One of the killers of today
This book 4 in the series touches on an issue that
the medical field faces today. We have super bugs
that our medicines will not kill. This is a great read.

This was an attention grabber right from the start. The characters kept you guessing as to who was really behind this cover up & their race to find how to fix it. I enjoyed this series immensely, however each book is a great stand alone product too.

High-level Pharmaceutical Participants
What happens when the race to stop a lethal bacteria becomes a race to stop a killer vaccine?
Dr. Richard MabryâÂÂs book, Lethal Remedy, is a suspense that includes high-level managerial participants, with one anonymous snitch. A vaccine, Jandramyacin, is claimed to be the miracle cure for Staph luciferus, a world-wide epidemic that has killed hundreds around the world. This book has been my favorite so far based on the number of scenarios, the conflicting participants, and how quickly the circumstances change. ItâÂÂs fast-paced and multi-leveled from the first page to the last.
Richard shows how money, greed, and status can become center stage instead of healing people, and that some people are willing to kill to get it all! Secrets, mysterious testing, and missing data are the impetus of distrust between some of the doctors and the pharmaceutical companies. As the international convention is convening, will the crucial missing methodology puzzle piece that creates the intensity of the lethal side effects data be exposed?
The story makes one wonder how much of this goes on today in the medical world. Can we trust the drug companies and their employees? How about our own doctor? Is he/she really looking out for our best interests, or are money, power and prestige driving the use of certain medications? Find out at the end what the authorâÂÂs experience has been.
The gentle romance took some of the intensity off the situation, and I was surprised with the outcome of the relationships!
The faith of several of the characters made a huge impact on the end results. I was surprised with who was willing to put prayer to the test.
Special thanks to Julie Dowd (Abingdon Press) for sending me a review copy. No monetary compensation was exchanged.

Another Great Thriller from Dr. Mabry
Lethal Remedy by Dr. Richard L. Mabry
Ok, so this new drug can cure a deadly staph infection, one even worse than MRSA, and it is perfectly safe, no side effects, just all good stuff? That should throw a red flag right there! Yet Jandra Pharmaceutical was using Dr. Ingersol to convince Doctors and patients that this experimental drug is the wonder drug of all times. But someone somewhere is not telling all, and Dr. Rip Pearson is determined to find some answers. As I was reading the book I had to wonder if things like this happen today. The way people are always trying to get ahead and make the big money, you have to wonder. Is it all about the patient or all about the money?
Being a huge fan of Dr. MabryâÂÂs books, I was anxious to read this forth book in the Prescription for Trouble Series. Though Lethal Remedy was a lighter read than the other three books, I was still glued to the pages until the last word! Again, he created a cast of characters that were unique and played their part so well to make the book a fast-paced, easy read enjoyable thriller. Throughout the book was the big question of whodoneit. And Dr. IngersolâÂÂs character was very well written but he was a jerk! It sure wouldnâÂÂt do for him to be my Doctor! And the way it all ended was interesting, and good old doc Ingersol wasnâÂÂt as great as he wanted people to believe he was. But you need to read the book to find out all about that! And I canâÂÂt leave out the way the author writes the faith of his characters into the story, not so it jumps out of the book at you, but so we can see Christ in the lives of the characters. I appreciate the way God is using Dr Mabry to spread the gospel to a group of people that may not hear it otherwise.
IâÂÂm glad Abingdon Press and Dr Mabry decided to add a fourth book to this series. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Lethal Remedy and highly recommend it to anyone who likes medical fiction, thrillers, mystery and just a good book to read!
I recâÂÂd this book from the publisher Harvest House through F.I.R.S.T. WildCard Tours. I was not expected or required to write a positive review. The opinions in this review are mine only.
