Fertile Ground stays in one's mind

I just love a book I don't easily forget. I'll always remember Fertile Ground. The fertility clinic information is fascinating while the plot and subplots are great. Rochelle Krich introduces a wonderful protag whom I hope I will find as I explore the other book worlds of Ms. Krich. Full of surprises (and red herrings for people like me), Fertile Ground is extremely entertaining. After you read it, you will never wonder, looking at the book years later, if you have read it. This is a wonderful quality especially as I have bought books I've already read many times!

tightly-woven plot about a fertility clinic with subplots

rochelle krich writes consistently thought-provoking, fast-moving books and injects bits of her jewish background which are woven into the major theme: i can't read her books fast enuf and am always amazed at the twists and turns of her stories...i love her "real" characters.

Good read, recommed to all.

Praise to Rochelle Krich for bringing yet a new heroine to her novels. Dr. Lisa Brockman is wonderful. I can usually figure out the 'bad guy' by the first half of a book, but this one kept me guessing all the way until the very end. Very well written and would love to see more of Dr. Lisa Brockman.

Krich hits another home run

Rochelle Krich qualifies as one of the best, yet least known, mystery writers of our time. With Fertile Ground, she delivers a taut, well-written suspense thriller -- the best of her books I have read. A plus is her ability to weave Jewish themes into the book in a way which leaves the material accessible to all, regardless of religion. This was a book I could not put down; she is every bit the equal of Faye Kellermann, and far superior to allegedly touted new writers like Lisa Scottoline.

Krich on the cutting edge, again!

Take this one on your next vacation with you! Krich's "Fair Game" and "Speak no Evil" are two of the most compelling, intelligent, and purely entertaining mystery novels I've ever read. Amazingly, she has now added a third book to my most elite list! "Fertile Ground," delivers with an exceptional heroine, issues from today's headlines, and is fertile with plot twists and surprises. Simply, a great read.
