Definitely a page turner

I read this book and thought it to be a great page turner... it didn't take me long to read it, I couldn't wait to get to the end.Another thing that I liked about this book is that the main character continues from Lethal Injection. The medical information was very interesting... makes you think how and if??? It kept me guessing right until the end... I can't wait for his next book!!I would recommend this book!!

Suspenseful

I bought this book, because I really enjoyed his previous one "Lethal Injection". It definitely was a real page-turner for me. I couldn't wait to get to the end of it, to see how it would end. The fact that he repeats his characters from the first book, I think is great. I had a hard time figuring out who the killer was. If you have a few hours to spare one day, start this book, you won't be able to put it down.

THE BEST BOOK I HAVE READ IN YEARS

Death Rounds was by far the best book i have read in years. It takes you on a roller coaster ride from the first page and leaves you breathless!! Peter Clements first hand knowledge of the inner workings of a big city ER gives this book the believability needed to grab you from page one and not let go till the story is done. He keeps you guessing from page to page. Not only WHO but HOW. Then raps it all up in a neat little package at the end. I really liked the fact that at the end of the book you were able to put it down without a lot of questions unanswered as with many mysteries I have read. I cant wait to get my hands on his next book.

You can't put it down

Clement's has a way of gluing you to the pages. I found it hard to put down. I'm a big fan of Robin Cooks, but this book is one of the best I've read in years. Now I need to read lethal practice. I'm sure it's as great as Death Rounds. He has done a great job with the first person narrative. I can't wait for his next one.

Will to for hospitals what Jaws did for water

In Buffalo, University Nospital and St. Paul's Hospital are in the process of merging some of their departments in order to reduce costs. Dr. Earl Garnett, chief of the emergency room of St. Paul's, is not interested in the swirling politics between the two hospitals. Like his spouse Janet, a University Hospital doctor, Earl only wants to be a healer. However, Earl feels guilty when he discharges a patient, a nurse at University, only to have her return the next day extremely ill. Janet informs Earl that this is the third nurse to exhibit the same pattern. She feels that the "Phantom," a being no one has seen, has been hurting those medical employees who have been known to mistreat their patients. Janet feels the dormant Phantom is real. When more deaths occur from a strain of a man-made bug, Earl believes his spouse's theory is true. Soon, the hospital faces hysteria, quarantine, and finally mass evacuation due to the Phantom's antics. Earl places his own life on the line to stop an avenging maniac from killing anyone else.Make room on the medical thriller keeper shelf for a new top gun in Peter Clements. This novel does to hospitals what JAWS did to beaches in the seventies. DEATH ROUNDS is a tension builder, suspense-filled chiller that will provide the audience with much reading pleasure; just do not get sick because the reader will not want to be even an out-patient. The hero is a caring every-person, who requires extraordinary circumstances to turn him into a legendary figure. Mr. Clements needs to provide fans with more novels starring that gem of a doctor, Earl Garnett. Harriet Klausner
