A Mingled Yarn (Sasha McCandless 7.5) by Melissa F. Miller

 Just finished this novella after closing the pages of the previous book earlier today and I have to say that this has been the only totally false note in the series so far. My issue has to do with the pregnancy and this fallacy that Sasha would not have had an ultrasound because, of all things, something about it causing miscarriage. As a long time nurse, not only is this patently inaccurate, but it sort of ruined the story. Come on. Used for decades and mostly standard first trimester screening in any clinical obstetric practice, an ultrasound (sonogram) is not going to harm a pregnancy. Generally speaking, most healthy pregnant women have at least two — one in the first trimester and one at around 18-22 weeks. Why Sasha, supposedly an intelligent woman would neglect this or have those misconceptions, did not make sense. Everyone already guessed about her situation. 


Anyway, I hope to get over this and move on.

Part of a series, do not read out of order. Or just skip it. 

Genre - part of legal thriller series but a novella.
