Customer Reviews

Exciting, fast-paced medical thriller.

Langello writes books that you feel compelled to finish in one or two sittings. "The Clinic" was a compelling book about desperate infertile couples who are willing to do anything to conceive a child. "The Cure" is about equally desperate people who will pay anything to cure or control Alzheimer's Disease. Naturally, there are unscrupulous people who, for a fee, are willing to take advantage of people's desperation. The villains are truly villainous and the spunky heroine is an intelligent woman whose love for her father blinds her to some unpleasant truths until the end. This is a page-turner for those who love medical thrillers, as I do.
