GoodBookStall Review:
This is another book from The Prescription for Trouble Series, and again full of suspense with a little romance thrown in. Still set in a medical environment but that would be expected due to the author’s profession and the series format. Mabry has not over jargonised the book nor made the story unrealistic.
This is the second book by Mabry I have read and it has left me guessing all the way through which I like. As the previous book I reviewed in this series, Medical Error this book was quick to read although 302 pages long. The chapters were broken up by scene breaks which I find handy especially if I’m really tired or short on time and I can’t indulge in a full chapter.
There are references in this book to racial prejudices towards the lead character for being Hispanic and her colleague who is black which I find sad that this is still a part of the American society especially in Texas and Mabry is using the book to illustrate that racism still exists in the US. Maybe a topic for prayer.
If this book was to be read in a book club there are some interesting discussion questions at the end.
Again a good read and I would definitely read more of Mabry’s stuff.
