"Very competent medical thriller. The pace is brisk. The plot is quite tight. The mood is a little too oppressive as the heroine is dealt blow after blow after blow. Think Fugitive with more medical/technical detail and a female hero. "
— Laylah (4 out of 5 stars)

" 2 zeer spannende verhalen die zich afspelen in de medische wereld. Telkens met een vrouw in de hoofdrol "

" Another great medical thriller from Gerritsen. Fast read and hard to put down as you try to find out just why the residents of a posh retirement community are dying--and not from old age! "

" Not a favorite by far. I was actually having so much trouble getting into the book I lost it and had to find a replacement for the library!! I have never lost a book before! The ending was rushed, one thing I notice a little to often with this author. "
— Jessica, 4/11/2011 -
" Want to live way past your prime and still be in it? Who knew human growth hormone can make it happen (at least in fiction). Creepy. "

" This was one of her first books written and the last one I read so it wasn't as gripping as her later ones. A good read, but I could definitely tell what was going to happen before it did. "
