Harvest

By: Tess Gerritsen

Narrated by: George Guidall

In this harrowing medical thriller filled with suspense and brilliantly crafted twists, Tess Gerritsen—the author of the acclaimed Rizzoli & Isles series that inspired the hit television show—delivers a pulse-pounding tale that “will make your heart skip a beat” (USA TODAY).

For Dr. Abby DiMatteo, the long road to Boston’s Bayside Hospital has been anything but easy. Now, immersed in the grinding fatigue of her second year as a surgical resident, she’s elated when the hospital’s elite cardiac transplant team taps her as a potential recruit.

But Abby soon makes an anguished, crucial decision that jeopardizes her entire career. A car crash victim’s healthy heart is ready to be harvested; it is immediately cross-matched to a wealthy private patient, Nina Voss. Abby hatches a bold plan to make sure that the transplant goes instead to a dying seventeen-year-old boy who is also a perfect match.

The repercussions are powerful and swift and Abby is shaken but unrepentant—until she meets the frail, tormented Nina. Then a new heart for Nina Voss suddenly appears, her transplant is completed, and Abby makes a terrible discovery: Nina’s heart has not come through the proper channels.

Defying Bayside Hospital’s demands for silence, Abby plunges into an investigation that reveals an intricate, and murderous, chain of deceptions. Every move Abby makes spawns a vicious backlash and, in a ship anchored in the stagnant waters of Boston Harbor, a final, grisly discovery lies waiting…

very timely and well written

I enjoyed this book immensely - great story line, enjoyed George Guidall's reading of this story, very timely subject and just a very entertaining captivating and great book.

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.

This was a great book

A really good story line. Great narrator. A bit of a surprise ending! highly recommend.
