Finding a truly remarkable novel, so good that it can’t be put down, it’s no easy task. For me is about one in twenty. That’s a lot of crap to wade through before finding something special and worthwhile. The feeling I get when I do make such a discovery is indescribable. My heart flutters, my breathing quickens, and until I’m done reading sleep is impossible. Sometime though, the experience is so strong it can be described as almost religious.
I started reading Harvest with very low expectations. I had read two other Gerritsen novels in the past and I was not too impressed. In this gripping, fascinating, complex and enthralling work of fiction, the former internist turned novelist truly outdoes herself. This is a medical thriller of surpassing quality and depth.
This page turner of a novel easily makes the list of the best top ten thrillers ever written. It contains twists upon twists and characters so vivid and real your heart goes out to them at every turn of the page. It is the book that propelled Tess Gerritsen to well deserved fame. If you haven’t read it, it’s time. Don’t wait, pick it up today.
