About this listen

From the bestselling author and "master of the medical thriller" (The New York Times), Robin Cook, comes a new tale of suspense-horror about a first-year resident whose life-shattering visions reveal the truth behind some of the greatest medical advances in the history of medicine.

Twenty-three-year-old Michael “Mitt” Fuller starts his surgical residency with great anticipation at the nearly three-hundred-year-old, iconic Bellevue Hospital, following in the footsteps of four previous, celebrated Fuller generations. The pressure is on for this newly minted doctor, and to his advantage he’s always had a secret sixth sense, a sensitivity to the nonphysical. But quickly one patient after another assigned to his care begin to die from mysterious causes. As he tries to juggle these inexplicable deaths with the demands of being a first-year resident, things rapidly spiral out of control.

Visions begin to plague Mitt—visions of a little girl in a bloodstained dress, bloodcurdling screams in the distance, and worse. As bodies mount and Mitt’s stress level rises, he finds himself drawn to the monumental, abandoned Bellevue Psychopathic Hospital building, which to his astonishment has somehow defied the wrecking-ball and still stands a few doors north of the modern Bellevue Hospital high-rise. Forcing an unauthorized entry into this storied but foreboding structure, Mitt discovers he’s more closely tied to the sins of the past than he ever thought possible.

Critic reviews

"[Bellevue] is more Gothic than Cook’s usual fare, more horror-adjacent than most of his books... Cook’s loyal fans will surely enjoy it." —Booklist

"Robin Cook is at the top of his game. Bellevue is a nonstop thrill ride from the first page until the last. A must read for anyone who loves a gripping medical thriller with a supernatural twist. The ending left me shook, and I'm still haunted days later!" —#1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden

Chilling

Accurate descriptions of the tension experienced by first year surgical residents and the possibly deserved arrogance of many surgeons. Thank goodness there are more well meaning caring surgeons and or staff in our world of medicine.

Just a bad ending with no answer

So sorry you had me for the whole story until the ending. It’s just impossible, and how could they end it like that. Shame.

Unsatisfying ending

It was intriguing at first, but the conclusion of the book was abrupt and very unsatisfying. There seemed to be better ways to end the book on a more positive note, instead, the end just was weird.

My Least Favorite Robin Cook Read

This was much different than ost books written by Dr.Cook. I'm not a fan of paranormal and thus this was my least favorite read by Dr Cook. I've read them all.

Not your typical Robin Cook

This is certainly a new direction for Robin Cook. I liked it, but I think it was best to appreciate it outside of the expectations you have if you're a fan of his work. The medical detail and precision is all still there, but yes, it is a ghost story. Authors should be allowed to stretch themselves and go in new directions, so I applaud him for being willing to break the mold.

Different but excellent

I was skeptical about this book because of the other reviews on it, but the cover and the title drew me in, in addition to the author being Robin cook. I was pleasantly surprised. The narrator was excellent and o really liked the story. I was kind of disappointed that it ended because it was so good.

Very simplistic

This novel was reminiscent of a B horror flick. there was not really any good character development. it is definitely not Robin Cook’s best work.

WOW

I liked the story a lot. The ending was a shock but real because it showed how dangerous obsession can be.

Gateway to paranormal

The ending is a shocker. The story is good but not great. It is somewhat scary but won’t bring nightmares. I grew up in NYC / The Bronx. We always thought of Bellevue as “the nut house”. This story is nutty but engrossing.
