Silent Treatment

De: Michael Palmer

Narrado por: George Guidall

In his previous best seller, Natural Causes, Dr. Michael Palmer drew on decades of emergency-room experience to create a terrifyingly realistic world where the line between medicine and murder is scalpel thin. In Silent Treatment, he crosses this line with a heart-pounding thriller guaranteed to satisfy fans of medical suspense.

When his wife mysteriously dies the night before she is scheduled for surgery, Dr. Harry Corbett realizes a killer is moving through the wards of Good Samaritan Hospital - a killer so sophisticated and silent that he can only be a doctor.

Excellent character development, and an first rate understanding of the "business of the healthcare industrial complex" bone chillingly gripping and real. It will be in my vacation selection when I "read" my favorites.

I'll read more of Mr. Palmer's books and listen to more of the narrator. They both did a fine job.

Captivating story

The story, "Silent Treatment", started out a tiny bit slow but then it sped up and was totally captivating. The characters seem real and there was so much going on that I couldn't put it down. But, alas, sometimes I had to. I couldn't wait until the next chapter to find out what happened to the character I had just read about. I loved it. #Mindbending #Suspenseful #Exciting #somesad #tagsgiving #sweepstake

What made the experience of listening to Silent Treatment the most enjoyable?

This was well written. Suspense from start to finish. I also enjoyed the possibility of the plot...and 'villians'. I think that made it even more plausible...to think, this could happen. May already be happening in our insurance world.

Any additional comments?

I'm used to reading mysteries/thrillers that have more depth. Characters are superficial, they have no intrigue. Mystery is too easy to solve. There is no action, no edge of the seat excitement. Dull but readable.
