THE SURGEON

The Surgeon.....

This book, no the author itself was a late find for me. Tess Gerritsen is now one of my favorite authors, who captivated me with her first novel itself. This book explores the brutal reality around us, the actual blood lust and how women are hunted. The book is well written and reveals like a TV show. There were times when I actually kept the book away because of the gruesome details that I just pictured in my head, but that I believe is the victory of psychological thriller.
The book also shows us the way the mind of a psycho works, although only the thoughts could have been more, it felt like watching a movie, fast paced and thrilling. The sheer brilliance of the book lies in the way the story got connected and the way it lead to the most breath-taking climax. It kept me on my seat the whole time I read the book.
This book is definitely one of my favorites, as I loved all the characters and the flow of the plot. But the main reason for my admiration is for how much the book deals with the pain of raped women and the fact their sufferings are never actually over, as they are still hunted and pitied upon. They are seen as defiled beings and is contempted upon constantly. It deals a lot with the raw pain they have suffered and is still facing in their day-to-day life.
Totally looking forward to read more of her works.....
