INTENSIVE CARE

I THOUGHT I DIDN'T HAVE THIS BOOK BUT I DID DOESN"T MATTER I READ ANY WAY THIS IS A VERY GOOD AUTHOR I WOULD RECOMEND THIS AUTHOR TO ANY ONE.

Fast paced and un-put-downable...

An amazingly good medical thriller. I love a heroine like Ev...strong, sexy, funny. I highly recommend the first novel in the series, Blood Run.

Can't put down!

Can't put down the book and it gets exciting every chapter. I'm looking forward to more books of Ms. Robinson.

Suspenseful and a definite page-turner!!!

A book with twists and turns, that will literally make you insane. Definately, very well written, being an ER fanatic or not, this book cannot go unread!

Emergency Room doctor meets NYC serial killer

Building on her career as an EMT in New York, Robinson combines the organized chaos of a busy Emergency Room with the terror of a serial killer stalking, raping and killing women. Dr. Ev Sutcliffe sees three of her friends killed by the "Baby Doll" killer (named for his propensity to leave behind baby dolls). She gets closer and closer to the killer, realizing that the killer knows who she is. The ending has no deus ex machina, only a superb denouement which brings together all the hints to the only logical conclusion, even though it's the one no one would anticipate. As in Blood Run, Robinson's first book, the medical terminology and facts are impeccable. The action is fast and there's even love, of many kinds
