Great product!
I had not read any of Richard Malbry's books. This was a story full of suspense, left me wanting to turn the pages! Some romance but not too much, which I prefer, tastefully done.
What I really appreciate, is when the author writes a story wrapped within his/her real life expertise. They are even more interesting and factual along with great intrigue.
I have since ordered another book by this author.

medical/legal thriller perfect for summer reading
Stress Test was a great medical thriller. It really grabs you and takes you a wild ride with Dr. Matt Newman. Talk about wrongly identified and being in the wrong place and the wrong time. Dr. Newman and his lawyer are strong characters who are fighters for what is right and are willing to stand their ground. Having Sandra Murray as his lawyer and by his side helps Matt during a rough time helps realize he has fallen away a little from his faith. He reaches out and starts reading the bible and re believing. Can he stay alive long enough to clear his name? Can he and Sandra find love and faith in each other? Can the truth come out? Read Stress Test and find out all the answers. This is a great book and perfect for summer reading!!! I will be seeing if our library has more by Richard Mabry. This was the first book I've read by him but I would love to read more. If they are as good as Stress Test then I will want to read all of his books!

Suspense At It's Best
When I knew this book was by Dr Mabry, I knew I was going to like it, and he didn't disappoint. Stress Test might be what the main character is experiencing, but you are going to feel the stress while you page turn to get to the answers.
What poor Dr Matt Newman experiences in this book, should not happen to anyone. Just when you think things are about to be cleared up and start to get better...boom...they don't! If he were a cat, he would be down to life Number 8.
The main question is "why", why are all these things happening to him? He is charged with murder, and someone or some people want him dead. Where can he turn? Seems like all the people he counted on are not there for him, except he does have God on his side. God also seems to be putting people in his path, during these trials, that are trying to bring bring him back Home to Him.
Enter Sandra Murray, a beautiful redheaded, spitfire of a Lawyer. She belongs to God, and is not interested in any relationships where she is unequally yoked. Will she be able to help Matt?
From one page to the next you will be on pins and needles, but it is a great read. Don't miss this one!!
I received this book through Litfuse Publicity Group, and was not required to give a positive review.

Thrilling Medical Suspense from Richard Mabry!
Stress Test is another stellar suspense novel by Dr. Richard Mabry! The beginning was so suspenseful and immediately drew me in. With every page, it seemed that clues were discovered and then another twist was thrown in to muddy the waters a bit more. It wasn't until the very end that things really came together for a neat conclusion.
Matt was an interesting character. I liked that this book focused on a male characterâÂÂunlike many of the novels I read. Matt had a lot going wrong in his life and his attorney, a doctor friend, and brother are three characters who really step in to serve as friends and confidantes throughout the story. These additional characters make for a more well-rounded story. I loved how the faith elements wove through this storyâÂÂand among all the charactersâÂÂso naturally.
The one aspect that disappointed me a little was the end. There were a couple of things that didn't completely make sense to me. BUT the rest of the book was so good that this didn't really detract from all the positive aspects of the books. Once again, I really enjoyed this novel by Mabry and look forward to reading others by him in the future! [4 stars]
I received a free copy of this book from Thomas Nelson & Litfuse Publicity in exchange for my fair and honest review.
