Excellent murder mystery

This was my first Tess Gerritsen novel. And I loved it! I am a nurse and the details are accurate without going into too much depth so it stayed interesting. I was afraid it might get too gruesome, but she takes you to the edge without going too far. The character development is great and the narrator excellent. You can really visualize what is happening.

Definitely A Great Listen

I do enjoy Tess’ Medical thrillers. She puts just the right amount of medical information without going overboard. I listened to this book twice as I liked the storyline and heroine. The subject matter is an important one, and I’m sure the plot isn’t that far-fetched at all. I highly recommend this book, and you won’t regret downloading or listening. Almost sad it’s over. I wish Tess would release more Medical thrillers as I think I’ve listened to them all.

Not bad

I wasn't thrilled with the narration. Also, if you have a medical background, you will find yourself questioning all sorts of medical decisions, practices and procedures. Good book for a layperson.

Plot is Over the Top, but an Enjoyable Listen

What starts out as a very plausible story line devolves into a rather unimaginable plot. . . but then, isn't that what fiction can/should be? Truthfully, I'd be engaged with any book read by George Guidall. . . love his voice, inflections and perfected pausing and pacing. A believable medical mystery it is not. But a fun listen, it is.

Slow until ending

I found it slow and not very engaging until the last third or less of the book. I’m not sure I’d recommend this book.

Narrator

Loved the book. I did not like that it was read by a man when it was almost all from a woman's perspective.
