BestThrillers.com Rates the Madhouse, ‘One of the Year’s Best Thrillers’

Best Thrillers has called The Madhouse, Dr. Lawrence Matrick’s new book, “one of the year’s best thrillers” for 2019.

Best Thrillers goes on to write that The Madhouse is “a gritty tour-de-force medical thriller that showcases both the wonders and horror of 20th-century medicine.

The Madhouse is the story of New Orleans native Alex Gage, who struggles out of poverty to become not only a respected psychiatrist, but also an aspiring reformist. The story begins in the deep south as Alex is born with a clubfoot that keeps him from being drafted (it would be surgically repaired later in life). Despite his ascension to higher learning, he finds himself working as a physician in a Canadian mental institution – a nightmarish shop of horrors that would make Dante reconsider his definition of hell.”

High Praise for the The Quisling from Thriller Website

The Quisling received a glowing review from the Best Thrillers website (posted today).

“In an era where thrillers about Latin American drug cartels are all the rage, Lawrence Matrick’s novel is distinguished by its depth and highly illustrative prose. Compared to an overstuffed epic like George R. Martin’s Game of Thrones, The Quisling is relatively light fare, but it’s hefty compared to many contemporary action thrillers. Keeping track of businessmen, plastic surgeons, lawyers and the others inhabiting this detail-rich world could be taxing, but thankfully, Matrick’s characters do the unexpected more often than not.”
