Exciting and intriguing!
Sure glad I read this book. It was quite an experience, loved the way the story progressed. The result at the end was so real and possible. Don't miss this one.
Red herrings?
This book caught my attention in the first chapter. From that point on I couldn’t put it down! There are twists and turns that take you off course - a great thing for mystery lovers! Timely and scary too!

Page turner - 5.0 out of 5 stars
This book was a real page turner. I read at night until I am sleepy. This book was hard to put down. I just ordered another book from this author.
Just read and think.
Great reading. Terrifying plot. Highly recommended.
A gripping summer read
The book pulls you in from the first chapter - with an instance of a ‘clinical error’ resulting in chilling consequences - and holds on to you until the final pages.

Could this really happen?
Does Egerton have his mind on the future? Could our genes be so engineered as to save lives in specific ways? It seems so! There are a lot of twists to this tale of a medical student who is often in the right place at the right, and wrong, time. A fun read that keeps you guessing!
5 stars and I loved it!
I truly enjoyed this novel. The premise is quite scary. The characters were well developed and it kept my attention all the way through.
Clinical Options
Clinical Options was very well written book and most enjoyable reading. Highly recommended.

I Really Enjoyed Clinical Deception - 5.0 out of 5 stars
I enjoyed reading this book a lot. The plot was fascinating. It was especially interesting for me to read because I am very familiar with the setting in Austin, and it was fun picturing the action. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a good mystery with some very interesting twists. And Coyote Glen Estates sounds like a very mysterious neighborhood.
A thriller
I really enjoyed this read. An edge of the seat hard to put downer. I like this author very much.
A terrific read
You will find that you cannot put the book down. The story plays out well and you will find that many things you do not find out until the end...

Kept me guessing - 5.0 out of 5 stars
The story was frightening, but I enjoyed reading it anyway because I wanted to know what was going to happen next! It is a really good mystery that I am afraid could be as much truth as fiction. It is a very entertaining book. Read it!
On the edge of my seat
I was hooked from the first chapter! I could not put this book down- in fact I read it in two days!! Thank goodness I was taking a mini vacation! Egreton does an excellent job of blending the medical with the thriller. I love this kind of book and you will too! . I am waiting for a sequel!
Good read
this book was a good read, similar style to Robin Cook.

Great medical thriller! - 5.0 out of 5 stars
I truly enjoyed this medical mystery thriller. There was enough "medical" in it to make it exciting for those who work in medicine or simply enjoy the excitement of a good medical whodunit.
I'll be looking for more from this talented author!
Frightening but good!
I was so curious to know what would happen next that I finished this book quickly! I really enjoyed reading it. It was intriguing and scary. I liked the way the story ended. I liked the twist.
If You Liked "The Firm" You Should Like "Clinical Judgment"
This book reminded me of Grisham's "The Firm." The rapid pace, plot twists, closed-in feeling of an institution (a hospital here, a law firm in Grisham's book), a husband and wife caught up in something dangerous and not understood, all are similarities. Mr. Egerton writes well and certainly knows how to craft a page-turner. Definitely recommended.
