About this listen

In this mystery by CWA Diamond Dagger winner Catherine Aird, Detective Inspector C. D. Sloan investigates a case of medical malpractice that looks a bit too much like foul play

Muriel Ethel Galloway passed away at home, twitching and grasping at objects only she could see. Her family mourns, sad but unsurprised that an old woman suffering from heart disease should die suddenly. But when Mrs. Galloway's son receives an anonymous call alerting him that his mother's life was put in jeopardy by her doctors, he demands action from the Calleshire police.

As world-weary detective C. D. Sloan learns, Mrs. Galloway's passing was just one in a string of eerily similar deaths. Dozens of elderly patients suffering from heart disease have been "gently pushed" toward taking part in the Cardigan Protocol, a double-blind drug trial from the powerful pharmaceutical company Gilroy's. Something, it seems, is very wrong.

But what might have been a simple malpractice case morphs into something much more complex when the doctor in charge of the trials goes missing and the headquarters of Gilroy's is burgled by animal rights activists. As Detective Sloan well knows, murder is never a simple matter.

Was a book I could sit and listen too and I enjoyed it. I would take a chance on it.

I liked it

I enjoy Aird’s oeuvre overall, and this reader is excellent. Some of her books I find more appealing than others. For some reason I found my mind wandering when listening to this one. The secondary characters failed to grab much of my interest maybe? The plot generally seemed both convoluted and a little dull. But it was a perfectly okay example of Aird’s work.

Pleasant

Love this series. A couple I’ve not enjoyed the subject matter of, just a personal preference, but most are very satisfying.

Another great one!
