Rating:  Summary: What booksellers are saying about Lethal Practice Review: "What a thrilling first novel for author Peter Clement. Not since Robin Cook's first couple of novels have I enjoyed a medical thriller so much. It was really hard to put down and do other things like go to work. - Brenda Elliot, Oxford, Alabama "The most exciting book I've read in a long time. I couldn't put it down. I hope Peter Clement is working on his next medical thriller because I can't wait for more." - Vicky Jacobsen, Missoula, Montana "Really great! Moved so fast I didn't try to figure it out! I just went along for the ride and enjoyed every minuted of it." - Sandi Locke, Saugus, California "...highly engrossing and entertaining...It's a medical thriller that doesn't get bogged down by medical jargon! It's fast paced and readable, and I will definitely recommend this book to anyone who reads Michael Palmer or Robin Cook." - Sue McHugh, Northville, Michigan "Great debut novel - the story moves and carries the reader quickly from start to finish. Dr. Clement's background keeps the story authentic and urges the reader to continue on this heart-stopping suspense tale. Keep writing, Dr. Clement!" - Patty Wachter, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania "Mr. Clement writes like a seasoned pro! If his medical skills are as polished as his ability to relate them, I'd trust him anytime. Just enough medical detail to make it real, just enough suspense to keep me reading instead of doing other responsibilities. Great book and unexpected twist to the ending. I hope he writes more in the future." - Tish Murzyn, Hartley, Deleware "I loved it. Couldn't put it down. Very suspenseful." - Mary Veccelio, Flint, Michigan "An extraordinary medical thriller...contains plenty of believable scenarios with plenty of twists, suspense and surprises. It kept me riveted all night long. I'm ready for more by Peter Clement." - Ginny Hiaring, Clarinda, Iowa

Rating:  Summary: Not Bad Review: I am a lover of medical thrillers and this one was okay. It wasn't the worst medical thriller I have ever read, but it certainly wasn't the best either. Earl Garnet is an ER physician, whose wife is pregnant and also a physician. Earl is plunged into the middle of trouble when he is called to the chief admisistrators office to find the man dead. He also discovers a cardiac needle has been broken off in the murder victims chest. There are only a handfull of doctors who are skilled enough to know how to use a cardiac needle, and Dr. Garnet is among them. This fact quickly makes him a suspect.
Garnet, struggling to identify the real killer and clear his own name, soon becomes the killer's next target.
The story started out just fine and had enough action and suspense to keep you wanting to read through dinner and past your bedtime. There is enough medical jargon to make it interesting, but Clement doesn't over do it. He gives a brief explanation so any layman can keep up with the story. Clement trys to give the story a twist at the end that is lame and out of the blue. It was not well done, but all in all, the story is a good one and worth your time. Hopefully Clement will get a little better with plot organization for his next effort.
Rating:  Summary: Very entertaining Review: I enjoyed this book as a whole. I brought it with me on vacation; started reading it on the plane and couldn't put it down until it was finished! I like Peter Clement's writing style; coupled with his first-hand knowledge of the ER, patient care and hospital politics, it made this story a winner. Not Shakespeare, but it's not meant to be. I personally enjoy medical jargon, so for me there wasn't quite enough, but for the average person I'm sure it suffices. The only minor problem I had with this book is with the dialog, which seemed somewhat prissy and not entirely realistic (when not a physician speaking). Otherwise, a great read!
Rating:  Summary: This book was wonderful Review: I thought this book was GREAT!! It kept me in suspense from the beginning to the end, never knew who was responsible until the very end. Full of suspense, adventure, heart stopping moments. I can't wait for his next novel.
Rating:  Summary: Takes a while to get going Review: I was so excited to pick up this book due to my love of medical based thrillers. However, I found this book to be one of those that's "hard to get into". The first half of the book was just OK and I found myself making myself read it. The main character seemed to be on the outside looking in rather than invovled in the story. Things just weren't happening to him like you would expect in a "thriller". Finally at page 153 things started happening and after that I was liking the book a little more. The ending was well written and a great salvage to what I thought would be a downer of a book. I just wish the book would have grabbed me a little sooner than halfway through.
