“Medical Judgment” by Richard Mabry, MD

Dr. Sarah Gordon lost her husband and daughter. Now she’s about to lose her life.

After losing the two people she loved the most, Sarah Gordon doesn’t think life could get worse. But, after a fire in her garage is ruled an arson, she begins to realize someone is after her—and that person wants to see her dead. But first, they want to see her suffer.

Her late husband’s best friend, Kyle Andrews, and a recovering alcoholic detective, Bill Larson, are trying to solve the mystery before it’s too late, and they’re both trying to win her heart, too. Not only does Sarah feel torn between two men, she also feels as though she cannot trust anyone.

With creepy threats that become more and more sinister, Sarah finds herself in constant fear, but even the best home alarm technology won’t protect her. Who is doing this, and why are they after her?

Medical Judgment is the kind of roller-coaster thrill ride you won’t be able to put down.  I read this book in a single afternoon and wasn’t ready for the story to end.  I love that I couldn’t name the villain, although I had narrowed down the suspect list a bit.  Books in which the authors keep me guessing are the best, and Mabry is a master at twists and turns.

Another aspect I enjoy of his work is the reality of the characters.  They’re heavily flawed in the same kinds of ways as we are, and that makes for a more enjoyable read.  It’s easy to relate to the characters, because while I’ve never been stalked by a crazed gunman, I can understand faith doubts, confidence issues, and family concerns.

I’ve already recommended this book to friends and am sure I’ll be doing so over and over again.  Quality realistic suspense books aren’t easy to find, and Medical Judgment qualifies in spades.
