I just love a good mystery! This book, Critical Condition written by Richard Mabry, was a wonderful book to curl up on the couch with to relax and unwind from the day. This author has written at least six other novels, and I would like to make the time to read those sometime soon, too!
In Critical Condition, the author introduces the main character, Shannon Frazier, who is a doctor that finds herself caught in the nightmare of a murder on her front lawn. To add to the situation Shannon already finds herself in, she has to help her sister, Megan, who shows up at her doorstep needing a place to stay....yet again! Shannon's boyfriend wants to become engaged, but he can't get past a wall that she keeps up between them when the topic of marriage comes up.
Later on in the book, Shannon discovers that her dad has been diagnosed with leukemia. Under all of these stress factors, who does Shannon turn to for help? You'll have to pick up the book and find that out for yourself! :)
I enjoyed reading this book, and I especially loved that fact that the author made it a Christian-based work of fiction. Good, clean mysteries are so hard to come by in the world that we live in today. I really appreciate that people take the time to write books that keep God at the center! I plan to share this book with my mom and sisters before donating it to our church library.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book by BookLook to read and review. All opinions expressed are my own.
