Summary: Rivetting and suspenseful
Comment: This book is fantastic from beginning to end. I read a lot of mysteries, and I love Kathy Reichs, who gave this a great blurb, so I bought it. The hero is a "reconstructive" plastic surgeon, which means he does mostly major operations to fix people who have been in terrible accidents or who have present at birth malformations, and the descriptions of his operations are both shocking and fascinating. The difference with most of the forensic mysteries one reads however, is that all of this is happening on living people. It's all the more suspenseful, too, because you like the main character but you're not sure if you can really trust him. It's hard to know what else to say without giving
away the plot, which I bet you won't figure out until the very end. I thought Ghost Image was a really fun, engrossing read. I thought the order and progression of the story at the very beginning of the novel was very well planned out and was thoughtful. The whole plot was very well written and you didn't want to put the book down until you were finished. Cheers to Ghost Image.

Summary: Yeah, a new writer who can write!
Comment: I am just here to jump on the Joshua Gilder bandwagon. I am so happy to have a new author to read. I love suspense thrillers, but find that most of the books I pick up are so poorly written I can't even finish them. I know it is a cliché to call Ghost Image a "page-turner" but it truly is one!!!! From beginning to end, I could not put this down. The first page grabs you, not with a murder (those come later) but with a scene that immediately gives you that sick-in-the-pit-of-your- stomach and a this-ain't-good event.
The story unfolds against the backdrop of California and the world of plastic surgery, however this will also appeal to those who like the forensic mysteries that are popular now, it is technical, detailed, fascinating. The characters are interesting, flawed and well developed. Some of the secondary characters will be recognizable, but the main ones are truly unique and complicated.

Summary: library worthy
Comment: read a library copy but i intend to buy one for my library, it's that good. one's interest is kept throughout the book as gilder keeps throwing in twists to keep you wondering which way the story is heading. this book is up there with the best.
