This is the latest novel in the authoress Cara Putman´s series about young female lawyers and it covers Caroline Bragg´s romance with Brandon Lancaster as well as her works as a legal counsel for research lab Praecursoria. Praecursoria´s work in the field of genetic therapies is very inspirative and can bring much needed hope into the lives of the cancer patients and their families - but might there be some darkness lurking in these new scientific waters? Caroline Bragg seems to be the only one asking the questions...and she can not even talk about them with Brandon, who is one of the investors in Praecursoria, as this would be the breach of the professional ethics. Brandon has his own issues as the state regulations are afflicting his work as a founder of the group foster care home for children.
Ah...while I loved the previous installments, here I have mixed feelings. While I sure do not understand the medicine ethics and rules, I find the whole setup of figuring what goes on here really speculative. So the medical professionals have questions, they start to die and no one (other than a lawyer of all people) would bat an eyelash? How about the police investigating - I´d say that the deaths around one institution would make somebody start to ask questions...Also the perpetrator here is quite unconvincingly written, as I am missing believable psychology behind his behaviour.
As for the romantic line - it is very strong here. The story is quite sweet! Yet - the base of trust here is problematic. I believe that the issue between them is a small thing - but if it can cause such an emotional distress, how can they manage a life together when much more serious issues will emerge (and they will)?
