Addicted to...Medical Thrillers

Hello, my name is Amy and I am addicted to reading medical thrillers.
Who are the top three medical thriller authors? I vote for Robin Cook, Karin Slaughter, and my absolute favorite, Tess Gerritsen. If you enjoy a good medical thriller, pick up a book by Tess Gerritsen. You will be up all night, unable to set it down. I even read one of her books while in labor. The doctors and nurses couldn't believe I could read while in labor, but seriously, I couldn't stop.

If you are going to start with one of her books, I would suggest picking up The Surgeon or Harvest.

From The Surgeon book jacket: "He slips into their homes at night and walks silently into bedrooms where women lie sleeping, unaware of the horrors they soon will endure. The precision of the killer's methods suggests he is a deranged man of medicine, propelling the Boston newspapers and the frightened public to name him "The Surgeon."

I read Robin Cook too. I liked the first one, but then it felt more like the recipe - the subject is slightly different, but the steps are always the same. But now I am tempted to try Tess Gerritsen. Maybe I'll pick her book up for my upcoming business trip.
