About this listen

 With her acclaimed novels Harvest and Life Support, Tess Gerritsen has injected a powerful dose of adrenaline into the medical thriller. Now, Gerritsen melds page-turning suspense with chilling realism as a small-town doctor races to unravel the roots of a violent outbreak—before it destroys everything she loves.

Lapped by the gentle waters of Locust Lake, the small resort town of Tranquility, Maine, seems like the perfect spot for Dr. Claire Elliot to shelter her adolescent son, Noah, from the distractions of the big city and the lingering memory of his father's death. But with the first snap of winter comes shocking news that puts her practice on the line: a teenage boy under her care has committed an appalling act of violence. And as Claire and all of Tranquility soon discover, it is just the start of a chain of lethal outbursts among the town's teenagers.

As the rash of disturbing behavior grows, Claire uncovers a horrifying secret: this is not the first time it has happened. Twice a century, the children of Tranquility lash out with deadly violence. Claire suspects that there is a biological cause for the epidemic, and she fears that the placid Locust Lake may conceal an insidious danger. As she races to save Tranquility—and her son—from harm, Claire discovers an even greater threat: a shocking conspiracy to manipulate nature and cause innocents to slaughter.

This is an excellent medical suspense thriller, which really kept me gripped. I tend to listen to audiobooks in bed (too lazy to turn pages whilst I'm trying to doze off) and in this case that was something of a miscalculation because my sub-conscious had obviously worked out something of the plot, which then got into my dreams, and I woke up (coincidentally with a blocked nose... but I don't want to give too much away) yelling in panic! So, in my humble opinion, well worth a listen, but perhaps not late at night unless you want to wake the whole street.

Scared the snot out of me!

The story was a little bit incredible. The mother/son thing was overplayed, but despite that it was enjoyable.
The discovered/uncovered organism was a little bit hard to believe but it was entertaining.

Entertaining enough.
