With a Vengeance

Rating:
Summary: A Must Read!
Review: The city of St. Louis and its County join forces to form a first rate SWAT Team that services the region. The only person on the group who doesn't carry a gun is the medic Maggie O' Brien. Maggie and her team are called in to break up a hostage situation with the victim being Maggie's boyfriend Sean Delaney and the perpetrator is a paranoid schizophrenic Montana Bob, a former FBI agent.

She talks Montana Bob down but he suddenly dies in the hospital. Maggie wonders if somebody killed him after he told her the names of three other people. When she seeks the trio, she learns that the two gangbangers and the pediophile also died in her hospital where she works as a trauma nurse. Maggie starts collecting evidence involving a silent conspiracy between people she knows in the hospital and the police department. She just has to figure out where to deliver her information to before she is killed or framed for murder.

It has been too many years since a crime thriller from Eileen Dreyer was released, but WITH A VENGEANCE is well worth the wait. The heroine is an admirable person with a subtle sense of humor who lives in perpetual crisis mode that would break many people, but she thrives on it. Her decision to root out the perpetrators knowing she will be shunned by her peers or killed is courageous but she still willingly pays the price. This is a first rate action packed medical thriller on a par with Robin Cook.

Summary: An Excellent Read!
Review: This is one of the best medical thrillers I have read in some time. The characters are well drawn and held my interest and the plot is not only plausible but probably close to truth. Her writing style is quick and smooth and the medical jargon is easy to understand. With this book she has jumped right over Cook, Goldberg, and Palmer. I hope she keeps writing!

Summary: Great Book
Review: This is the first time I have read a book by this author. It is one of the best suspense/drama novels I have read in a while. This story has everything one could want in a mystery: a dame with a solid head on her shoulders, a hunk, murders galore, a gay doctor, an overbearing father who is an ex-cop, and a homeless psycho was used to be an FBI agent. The plot and storyline are both great and the action doesn't let up. There is also a bit of humor sprinkled in for good measure.

Ms. Dreyer writes a believable hard-hitting novel. Despite all that has happened in our heroine's life, she comes through victorious and with a lot of class. The ending was not a real surprise, but it was pulse pounding action from the first page to the last. I am sorry I have missed this author's books and will be looking for them in the future.
