Helpful Score: 7
Let me start off by saying I never EVER read Mystery/Thriller types. After the first 75 pages or so I'm bored out of my mind and never finish them. So, when a coworker of mine heard that I love to read and gave 'Miracle Cure' to me, I thanked her and fake smiled and assumed it would go straight to the garage sale bin. But I felt bad and decided to take a chance.
And WOW. Totally impressed by it. If all mysteries were this interesting and intriguing and fun to read I might find myself switching genres.
Here's what the back cover has to say: Theyre one of the countrys most telegenic couples: beloved TV journalist Sara Lowell and New Yorks hottest basketball star, Michael Silverman. Their family and social connections tie them to the highest echelons of the political, medical, and sports worlds threads that will tangle them up in one of the most controversial and deadly issues of our time. In a clinic on Manhattans Upper West Side, a doctor has dedicated his life to eradicating a divisive and devastating disease. One by one, his patients are getting well. One by one, theyre being targeted by a serial killer. And now Michael has been diagnosed with the disease. Theres only one cure, but many ways to die.... Coben adroitly applies the fundamental rules of thrillerdom (offer a raft of potential villains; keep the action moving at breakneck speed) in this highly entertaining novel...a page-turner!
