Excellent read

It has been said that the scariest words in the English language are: We're from the government, and we're here to help. That has never been more true than in this medical thriller concerning Pap testing and cancer screening. Sophie, the heroine, is a tango-dancing pathologist who discovers an overly ambitious doctor working with complacent regulators and ill-informed legislators to push through testing techniques that lead to higher profits at the expense of patient safety. At great personal risk to herself, Sophie takes him, persevering through snowstorms, death threats and more to champion women's health over careerism. I listened to the audiobook, which was narrated by the author. Normally, I prefer a professional narrator, but in this case, the author reads her work with such clarity, precision and emotion that I honestly don't think a professional was needed. Recommended.

A true medical mystery novel!

From a line in this book, “One would think that the world of Pap testing is a boring little obscure field of medicine, but with all the intrigue and new developments and regulations, it’s anything but!”

Sonya Naryshkin has a way of writing that keeps the reader in suspense – a true medical mystery novel. For non-medically trained readers, it is a look into the inner life of pathology laboratories, both day to day and political doings concerning patient safety. The narration was excellent and easy to follow the conversations. The colorful descriptions put the listener in the laboratory or tango hall.

You’ll be amazed!
