A well-known scientist, who has recently discovered an effective vaccine for cocaine addiction, dies from anaphylaxis after a routine injection in the office of his allergist, Dr. Leonard Haberman. A malpractice lawsuit ensues, fanned by a politically ambitious senator. Questions arise when it is discovered that the cocaine vaccine specifications are missing along with the head technician who worked closely with the deceased scientist. CBI Agent Ben Locke connects these events with a cold case involving the mysterious death of another scientist and a nefarious plot implicating an organized mob is exposed, placing Haberman and his family at great risk.

I read a lot however, I avoid medical thrillers because I'm a doctor and frequently get irritated by the technical errors in the medicine and also because I am largely uninterested in a beautiful intern running around a hospital wondering why her patients are all dying. Somehow I stumbled in Anaphylaxis and picked it up, in part because of all the positive reviews (more than the five family member's obligatory 5 star reviews). I am really glad I did. First, the medicine was spot on. Kudos to Dr. Wanderer for his accuracy and realism. The medical scenes were told (and read) by someone who has lived them. Second, the plot is a real whodunnit with the answer in front of you but not really so you are guessing -- and surprised -- until the end. Without giving too much away, the plots and subplots fit together cleverly as a jigsaw puzzle with enough overlap that you thought you knew the answer until you then realized you had assumed incorrectly. There is no wasted information and no wasted scene. It all counts. That's why I enjoyed the plotting so much. It is a meaty book without meaningless diversions. The stakes are high and the tension palpable as you see the trajectory of each of the major players wind their way through the book. I am afraid I put off quite a few responsibilities while I had to finish it. Well worth the investment in time.

Weel done, Dr. Wanderer. I'm looking forward to the next one.

I found this book to be an interesting mystery and suspenseful page turner. The medical mystery itself was a new genre for me and very absorbing and easy to follow. I quickly became involved in the story and stayed absorbed until the end—not always easy with a whodunnit. I felt the author had a good grasp of human nature and incorporated that well in his character development which added a great deal to my particular enjoyment of the book.

I'm a sucker for a good medical thriller, so I eagerly picked up ANAPHYLAXIS. It started out well, crisp and engrossing. Chapter 2 really caught my attention, and I eagerly settled in for a most excellent read. Unfortunately, it went downhill quite a bit after that, especially after the 2/3 mark.

I do like the protagonist. Lenny was someone to whom it was easy to relate. I found myself caring what happened to him, how he was going to solve his problems. When there was a degree of resolution about 2/3 of the way in, though, all literary tension dissipated.

The medical aspects seemed accurate with one exception. I am not an expert, but everything seemed "right" with regards to that. The one exception was the psychiatric scenes. I realize that the reader does not want to read an hour's worth of counseling, but people were in and out of the office in what would be mere minutes. I think the author needs to cover the time more effectively.

The courtroom scenes also played well, perhaps better than the medical.

Other parts were not as well done. The military descriptions were way off, for example, both in terminology and actions (e.g., there is no "bronze medal" but rather a Bronze Star Medal). The author went to great lengths to have physicians and lawyers read his manuscript (to his credit), so I was surprised he had no military, law enforcement, EMT, etc. personnel give him the same service.

Forgetting accuracy in the details, the actual writing was not up to the highest standards. Characterization was one dimensional. We had "bad" Italian mafia men, "bad" doctors out to make a buck and not bother with board certification, "bad" Christian fundamentalists (although who have a change-of heart), "bad" politicians who ride the moral bandwagon, "bad" hookers. There was very little subtlety or shades of grey in them. At times, they bordered on the cartoonish.

The coincidences in the book defied acceptable odds. It seemed that everyone was connected in some way or the other, going back years and years. While this could be accepted if this were a small town setting, in this case, we were dealing with large cities across the breadth of the nation.

One unbelievable scene had a medical technician, one who had worked for quite some time in the job, make an unbelievably stupid decision due to a lack of comprehension. A child would not make that mistake, much less someone who worked in the field.

This is a thriller. The "rules" of the genre are that hints need to be dropped as to "who done it," but we need to keep guessing until the reveal. There was no guessing in this one. The end was telegraphed quite early in the novel, and with each other possible suspect being slowly eliminated, continuing to read was like marching to bad news. Each step removed any hope that there was a twist that would surprise. When the reveal was made, instead of "wow!" it was more of a deflated balloon.

I got a laugh when one character expressed the whys as to his distaste for medical thrillers. Unfortunately, some of his reasons were exhibited in this book.

I understand and accept the the author worked hard to make a medical thriller that was accurate to the medical profession. In this area, I think the author succeeded. However, most textbooks are accurate. When delving into fiction, the writing, the plot construction, the wordsmithing--all of them have to work. A book cannot only be accurate: it must be a good read.

I give this book three stars, so I don't think it is a bad book. It is worth a read. But I can't really place this book in the upper echelons of books I have read this year.
