In true Michael Palmer fashion, The Last surgeon is spellbinding. Having read many of his books (and posting a few reviews last year), Palmer likes to pack a lot into his stories. Not just a lot of action, but many twists and unexpected connections. This latest book is no exception. Ride along with Nick and Junie, a doctor and nurse in a traveling RV that helps treat Vets and the homeless. Follow Jillian as she searches for answers in her sister’s supposed suicide. Get inside the mind of a hired killer who lives for his work. Find out how a renowned plastic surgeon, a sardonic medical records clerk, a terrorist and a political candidate are all connected. Like in all of his stories, Palmer saturates your senses without overwhelming you. He keeps you glued to the page wondering what he will come up with next, yet infuses the story with realism so you become invested in the outcome of these characters. A mystery/thriller at its finest! Five out of five stars.
Join me in congratulating Michael on making the New York Times Best Seller List this week.
Ok, I admit, I’m a big fan of Michael Palmer’s books and have purchased most of them. So, it was a nice surprise to receive a signed ARC of this one from the man himself. In the accompanying letter he has promised a signed copy for one of my readers. If you would like the chance to win this fabulous book then leave a comment with a question for the author.
Be sure to check out his
website for a glimpse of all his titles and great tips for authors.

I'm overwhelmed by the myriad of action in this book! At first I was thinking, "overload," but when you said, "without overwhelming you" — that really got my attention, and interest!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to ask Michael where he gets his ideas, and the kind of research he must do! I get the impression it must be quite involved to gather so much information for books so full of STORY!
I would LOVE to get an autographed copy! Either way this is now on my TBR list!!
Never would've guessed you were a fan - LOL!
ReplyDeleteWish I was more into mystery thrillers!
