Written by a practicing doctor, The Cure For Remembering is a fast-paced mystery that pulls back the curtain on life at a busy hospital--the overworked nurses, cocksure surgeons, and patients bewildered by the bureaucracy.
When her great aunt, a retired nurse, dies unexpectedly after routine surgery, Dr. Nora Sternberg turns sleuth. Amid a brewing scandal over missing narcotics, she uncovers a sinister plot involving retired doctors and nurses--and a shocking family secret.
As Nora collects her clues, we meet the Sternbergs, Nora's "stoic" family; her colleagues-in-arms Jessica and Celine; and all the people who Nora, ever the doctor, thinks of in medical terms--like the handsome physician whose looks are marred by the nervous tic of his periorbital muscles.
Add to that the medical conference on bowel disorders, complete with catered lunch; Nora's devoted but ever-absent husband; and "Mother Lafayette"--the perpetually under-construction hospital--and Nora's world charms readers even as she uncovers its murderous secrets.
Anyone who has ever navigated a hospital's corridors--or politics--will enjoy this witty medical mystery. |
