Michael Palmer has quickly become my new favorite author, supplementing my love for all things Robin Cook after a long search for similar medical thrillers. His plots were engaging and exciting, characters lifelike and likable (or detestable, as the case may be), and his writing style was fluid and great for bedtime reading. Flashback is no exception. All the above elements come together with a story about a pitiful, violent, suffering child with a mysterious psychological condition that's physically killing him. Will the new ad hoc neurologist in town uncover the truth before it's too late for the boy and others? A must-read, this novel answers that question.
medische thriller van het lichtere genre. Zit goed in elkaar. Aangenaam
