Hope Sze Medical Mystery #3
Terminally Ill: Library Edition
An escape artist plunges into the icy waters of Montreal's St. Lawrence River, chained and nailed into a coffin-and never breaks free. After they dredge him from the waves, Dr. Hope Sze resuscitates him, saving his life. When he regains consciousness, but not his memory of the event, he hires Hope to deduce who sabotaged his act. Even as she probes the case, and the strange world of magic and illusion, she must confront her own fears of death on the palliative care ward-and tackle the two toothsome men who can't wait for her to choose between them.

I'm sorry but i had another book to read and the review is late. So, i actually liked the book, despite the fact that this is not my genre of books. So, Hope. Does she move to Ottawa? She's a brave woman. Fights bad guys, saves peoples' life. Great character, after all. Elvis? I didn't really like him. I didn't like his brother, too :D and the rest of the "crew". Ryan? I haven't read the other books but i guess he's a good boyfriend. Tucker? Well, he is annoying as the annoying orange. I would love to continue my review but it would contain spoilers. So, i'm going to end it here. I really liked the book and reccomend it.

This was a fun novel with a combined sense of frenetic fun, mystery and intrigue. The multiple plot-lines and complexity of Hope Sze's personal relationships, family relationships and work relationships intertwine in a unique and fulfilling way.
While Hope Sze contemplates the world of magic with a critical eye towards solving the attempted murder of an escape artist, Yi works her own sense of magic in creating inter-layered storylines that beautifully come together at the end.

Be prepared for a good dose of sassy, blood, and humor!
Okay, truth be told, Melissa Yi is one of my favorite authors! Reading terminally ill is an incredible journey in the world of medicine, police work, and the complex world of relationships. If you plan to read a “Dr Sassy” novel, be prepared for an incredible story compelling you to read the book until the very last letter!
A true must read!

Didn't like it as much as the others, and took me almost 2 months to get through. (Granted our life has been turned upside down at the moment).
On to other books now :)

A fun, easy medical mystery or two with the magic of Houdini thrown in.
