I have just finished reading Michael Palmer's Silent Treatment and there's all but one word to say: Wow! A well-knit plot, engaging characters, action, suspense, all these ingredients make this novel a captivating book. It was hard to put down and a real pleasure to read night after night.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not exactly a page-turner, August 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Silent Treatment (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the first of Michael Palmer's books that I have read. It was interesting enough to keep me reading. I finished it in no time flat, but it was not captivating. It lacked real excitement and ended too abruptly. I never connected with Harry, and at times I wished Dickenson would just arrest him and get it over with. As a graduate student in Health Administration I was excited but disgusted by the whole managed care sub-plot. Wow. That took a creative imagination.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but too similar to "The Sisterhood", July 5, 1998

This review is from: Silent Treatment (Mass Market Paperback)

I made the mistake of reading one of Michael Palmer's previous books, "The Sisterhood", right after reading this book. While both books are excellent, many parts of the stories were interchangable. A doctor wrongly charged with murder. A high power group trying to frame him. A fight over alcohol abuse.

Mr. Palmer builds his stories well. He gets you in the middle of five or six story lines, and brings them all together by the end of the book.
