The Last Surgeon: A Novel Audiobook

" This was a mystery/suspense & one that had surprises. A surgeon/ex military with PTSD is running a mobile van to help the homeless & is in search of a friend that saved his life 4 years ago. Then there's a psychiatric nurse that is trying to find her sisters killer. Her sister supposedly committed suicide but that's not the case. These 2 get together to figure out what's going on. "

" Gotta love Palmer. His medical books are usually spot on and really make you think. "

" Not as good as I thought it was going to be but OK for a medical thriller. Murders were a bit unnecessarily gruesome and characters a bit underdeveloped. Will not rush to read another of his books. "

" I usually like Michael Palmer, but other than the requisite violence and romance, the entire plot escaped me... "

" Another Michael Palmer novel so ya know I loved it! "

" once I got into Michael Palmer's books I couldn't put them down "

" I got bored once or twice but it kept me guessing until the end. I liked it. "

" Nancy 5 stars; Ron 4.5 stars "

" I really like this story!! Just when I thought that Nick was gonna get away from the bad guy, he doesn't. I wish that he would "nailed" the killer in the head in that office. Nick gets away but gets caught again. The ending was kind of predictable. "

" This one was filled with coincidental connections and lucky breaks, but still an interesting plot. It was a nice change from the big-bad-HMO story lines that have dominated medical fiction of late. "

" Lots of excitement but a little convoluted to follow. "

" Stopped after 5-6 chapters... I've grown to hate the whole "let's get inside the mind of a sick & twisted killer for hire" part of the thriller genre. I don't need to read another book that makes me feel like I need a shower when I finish reading 20 pages or so. "

" The start was a bit slow, but I read it within the 7 day time limit. Held my interest through the end. Similar to a Robin Cook medical mystery. "

" Excellent work as usual for Michael Palmer! Five stars to you again! "

" Michael Palmer brilliant as always ..... "

" As a member of the medical society, this book was wonderfully intriguing and contained accurate medical details which lent to the captivating factor. "

" Not my favorite by this author -- I liked The First Patient more. But the background/setting of dealing with the PTSD of mid-East war vets was timely and interesting, and the hero was a sympathetic character. The book was a little to ugly in places for me. But it's an ugly subject... "

" Nancy 5 stars; Ron 4.5 stars "

" Nancy 5 stars; Ron 4.5 stars "

" Can't really pin point why I didn't care for this book. The first part of the book seemed to drag for me in some spots and then, in others, seemed to jump around a lot. I kept reading hoping that it would progress, but it didn't for me. I found the ending dissappointing. "

" This one was really good. I was kept at the edge of my seat the entire time and didn't really know how it was going to turn out. The twist and turns were really well done. I liked Dr. Nick and I wish we got to read about him again. "

" Great medical thriller "

" A medical thriller by a new author to me. Somewhat like Robin Cook's work. The sociopathic killer is right up there on par with Dexter. Very scary. We can only hope the United States does not actually engage in dark ops similar to this one. "

" I live Michael Palmer... But this isn't one if my favorites. A little slow moving and predictable. Too bad :( "

" Very intriguing and very creepy at the same time. Really, really liked this book. "

" My Aunt gave me this book. I am just not a big fan of murder mysteries. Hate all the blood and violence. "

" Another good one by Michael Palmer. "

" A little more graphic than most of his books--but he is still my most favorite action-thriller writers. An enjoyable vacation read. As always, loved the hero characters Michael Palmer creates. "

" Very suspenseful! Easy summer read. "

" mystery::::: this is quite a good book in some places the sledding isa little hard but generally it moves along ok. characters are ok or maybe a little better than better than ok...as far as the plot, it seems to me though interesting it lacks something in the telling "

" The book was entertaining, but this is the first time I have read a book that revealed so much about the murderers thoughts. I found it creepy. I appreciated the insight about veterans with PTSD. "

" Great book. Keeps you reading until you finish. Don't want to put it down. "

" Great story, although the writing was a little cheesy sometimes. "

" I usually love Michael Palmer books, but this was just too brutal and horrific. I read it but was repulsed for 3/4's. "

" This book was too graphic for me. Otherwise it would have received three stars. "

" I liked this audio book. It was easy to listen too, but complex enough that I didn't have it all figured out before the final few chapters. Michael Palmer is a favorite writer... "

" Dr. Palmer delivers another reliably entertaining medical mystery thriller. This one features a particularly nasty villain. "

" I wanted to like it more but it just felt so predictable. An airplane book but not one that caught my attention enough to make the flight fly by. "

" Five stars for The Last Surgeon. The book was fast paced, entertaining, and cleanly written. Plus it has a friggin' creepy bad guy! "

" If you like medical thrillers with a twist of James Bond then you will like this book. Some parts were a little too creepy for me. "

" there are a lot of twists and turns in this story that get all tied up and resolved by the end. If you like a story that doesn't leave any loose ends you will be satisfied with this story. The good guys win, there is some collateral damage but everyone is happy! "

" An interesting story marred by some seriously clunky writing. "
