Images is a wonderfully fresh and exciting medical suspense story that is simply impossible to put down. I have not enjoyed reading a book as much as this one in a very long time. Author Lauri Broadbent has written a story that addresses a new and unheard of medical procedure and makes it sound believable. The suspense is very real, as are the characters and the plot. I would love to see Images turned into a movie; it would be a huge success. I believe that all fans of suspense tales, medical mysteries and just good reading should add this to their summer reading list. Images is a top-notch winner.
