From Publishers Weekly

Guidall's experienced reading brings a pleasant touch of class to Cook's latest thriller. A distinguished and self-confident physician, Craig Bowman is delivered an ego-shattering blow when he is sued for malpractice by the husband of one of his patients, hypochondriac Patience Stanhope, who died while under his care. The trial takes up the bulk of this wordy novel. Bowman's wife asks her brother, medical examiner Dr. Jack Stapleton, to use his expertise to help with her husband's defense. Stapleton agrees, but what should be a routine forensic exercise quickly turns into a dangerous trail of lies, deception and murder. While it takes some time to get to the story's climax, Cook eventually ties up all the loose ends, although the denouement feels more gimmicky than surprising. Guidall exhibits admirable vocal talents as he manages to keep this overwritten novel moving at a satisfying pace, and the ease with which he works his way through the mounds of legal and medical jargon throughout the book is a testament to his skill as a narrator. Fans of Cook's writing should enjoy this dignified presentation.

From AudioFile

Cook's newest medical mystery is as complicated as a sensitive surgery. New York doctor Jack Stapleton is a medical examiner, and Boston doctor Craig Bowman is a physician in a busy upscale practice. Craig needs Jack's help. He's made a mistake and now risks losing his reputation and license. Two main characters, countless minor ones, love interests, a continuous stream of medical cases, a trial, and personal problems . . . there's only one narrator who could pull it all off. It's George Guidall, who reads at a fast clip, differentiating characters with a touch of nuance and intimating emotions with a subtlety of inflection that proves once again his mastery of the audio performance.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Crisis-A Medical Mystery That Targets Concierge Medicine, Juil 12 2009
This review is from: Crisis (Hardcover)
The book starts off a bit slowly as Craig Bowman, a doctor with excellent clinical skills but poor bedside manner, loses a patient in his concierge medicine practice and gets sued. Dr. Bowman is accustomed to success and accolades and unravels under the implications of the lawsuit. He moves back in with his wife Alexis whose brother, Jack, is a medical examiner in New York. When Jack enters the story, the suspense and interest accelerate considerably. In a thriller/mystery such as this, not everything is as it seems to be as Jack digs through the layers to find out the truth. The book is a bit wordy but otherwise engaging. The courtroom scenes are especially well-done. The Griffon Trilogy: Part I

3.0étoiles sur 5 Read Not to Be Entertained, But to Learn, Déc 14 2007
This review is from: Crisis (Paperback)
Theres a lot to admire about the author. He started writing novels as a way of bringing medical issues into the public eye, and he still does that today. This 2006 novel introduces readers (well, Id never heard of it before) to concierge medicine, whichwell, read the book, and that should explain it. But this novel is more medico-legal than the authors previous medical thrillers. Im fascinated with all the medical issues the author explores, but purely as a reader I have trouble enjoying the characters and the writing. Though Dr Latasha Wylie is a gem. So I dont read these novels for entertainment: I read to learn, and Im very grateful to Dr Robin Cook for that.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Anatomy of a malpractice lawsuit!, Oct. 21 2007
Par Ian Gordon Malcomson (Smithers, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Crisis (Paperback)
Though I am not a fan of Robin Cook's fast-paced, suspenseful medical thrillers, I decided to give his latest a try, and was not disappointed. The story covers the intricate details of medical malpractice/wrongful death suit brought by the estate of Patience Stanhope against Dr. Craig Bowman, an internist and concierge doctor in the Boston area. There are plenty of conceivable twists and turns in the plot as Dr. Bowman fights to save his professional reputation. Everything seems stacked against him until a medical expert appears on the scene. Halfway through the book, a Dr. Jack Stapleton, a prominent New York City medical examiner and Craig's brother-in-law, starts his own investigation of the circumstances surrounding Patience's death, and all of a sudden the whole direction of the story changes. In typical Cook style, the novel is loaded with medical terminology and legal jargon, all effectively used to describe the unfolding search for clues and evidence. The actions and motives of the main characters like Bowman and Stapleton, on the whole, are well developed and plausible. I had no problems initially understanding why Bowman was under a lot of pressure after he was served with court papers. At this point, the reader might be very sympathetic to his plight. What surprised me was that Bowman has another side to his life that the author gradually and cleverly exposes through the actions of someone who is wants to help him clear his name. What starts out as a civil action eventually becomes a criminal matter. Cook has produced a great page-turner with a superbly managed plotline. A long the way, he raises some ethical issues concerning the operation of concierge style medicine for the wealthy.
