Stress Test by Richard L. Mabry

About the Book:

"THEY MAY NOT HAVE ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO CONVICT HIM, BUT THEY HAVE ENOUGH TO RUIN HIS LIFE.

Dr. Matt Newman thought he was leaving his life as a surgeon in private practice for a better one in academic medicine. But the kidnappers who attacked him as he left the hospital at 2 a.m. have no such plans—they just want him dead. Bound and in the trunk of his car, Matt’s only thought is fleeing with his life. He does escape, but at a price: a head injury that lands him in the ICU . . . where he awakens to discover he’s being charged with murder.

Sandra Murray is a fiery, redheaded lawyer who swore she was done with doctors after her last relationship. But when Matt calls, she knows she can’t walk away from defending someone who is truly innocent.

Matt’s career is going down the drain. His freedom and perhaps his life may be next. But with the police convinced he’s a killer and the kidnappers still trying to finish what they started, finding the truth—and the faith to keep going—will be the toughest stress test Matt has ever endured."

My Review: 

What an outstanding book by Dr. Mabry!! I started it yesterday morning and within 24 hours, I had finished it--every moment I could, I was reading it--I just didn't want to put it down. Not only was the writing solid and dramatic, but it also was realistic. Additionally, the Christian themes in it spoke to my heart reminding me that no matter what happens and what the outcome, the Lord always takes care of His children. The fast pace of the story with its suspense, twists, and turns leaves me a bit tired from having foregone sleep to finish it :)  Read the book--you won't be disappointed. Thank you Dr. Mabry for an excellent read--well done!!

Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson Publishers for allowing me to preview the book--the opinions which I wrote are my own.
