“CHANGE OF HEART is a dark and twisted medical thriller that moves at breakneck speed and will
keep you up well past midnight.?

“Medical thriller enthusiasts will find Cristina LePort’s Change of Heart the perfect ticket for a thoroughly absorbing read. Its foundations in the medical world are cemented by the author’s medical degree and familiarity with the world of medicine and its politics. More than a story of the usual detective work or investigative efforts, however, Change of Heart incorporates elements of romance, ethical issues that challenge the characters in unexpected ways, and cybercriminal encounters. These contribute to character development and action that contrasts nicely with other genre reads, raising the bar for the medical thriller as a whole by cementing character challenges with questions that arise in the course of making life-supporting decisions… Having the mystery so thoroughly embedded in background particular to Dr. LePort’s career as a cardiologist lends the entire effort an authenticity not to be found in the usual medical thriller genre. The action is solid and nonstop, characters are believable and well-drawn, and the supporting underlying moral and ethical quandaries lend excellent tension to the story, which develops many twists and turns readers won’t see coming. Libraries seeking medical thrillers more than a cut above the usual will find Change of Heart an outstanding exploration of hospital politics, medical challenges, and mystery that lends equally well to book club recommendation and discussion groups.”
