Summary: Suspenseful and Intelligent
Comment: This is the first book I've read by Dr. Michael Palmer and I am very impressed. The characters seemed very real and complex. I especially liked the fact that Harry Corbett was both compassionate and complex. "The Doctor" scared me to death! The plot was fascinating and the writing was top notch. It was a real page turner. I can't wait to read the next book by Palmer. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Another great meducal thriller!
Comment: This was a great book.. full of suspense right from the start. The only disappointment was the ending. I feel as if I was cheated. The ending leaves the reader hanging. Maybe you need to draw your own conclusions. This shouldn't keep anyone from not reading this book.
Once again, Michael Palmer leads the reader on a roller coaster ride of emotions. For the first time, it wasn't until near the end that I finally caught on. This is one of his better book.s

Summary: Medical thriller
Comment: Like Robin Cook, Michael Palmer writes medical thrillers. For those who doesn't know what this is, Palmer does with doctors what Grisham does with lawyers. The problem is, in my opinion, hospitals and doctors lack the plot-oportunities that we can easily find in the legal profession. So, in the end, everything seems very improbable, and the reader gets a feeling something is missing.
"Silent treatment" is about Dr. Korbet, a general practicioner (if I understood right, "gp"s are low in the "scale of doctors") whose wife is suddenly murdered during pre-op procedures. Korbet's life begins to go down the drain when he's accused of the murder and has no way to prove his innocence. On the other hand, a bunch of hot-shots of the medical-insurance industry are making reunions to, in a most unorthodox way, receive more money from their contributors. Obviously, the two plots are linked in some way or another.
This is not "the ultimate thriller", but is a light enterteinment, and an easy reading. There are many flaws, the most obvious being the very shall development of characters. The "bad guy" had a very good premise, but went underdeveloped as well, unfortunately.
If you are a Michael Palmer fan, read this one. If you're not, give it a try, if you have some time to spare.
