This is another great medical thriller by Tess Gerritsen.

Excellent

Tess did an excellent job on this book. Lots of twists & turns up to the last chapter wondering if the bad guys were going to get away with it. This book combines a couple of story line totally unrelated but much related.

I couldn't stop listening.

interesting storyline. I really enjoyed it and was disappointed when it was over. I wanted more!

Thrilling

Tess Garrison's first thriller and its amazing, love it couldn't stop hearing it the plot is revitting and unpredictable. The narrator was excellent most of the books I heard are read by women so I was a little weary about having a man read but he too was amazing. Love it.

Exceptional!

Could not put it down. could not come close to guessing the plot are much less than ending.

Amazing medical mystery

Fast moving plot but understandable. I highly recommend this book for mystery lovers. Unable to stop listening

Not as good as later medical thrillers

The medical idea explained at the end of the book is intriguing, but the book is only fair. It took longer to get into than usual, and remembering all the characters was difficult. The narration was okay. But there was a moral: always check a person’s references by seeing a photo of them.

The second time around was just as good.

For me, a book is a continuing experience. And the books by Tess Gerritsen are so intense and with such good plots that one listening is not enough. I usually put a book aside for a month, even a year and then one evening, when I feel the need for entertainment, I go to my library on Audible and choose a book by one of my favorite authors and listen again. There are things I missed the first time around that I notice on second listening. I love these surprises. George Guidall is not just a narrator of books. He is a performer of the story. He makes both the male and female roles come to life. Thank you Audible for allowing us to have such high quality experiences when we order a book.
