An interesting concept but the mystery wasn’t so thrilling.

This book is largely based around the fact that bacteria is becoming resistant to antibiotics at an alarming rate. This is a real problem and it’s good to see a book that sheds light on the issue. The story is well researched and gives you a real insight as to what the future might look like if we don’t tackle this issue.

The story itself is centered around an adopted child as they look for their mother. In doing so we see multiple parts of the story slowly fit together and it creates a satisfying ending. My main issue with the book was that nothing was particularly memorable, the characters were quite bland, the story felt like it was going through the motions. Everything was good, nothing was great.
