A pleasant suprise - By: J. Burton, 04 Jun 2008 
I wasn't sure I would like this one as I really enjoy Ms Gerritsen's medical thrillers Well I loved it It only took me three days to read it, as I just had to find out "who'd done it"
PRESUMED GUILTY-DESERVING OF MORE THAN ONE STAR - By: Ap Nj Dorrall, 18 Jul 2004 MIRANDA WOOD'S EX-LOVER WAS FOUND STABBED TO DEATH IN MIRANDA'S BED WITH MIRANDA'S KITCHEN KNIFE. SHE HAD A MOTIVE - ALOVE AFFAIR GONE BAD - AND THE OPPORTUNITY.
BUT DESPITE HER PROTESTS OF INNOCENCE, MIRANDA IS SHOCKED TO LEARN SHE'S BEEN RELEASED ON BAIL - BAIL POSTED BY SOMEONE DETERMINED TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS. WAS THIS AN ACT OF KINDNESS DESIGNED TO BUY MIRANDA TIME TO CLEAR HER NAME? OR IS SOMEONE TRYING TO MANIPULATE MIRANDA AND DRAW HER INTO THE DARK AND SECRET WORLD OF A MURDERED MAN, WHERE EVERYBODY'S PRESEUMED GUILTY?
HOW TWO REVIEWS CAN BE SO DIFFERENT. ALTHOUGH NOT ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT, THIS IS BY NO MEANS A BOOK TO BE PUSHED ASIDE.
THIS IS A WELL WRITTEN TAUNT THRILLER, WHICH I THOURALLY ENJOYED.
MS. GERRITSEN HAS PROVED HERSELF TO BE A FINE WRITER OF MODERN DAY THRILLERS, AS WELL AS HER RENOWNED MEDICAL THRILLERS.(you must read "never say die"). YES THIS BOOK IS A TOUCH PREDICTABLE BUT IT DEFINATELY DESERVES MORE THAN ONE STAR.
THE CHARACTORS ARE WELL LAID OUT, THE IDEA IS A GOOD ONE AND YOU WILL KEEP GUESSING WHO THE KILLER IS FROM THE START.
MIRANDA KNOWS THAT SHE IS INNOCENT AND SETS ABOUT TRYING TO FIND THE KILLER, SHE GETS SOME HELP FROM AN UNLIKELY SOURCE - CHASE TREMAIN, HER EX-LOVERS BROTHER. ALTHOUGH HE'S NOT CONVINCED THAT SHE IS NOT THE KILLER, SOON IT IS APPARENT THAT SOMEONE IS TRYING TO KILL HER - WHY?- THAT'S THE QUESTION.
IT SOON BECOMES APPARENT, THAT THERE ARE A GREAT DEAL OF PLAYERS INVOLVED AND THEY ALL HAVE SOMETHING TO HIDE!
THIS IS A GOOD BOOK, WITH ENOUGH TO KEEP YOU ENTERTAINED.
I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.
Sad and disappointing for Ms Gerritsen - By: , 03 Jun 1999 
After having read 3 previous novels from M/s Gerritsen, which were 1st class I felt that this one is morein line to be classedin the Mills & Boon Category than anything else. M/s Gerristens other novels were loaded with believable plots & characters, but this story where I knew from the 1st page what was going to happen & it was as predicitble as Mills & Boon
I would not recommend reading this book unless every other bookin the world had been read, or unless of course Mills & Boon are your forte!
