Negative Positive
Title: This is a weak and imitative pseudo-thriller.
Review: I predict that this book will sink quickly without a trace. "Mortal Judgments" (how's that for an original title) is a forgettable entry into the already overcrowded legal-medical thriller genre. It has an overly complicated and not too coherent plot with characters so forgettable that as soon as I closed the book, I had to strain to remember what I had read. No cliche is left unused in this tired plot: the mysterious and unexplained death in the operating room, the spunky heroine (who is both a doctor and a lawyer), the corpses that pile up because they are getting TOO CLOSE TO THE TRUTH. The ending is anticlimactic and rather dull, as our heroine finds herself chased by her assailants. Will she survive? This is a yawn.
