Best Christmas present this year

I love mysteries and my wife gave me this book for Christmas. It was one of the most exciting reads I ever had. The action jumps off the page. The plot is, as the book jacket says, unreal. Only a doctor could think these murders up. I loved the slight hint of sarcasm in Kirvin's writing. A great first novel which would make a great movie. You must read this book.
I knew he could do surgery, but this! WOW!!

I have worked with Dr. Kirvin for several years, and had no idea that he was a writer as well as a surgeon. When he told me about the book, I immediately ordered it, and read it in one sitting. I found it to be very absorbing and suspense filled. The teaser ending has me anxiously waiting for the next book. My experience with Dr. Kirvin just goes to show that you can't always tell a book by its cover. There is a lot more to this surgeon than just medical knowledge. He knows how to tell a good story, and the main character is facinating. I look forward to saying,"I knew him before he was a famous author".

Mr. Kirvin's first novel is a must read. With each turn of the page I wondered what could possibly be around the corner. I stayed up into the wee hours of the morning. I just couldn't put it down. Enjoy.
The Best Mystery Ever
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I did not head the warning on the front of the book jacket and began to read late Saturday night, planning to just start The Referee. I wanted to see if the warning was for real, because I never believe that stuff. It was. I read right through the night until I finished the book. What a great book. I can't wait for Kirvin's next one. The last page leaves you looking for more.
