The doctor tending to her mother was Dr. Joe Adams, who was far from Diane’s idea of the family doctor. He had been alone since his first wife had died, and was apparently heaven-sent as a mate for Diane, if she could only get past the trauma of her previous near-miss at the altar.
The heart problem
was hard to solve initially, the subsequent difficulty turned out to be murder, and affected the lives of both Diane and Joe.
Dr. Richard Mabry is a retired physician, now writing “medical mysteries with heart.” In addition to his medical books, he is the author of one non-fiction book, several novellas, and thirteen published novels. His novels have been finalists for the Carol Award, the Inspirational Reader’s Choice Award, the Reviewer’s Choice Award, the Selah Award, and others.
He and his wife live in north Texas. In addition to regular efforts (thus far unsuccessful) to improve his golf game, he spends much of his time trying to convince his family that sitting at his desk staring into space does indeed represent work.

Author Richard L. Mabry, M.D. publishes medical
suspense with a cutting edge and a solid faith-
based message that draws one in rather than
driving one
away. His latest release, MEDICAL MYSTERY,
is no
exception.
Diane is an Emergency Room nurse who, up to this
point, has managed to keep a professional distance. Until her mother
begins to experience increasing episodes of heart-related incidents. As
her mother's condition becomes increasingly serious, the lines between family
and profession become blurred, and Diane is sometimes confused as to which hat
she needs to wear at a particular time.
Which is why Dr. Joe Adams is such a welcome
addition to the equation. Recently widowed, Joe has decided that it's
time to rejoin the land of the living, and has set his sights on Diane.
Since Diane's mother is also his patient, the situation seems to be
Providential, to say the least. And with the added stress of Diane's
sister, brother-in-law, and ex-fiance dropping in at most inopportune times,
Dr. Adams also serves as a much-needed harbor to help Diane weather the storms
that life is bringing at this point in her life.
I really enjoy Dr. Mabry "pulling the
curtain back" on the medical profession, in an entirely appropriate
manner. Letting the reader in on some of the "medical jargon" that
doesn't show up in the medical dictionaries serves to bridge the gap between
the layman and the professional, without compromising the necessary
doctor/client relationship.
And no Dr. Mabry novel would be complete without
his usual plot twists. Just when you think you know whodunnit . . .
I received a free copy of this book in exchange
for my honest review.
