Feminist Mystery Reviews Bloodstream Reviewed by Harriet Klausner Dr. Claire Elliot and her son Noah have moved from Baltimore to the small resort town of Tranquility, Maine in the hope that she can halt her son's delinquent behavior. Claire envisions a quiet family practice even though she realizes that she faces much difficulty in gaining acceptance from the townsfolk. She never expected to find a town on the brink of irrational violence. However, the town's adolescents are attacking and sometimes killing friends, family, and teachers. Claire notices the abnormality in the scans of two her patients, who committed violent acts. She also learns that a similar destructive act occurred over a half of century ago. Claire is willing to do what it takes to stop a growing menace that threatens to destroy the town even if her neighbors refuse to accept what she has learned is the truth. Tess Gerritsen can do no wrong when writing her medical thrillers. Drawing from her own medical background, this extremely talented writer pens a thriller that is also a social commentery on the ills of toxic waste and a resort community's "hush and the problem will go away attitude." There is no doubt that BLOODSRTREAM will hit the New York Times bestseller list as it rivals anything that Palmer and Cook can do. This is Tess Gerritsen's best work yet.
