Medical Mystery Madness Challenge
I've never actually read much in the medical mystery sub-genre, but I have about five or six Robin Cook novels so I figured I'd try reading a few of them for this challenge. Here are the ones I chose:
1. Fatal Cure by Robin Cook 2. Acceptable Risk by Robin Cook 3. Brain by Robin Cook
