Mortal Strain

Rating:
Summary: Great medical thriller!
Review: For some books, you're willing to sacrifice sleep, just to read one more chapter (then another). This is one of those books.

Mortal Strain is a very well-crafted, compelling book and an exciting story. From the first chapter, it's clear that this is going to be a good ride. The array of delightfully complex characters kept me engaged in guessing which were the good guys and which were the bad guys. Watford serves up a creative and satisfying twist on the medical thriller theme.

I'm looking forward to the movie version of Mortal Strain. In the meantime, I can't wait to read Watford's next book.

Summary: Great medical thriller!
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The premise was different from most medical thrillers (which I love), the venue was well described (prison facilities) and the setting, Atlanta, was vivid. I could be more explicit, but since this just came out, I don't want to be a 'spoiler'. So I'll just say Mr. Watford's debut novel was fine entertainment, and I was reminded at times, of a younger James Lee Burke. I look forward to his next book. I definitely think W.H. Watford is an author to watch.

Summary: Loved It !!!
Review: WH Watford has written a medical suspense thriller that has just the right amount of each component. There's enough medical info and knowledge to be realistic, but not so much that it's overwhelming. The reader is definitely kept in suspense, trying to figure out- along with the main character- what's going on. And the thriller aspect - what's going to happen next?- never lets up, with plot twists and turns that kept me turning the pages when I should have been cookng dinner! A keeper! I look forward to his next book!
