Review: Miracle Drug

Image result for miracle drug richard mabry

Miracle Drug by Richard L. Mabry was captivating from beginning to end. This book was in the works before the Ebola scare, but because we did have a deadly, contagious disease in our recent memory, we can remember the anxiety and, therefore, feel for the characters even more since it didn't seem so far-fetched. Plus, it was an edge of the seat kind of book. ;-)

Dr Josh Pearson suddenly becomes the doctor to the former president of the United States after the former doctor died. Awed to be chosen, he immediately gives his new job most of his attention. But when his girlfriend, Rachel Moore, and the president both become deathly ill, Josh has to race the clock to find a cure for them both. Will Josh be able to find a miracle drug before time runs out?

This story was a fast-paced, thrilling read, and I enjoyed the premise of a mystery disease. I liked all the different plots going on at the same time because it added to the suspense and kept me guessing until the end. It was an enthralling story, and I'm sure any suspense fan will love it, too.

I was given this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Review: Critical Condition

Picture

Critical Condition by Richard Mabry, M.D. is a suspense filled story with a host of interesting characters. Medical mysteries are some of my favorite novels to read so I was thrilled to get a chance to review this book!

Dr Shannon Frasier is enjoying some time off with some of her other surgeon friends when a shot is heard outside her house. They all run outside to see how they can help the injured man, but it is too late. All the memories come rushing back to Shannon of another fateful night years ago. Her fiance's death from a gunshot wound, her inability to help him, her fear of guns ever since, and her inability to be in a committed relationship with her boyfriend, Dr. Mark Gilbert.

Then Shannon's sister, Meghan, gets pulled into the mystery when her ex-boyfriend gets killed, too. Will they be able to get out from the scrutiny of the police or will one of them be arrested?

I really enjoy Dr. Mabry's mysteries. They are so well planned and thought out, and I never want to stop reading them. This book is no exception! It reeled me in right  from the beginning and kept get better and better. It wasn't too hard to figure out, but Shannon? She definitely kept me guessing. I wasn't sure if she would stay with her boyfriend or go out with the detective. I liked the uncertainty. :-) If you enjoy suspenseful fiction, you will definitely want to check this book out.
