I listened to the audiobook of Cell (read by my favorite- George Guidall) and enjoyed it. Cook has brought back George Wilson, a radiology resident, who has appeared in previous books. At last it seems like things are going well for George. He has fallen in love with Kasey, whom he met when she was volunteering at the pediatric department of George's clinic. Kasey was busy working on her graduate degree in child psychology. Ah, but not too busy to fall in love with George! And now they are engaged. Tragedy strikes in the middle of the night when Kasey wakes up in a sweat and knows immediately that it is her type 1 diabetes that is out of whack. She is going to call her new doctor, who was always available, on her way to get some sugar in her system. But the symptoms worsened so quickly that she didn't have a chance to even wake up George who was next to her in bed. A few months later he finds out that Kasey was part of a beta test for iDoc - the doctor who was always on call as long as you had your smartphone with you. When several of his patients die after imaging procedures he becomes very suspicious - because they were also part of that study. It's a 'normal' Robin Cook book - fast-paced and one that makes you think "that could really happen" as shivers go down your spine.
