Gerritsen - Life Support - 09/04/07 - 13/04/07

Although this is a crime book it is different from many others in the genre. For a start, we sort of know who the criminals are from very early on in the story. The interest here comes from waiting for the main characters to work out exactly who and why.

It's clear that Gerritsen is an expert writing in a field that she understand extremely well. For the non-expert reader in particular the medical detail is deep and very satisfying. This book will appeal to all those who love ER and in particular House, but for anyone who is shy of blood it is best avoided, the descriptions can be very intense and hyper-realistic.

Gerritsen also writes more traditional police focused books, but this is a welcome change to the genre standards. Well worth reading.
