If you like to read medical thrillers, you will enjoy reading Critical Condition by Richard L. Mabry, MD. Critical
Condition is the fifth book that I’ve read by Dr. Mabry, and all of them have
been captivating. You don’t get bogged down with medical jargon because he
explains things in layman’s terms and you want to keep reading to find out what
is going to happen. You can read my review of Stress Test by Dr. Mabry here.
Critical Condition begins with a prologue
where Shannon Frasier, a premed student, is walking beside her boyfriend when
he is shot and killed. His last words to her were “Help me.” She made a vow
that night that she would fight against death and win.
Fast forward several years to chapter one where Dr. Shannon Frasier is
hosting a dinner just before a long Fourth of July weekend. Attending the
dinner are, Shannon’s “almost-fiancé”, pathologist Dr. Mark Gilbert, Dr. Le
Duan (Lee) Kai (who had just finished his residency) and Lee’s wife, Ann.
Suddenly, three flat cracks from outside make Shannon pause. She looks outside
to realize that someone is on her front lawn, injured from a gunshot. Shannon
races to try to save him, but when she is unsuccessful, memories from the past
begin to flood her mind. Shannon must now deal with police detectives as they
struggle to unravel what is going on.
Shannon’s sister, a recovered drug addict, shows up needing a place to
stay and events start happening that seem to point all evidence on Shannon and
her sister. You definitely don’t want to put the book down until you figure out
who is really guilty.
