Late to the party, I had yet to watch any adaptations or read beyond the headlines when I downloaded this audiobook. Read by the author, this account layers the various accounts from his reporting for WSJ and, toward the end, provides insight into his own encounters with Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes as the fraud began to unravel. Helpful in providing detailed context to what I already knew broadly regarding the biotechnology startup, I appreciate Carreyrou's refusal to speculate wildly about motivations, but am still left wondering how exactly Holmes rationalized her behavior and how she expected to pull it off.

Filled in some gaps left by the tv show and was clearly well researched.
