    About this audiobook

    Meet Caroline Auden. The closer she gets to justice, the further she gets from the law.

    When Caroline Auden lands a job at a top Los Angeles law firm, she’s excited for the challenge—and grateful for the chance to put her dark past as a computer hacker behind her. Right away, her new boss asks her to find out whether a popular GMO causes healthy people to fall ill. Caroline is only supposed to dig in the trenches and report up the ladder, but her tech background and intuition take her further than planned. When she suspects a link between the death of a prominent scientist and the shadowy biotech giant, she cries foul and soon finds herself in the crosshairs. The clock is ticking and thousands of lives are on the line…including her own.

    Now this rookie lawyer with a troubled past and a penchant for hacking must prove a billion-dollar company is responsible for thousands of deaths…before they come after her.

      Good beginning, then it got ridiculous
    • 3/5
      This story has plenty of suspense and a likable lead. If you don't worry too much about everything connecting in a logical way, it's entertaining.

      Ms Tobisman might be an accomplished lawyer but she is no scientist and she knows little about soybeans. In this book she is relying on the readers not knowing anything about scientific publishing.The mistake that kills the book is that unlike articles published in legal journals, science articles must be peer reviewed to be accepted and published. The "Fielding Journal of Molecular Cell Biology" would never have agreed to publish the article without peer review, regardless of how activist they might be. Ms Tobisman brings up peer review on page 104 (of the ARC) but does not focus on the implications of this requirement. Dr. Heller trained as a plastic surgeon. He has no credentials whatsoever in genetics or research or the very complex computer modeling that is needed for this kind of work. Even if he could somehow get himself named Research Director for this project, he would have needed Dr. Wong and a host of other assistants to do this work. He could never ever have drafted the article himself, he did not have the chops.Supposing Dr. Heller were Research Director, he did not work in an intellectual vacuum. In science, the paper is the end of a long road, not something that springs directly from the scholar's pen. An article must be backed up by research records stretching back years. Normally Dr. Heller and his team would present ongoing work at conferences and exchange formal and informal research notes with members of the scientific community. Today there is a strong push to post research data online where they can be reviewed and used by colleagues. This is especially true of genetics data which are commonly posted on moderated wiki-like web sites for other scientists to see and even edit. I have a geneticist friend who sets up these websites.Lets move on to soy.Nearly all soybeans in the USA are already GMO. The only significant amounts of non-GMO soybeans are those in organic cultivation. Roundup Ready Soybeans have incorporated genes from a geranium, Ms Tobisman's SuperSoy has genes from jellyfish and we are to believe that these jellyfish genes are suspect. OK, let's go with that.Thirty years of research has not shown any conclusive link between Roundup Ready soybeans and health problems in humans or animals. We are to believe that somehow either SuperSoy is super dangerous or that Dr. Heller and his team have developed a research protocol that identified the danger in SuperSoy in a tiny sample of humans. Suppose SuperSoy were super dangerous. Soy and soy protein are used in millions of products. Human food is one of the least important products, animal feeds one of the most important. While there are metabolic differences between humans and animals, humans share many metabolic and physiological pathways with various animals which is why we can do animal studies. If SuperSoy were dangerous to humans it would be dangerous to some animals too. There is no possibility that SuperSoy is the cause of any problems that appear only in humans. There is no animal damage reported in the book.Suppose Dr. Heller's team have developed a new research protocol. Such a protocol would be more valuable than anything talked about in this book. Science needs rapid safety screening protocols more than anything else because safety testing is very time consuming and expensive, not to mention dangerous to the animals and human trial subjects.Suppose it is only these nutrient drinks are causing damage. These drinks have other ingredients in addition to SuperSoy and are manufactured products. If these drinks are indeed dangerous, then there are many other possible causes and the legal case which forms the basis for this book could not exist.I received a review copy of "Doubt: Caroline Auden Book 1" by C. E. Tobisman (Thomas & Mercer) through NetGalley.com.
    • 3/5
      Good, nothing really special. I was surprised at the ending, but not jaw-dropping surprised. I didn't like it enough to buy the next in the series, but I would read it for free.
    • 3/5
      This is very similar to John grisham's courtroom dramas, like The Firm, but not as well written. There was a twist at the end I didn't see coming.
