Foreign Body by Robin Cook
2.0
2.5 stars
This was dull.
It's been about 25 years since I last read a book by Robin Cook and I remember really enjoying them in my teens. I also seem to remember it being more of a medical mystery - where part of the enjoyment was trying to figure out what was happening and/or who (what?) was doing it.
This one didn't follow that recipe. From the start, you, as the reader, had all the information, and the main theme was to read how the good guys figured it out. There was some drama and it was set in India, but Robin Cook is not a creative writer, and without that "unknown" element to draw me in, I found it a boring read.
