It Could Happen

I got this ARC via audiobook boom and this is my voluntary review. This story could have been plucked from the headlines of our lives right now. How often do we see corruption in the name of power and money cause such scandals? And how many people who have only been doing their jobs been jailed for something they did not do? How many people with power have seduced others to their way of thinking because they were afraid for their jobs? How often have politicians cheated regular people? This story had all of this and more.The narrator was good and fit the story.

Delightfully Scarey

My first impression was that I was not going to enjoy this book - proving that first impression can be SO WRONG! This book made me desperately look for some extra earbud time until I finished it (in 2 days). It had corruption, intrigue, plot twists, characters you had to love and those you loved to hate, it had it all! The scary part was thinking - this could really happen!

Hard to put down.

I found this book hard to put down. It draws you in and keeps you engaged throughout. I think the characters were interesting and well-developed. I really like the whole "medical mystery" genre, and this book is scary in that it could very well be true. I listened to the Audible audio edition narrated by Samuel Hoke. I thought his narration was good and easy to listen to. I really liked this book and am looking forward to another in the series.

Fascinating and Compelling

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

The story which resonates and struck a cord with me, along with the unique cast of characters which made it a brilliant masterpiece. Great narration too!

Intriguing possibilities

I have mixed feelings about Pharmaceutical.

I liked the premise of the story. It was very intriguing with horrid possibilities as a few play god with a portion of society.

This book had me hooked from the beginning drawing me in with smart characters that were well written. Then the story abruptly ends with no real finish. In fact I had to re-listen to the last couple chapters thinking I had missed something. When I realized I didn't I was disappointed.

Hoke was okay as a narrator. There was not much distinction of characters, making you had to listen closely and he had pauses in sentences that felt odd.
