Dr. Toby Harper works the night shift in an emergency room. She spends her daytime hours alone with her mother who suffers from Alzheimer's disease. When elderly Alzheimer's patients from the same retirement home start dying mysteriously, Toby is the only one suspicious enough to investigate. As a result she finds herself, her mother, and her own sanity at risk.

"Very Engaging!!"
Tess Gerritsen is a great mystery writer. I have read her work in the past and this is the first audible book of hers that I have bought. The narrator is good and the character development is great. If you are looking for something that will entertain you and allow long drives to fly by, this is for you.

"Very good book"
I enjoyed this mystery because it had suspense and it wasn't all blood and gore. The main character had to actually use her brains and figure out what was going on.

"Quite a medical thriller with a twist"
If you could sum up Life Support in three words, what would they be?concept to think about-organ selling has been shown in multiple countries and makes you wonder if it does not happen more often
Who was your favorite character and why?the police officer-he was very authentic but compassionate
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?no-but i did look forward to each listening session

"gruesome at times"
good book, the story line was not at all what i expected but it kept me intrigued. i wondered though if the medical terminology may cause problems for readers with no medical back ground, but it seemed as though the author tried hard not to let that happen. it was gruesome at times especially the birth scenes but they were a necessary part of the story. i was a bit disappointed in the ending, it felt incomplete to me as far as solving the case was concerned and the finale' with the main characters.
the narrator was great.0 of 0 people found this review helpful -
"Oneluv"
What would have made Life Support better?This book started off good but fizzled out. Too lengthy and needs to get to the point.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)Im not going to finish the book.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?It was fine.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?Definately disappointed.
Any additional comments?The book is taking too long to get to the plot. I am ready for the story to be wrapped up. I can not sit through another 5+ hours to find out the ending. At this point who cares.

"Love medical details? This author is for you!"
Good story, enjoyed the characters, and the ending came together more logically than the previous Gerritsen book I read, Bloodstream (yes, with another female doctor). Parts of the book were riveting so that I took a few extra minutes to listen before I had to turn off my iPOD before work. Lots of medical detail, all ok with me because I am in the medical field, but I thought it may be way too much for average non-medical person. One of those books you can do at the beach. Looking forward to my 3rd TG book, Bone Garden!
