Dr. Jacey Flanigan has worked tirelessly to achieve her dream of becoming a pediatric cardiologist. But when she moves to Manhattan to begin her career at a prestigious children's hospital, she discovers that the medical profession may not be what she expected.

An encounter with an arrogant heart surgeon on her first day sets the tone for what's to come - a world of enigmatic physician behavior and questionable cardiac surgical practices cloaked in secrecy.

As she navigates this new world, Jacey finds herself facing a difficult moral dilemma: turn a blind eye to malpractice and protect her fledgling career, or risk everything by delving deeper into suspicious activity.

With deadly secrets and unexpected consequences lurking around every corner, Jacey must decide whether to stay silent or speak up, even if it means putting everything on the line—including her life.

I enjoyed the med medically base story. The use of different voices for characters by the narrator was a little difficult at times.

The plot was interesting, and held my attention. Subject matter was appropriate for today’s society.

I found this audiobook's story quite engaging, but the narration was so annoying that I constantly checked how much I had left because I did not connect with the narrator. The way she changed her voice for the male characters vacillated between someone dying and Thurston Howell (for those old enough to recognize the reference). The female characters sounded like scared children, Paula Deen or a snotty valley girl. One was worse than the next. I would READ a Gary Birken, MD book again, but I would never listen to one with this narrator again. It would have been a more pleasant experience if she had just used her regular voice.

Great Story, Narrator Not So Much

Loved it

This narrator was absolutely awful at mimicking male voices (cringeworthy) the reason for the deaths of the children and the conclusion did not really match. The build up of suspicious deaths was not really explained in the conclusion, only the reason for fast recovery. All in all, it was an ok listen aside from the narration.

Awful narrator wierd ending

The voices for men threw me off because everyone sounded really old, but the story was really good! It had a happy ending too, which I really like in a story.

I have really enjoyed his other books. This one was just blah.
I’m sending it back

Not so much a mystery

The storyline was very good and it moved at a good pace. My only critique was the readers attempt at a masculine voice for some of the characters. Overall, it is a perfect listen.

Very interesting medical mystery
