Melissa Yi is nominated for Best Crime Short Story and Best Juvenile / YA Crime Book sponsored by Superior Shores Press.
Melissa could slice your throat and sew it back up again. Legally. Because she’s an emergency doctor. In her spare minutes, Melissa writes the Hope Sze medical crime series, which Ellery Queen praised for its “nitty-gritty” description and Publishers Weekly for its “darker themes … entertaining and insightful.” The Globe and Mail praises her as a “standout,” having written a best Canadian suspense novel.
Melissa’s mystery stories were finalists for the Award of Excellence (best crime story in Canada) and the Derringer Award (best crime story in the English language) and longlisted for the Staunch Prize (best feminist thriller worldwide).
