Abby de Mateo is a second year resident at a big Boston hospital.She is very excited to be offered a place on the cardiac transplantation team and has a bright future ahead of her. But Abby soon realises that something is terribly wrong with the transplant team. Heart transplants don't always seem to be going to the most deserving patients and there is a mystery over where some donor hearts are being collected. When she starts to investigate she finds a conspiracy against her and is not even sure if she can even trust her boyfriend, Mark, himself a member of the transplant team.
A gripping, dark medical thriller with some gruesome moments. Highly recommended to all lovers of psychological thrillers!

Sounds exciting. I'm a little surprised the author avoided a heart-related pun in the title.

Indeed! So many that we could suggest ...
Hi, fellow Carolyn reader. :) It is the Canadian Carolyn! I dislike thrillers, preferring mysterious, non-crime mysteries by far. However, the pace kept me interested until the end. It couldn't be more cliché than the protagonist ending up on the chopping block. My main problem with the thriller sub-genre, besides violence, is that their authors prioritize twists (like the identies of villains involved), instead of ensuring that a story remains believeable and solid.
Hi Canadian Carolyn (I'm an Aussie one). I would have to agree that I'm getting a bit tired of thrillers where the MC ends up on the chopping block or the detective or their children becomes the next victim of the serial killer (but is always saved at the last minute). It's a lazy device when a little imagination could make a better, more believable story.
Yes, I have seen you around for years. Some of my dear friends are Australians and New Zealanders, places I would love to visit someday. And of course, I notice we share our name.I think variety is good for us all, so it is nice that you have tired of the formulaic thriller and that I am dipping a toe into it occasionally. Let's see what we say on your other reviews I visited last night. :)
I was spellbound. I love it.
