A former medical detective for the Centers for Disease Control, Dr. Nate McCormick had seen enough suffering to last a lifetime. Now he’s left the CDC, determined to begin a new life with his girlfriend in San Francisco…until the vicious murder of a biotech researcher—an old friend—hurtles him back into the medical world he’d left behind. While the police hunt for a killer, Nate starts sifting through evidence, determined to find what his friend did to provoke his brutal death. And the truth he ultimately discovers far exceeds the very worst he had imagined. I liked the premise of this story but the main character, Nate, was often immature, angry and not that likeable. Nate also put himself and sometimes others in grave danger over and over again without good reason. There was interesting medical information scattered throughout and the pace was fast but Nate made so many bad decisions that I didn’t enjoy this much. This is a pretty good medical thriller - the second in a series, although I haven't read the first one. I like the main character - he's smart & smart-alecky & snotty in a way that amuses me. He's fleshed out & believable. The sense of place here (San Francisco) is fairly well rendered & the plot is twisty & turny & believable. It's also timely given our fascination with plastic surgery of all kinds. This was just what it was meant to be - a good, fun vacation read. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

A former medical detective for the Centers for Disease Control, Dr. Nate McCormick had seen enough suffering to last a lifetime. Now he's left the CDC, determined to begin a new life with his girlfriend in San Francisco...until the vicious murder of a biotech researcher--an old friend--hurtles him back into the medical world he'd left behind. While the police hunt for a killer, Nate starts sifting through evidence, determined to find what his friend did to provoke his brutal death. And the truth he ultimately discovers far exceeds the very worst he had imagined. As a circle of treachery tightens around Nate, and the woman he loves is thrust into the line of fire, patients surface with agonizing stories to tell. Nate is about to make the most startling discovery of all: a secret alliance between crime, science, and a billion-dollar industry determined to hide its victims at any price. For Nate, that price will be the one person most important to him--unless he can expose the flaw in a perfect conspiracy of medicine and murder. From shocking evidence revealed under a microscope to the shattering testimony of those betrayed by the ruthlessness of the medical industry, Flawless takes us on a terrifying, adrenaline-charged journey. Taut, thrilling, and relentless, it will leave you pondering its questions long after the last page is turned. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

Overall, this isn't a bad book, it just doesn't meet the standard set in the prior one. ( )
