In this debut from Judy Foreman, she looks at the ethics of genetic manipulation. "Dr. Saul Kramer is a well-known IVF doctor in Boston. Several babies from his practice die of a rare genetic disease. A reporter, Sammie Fuller, makes the connection to Dr. Kramer and his lab and now he's on trial fro murder." There's a lot going on in this book. Foreman touches on a lot of different topics - gene manipulation, #metoo movement, abortion rights and even Nazis. Kramer is a briliant doctor with some serious mental health issues. It's a dangerous combination. The book starts out in the courtroom so you think it's going to be a courtroom drama but it becomes something different. There's a lot of backstory with Dr. Kramer and the reporter, Sammie. There's also a lot of science - much of it unecessary to the story. (two pages of protein sequences?) The bones to be a great story are there but it never quite reaches that level. It's still okay and if you love science-y books you should enjoy this one. #crisprd #judyforeman #coriolisco #medicalthriller #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #readinglife #bookwormlife #sodacityreads #bookworm #suspensebook #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #homelibrary #thrillerbooks #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller #characterdrivenbooks #mysterythriller #bookrecs (at Surfside Beach, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChFlj4qApGX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
