A Case of Need by Michael Crichton, Jeffery Hudson
4.0
"A Case of Need" is a very early pseudonymic Michael Crichton thriller. Set in Boston in the 60s, it tells the story of a doctor wrongly accused of a crime, and another doctor trying to clear his name over the objections of the Boston medical community, the police, and the public at large.
Even at this early stage of his career, the author knew how to craft a compelling story and populate it with memorable, believable characters. With its short chapters and no-nonsense plot, this is a good book to keep loaded on your phone's reading app. You can read it for five minutes while you're waiting in line or on hold, and pick it up again with no problem a few days later.
"A Case of Need" won't change your life, but I respect it. It knows what it's about, and it gets the job done.
