About this ebook

Selected as one of the great must-read mysteries of the summer by Canada’s national book show, CBC Radio’s The Next Chapter

A dead man in the snow shatters Dr. Hope Sze’s peaceful month of research at an Ottawa stem cell lab.
Hope discovers that one man’s body leads to a series of corpses, both at home and around the globe.
This time, the killer knows no borders and no conscience.
Hope must extricate them all, while caught between the man who saved her life, the man who helps rebuild it, and a killer on an intercontinental rampage.

“Wonderful characters and plot."—Richard King, CBC Radio’s Homerun

“Human Remains strikes straight at the heart of today’s most controversial and moving issues, through the hothouse world of big-bucks medical research. Impressive and complex. This is good stuff. Big stuff.” —Richard Quarry, Author of Midnight Choir

“Drawing on her personal experiences in the ER in Canada, Dr. Melissa Yi has created medical thrillers that shine with authenticity and are impossible to put down.” —Kris Nelscott, New York Times bestseller

“When I last wrote about Melissa Yi’s wonderful character Dr. Hope Sze, she was in dire circumstances in Stockholm Syndrome. The aftermath of this has resulted in PTSD.
Currently living in Ottawa, Sze is set for a rotation at a lab for stem cell research. Scoping out the lab the evening before her first work day, she finds a body in the snow. The murdered man is Dr. Acayo, a recent addition to the personnel.
The research lab has an interesting mix of characters, from the imperious to the sullen, and the over enthusiastic. Sze must carefully navigate these personalities as there is something else happening there. It’s a deep, disturbing undercurrent that works on Sze’s vulnerability.
As she strives to deal with her trauma, Sze continues to be torn between the two loves of her life, Tucker and Ryan. Changes are coming and she may be too fragile to manage them.
Melissa Yi is a talented writer and this 5th offering in the Hope Sze Medical Crime Novels has her on firm ground.” —June Lorraine, Murder in Common

Not available kindle unlimited, got it through one of my free book sites, one of those amazon says when received ARC or per copy should say got free, no payment, yada yada. Noticed a couple of reviews that said should have been more 'medical' but don't see how, because most people wouldn't understand the terms so would just gloss over them. I think the writer did a good balancing act overall, although yes a few places could have been just a bit tighter possibly but all I have to write is a review of what someone else wrote, and anyone can tell don't have more than bare bones framed idea what all to write spoiler free, look to the stars/rating.by Melissa Yi MD (Author), Melissa Yuan-Innes (Author) Code Blues (Hope Sze medical mystery Book 1) - Notorious D.O.C.
