"A promising sleuth and reams of medical knowledge." -- Kirkus Review
"I've read hospital mysteries a-plenty. What makes this one stand out is the dry tone, the brisk pace, the wry humor, the psychopathology of the stoic Sternbergs and the Lafayettes, two medical dynasties." -- The Poisoned Pen
"Its medical verisimilitude and appealing heroine add enough promise to look out for future installments." -- The Baltimore Sun
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....
