    About this audiobook

    In his previous best-seller, Natural Causes, Dr. Michael Palmer drew on decades of emergency-room experience to create a terrifyingly realistic world where the line between medicine and murder is scalpel-thin. In Silent Treatment, he crosses this line with a heart-pounding thriller guaranteed to satisfy fans of medical suspense. When his wife mysteriously dies the night before she is scheduled for surgery, Dr. Harry Corbett realizes a killer is moving through the wards of Good Samaritan Hospital-a killer so sophisticated and silent that he can only be a doctor.

      Pretty good thriller. There is a conspiracy. A dangerous killer. The hero just goes from more and more danger. Harry is a very good man and a veteran.
    • 4/5
      Whilst this had a certain air of deja vu having similar plot elements to a Robin Cook book I had read previously (insurance companies killing expensive patients to save money) there was a distinct difference in implementation of these plot elements. In Silent Treatment the story is more about the ramifications of those acts & the people involved in them, than the acts themselves.Specifically, a friendly doctor, Harry Corbett, has his wife go in for what should be a rather run of the mill neurosurgery operation, only before she even gets to the operating theatre she dies. Blame is thrust upon Harry by a fellow doctor who had been planning to run away with his wife, and as Harry works to clear his name the situation becomes murkier than it initially appeared.Overall, it was an excellent medical thriller that was thoroughly enjoyable with a climactic ending that wrapped the subplots up nicely. Would recommend for fans of medical thrillers, or thrillers in general.

      I have obtained several of Michael Palmer’s book over the years just by purchasing bulk lots of books of of eBay, and so forth. I think I have 6 or 7 of his book, but this is the first time I picked one up.I thought Silent Treatment was an alright read. It was pretty much your typical medical thriller. There was lots of suspense, so I kept wanting to read on, and on. I did find the ending rushed. The book was 447 pages. Because of the length, certain areas of the book seemed long and drawn out. I found Palmer’s writing style to be very similar to Robin Cook’s, whose books I enjoy very much.
