    I've just started reading Christian mystery books in the last few years and enjoy a good read where it gets so intense you don't want to put the book down until you've finished it. For me a story has to catch me in the first few pages and this one did. These books also have faith messages all through them and the author has done a great job with this series. Can't wait to read the rest!

    I have recently read Richard Mabry's latest novel, Stress Test, and found the novel so good I decided to read some of his other books. As a result, I discovered Code Blue and what a find! This is the first book in the Prescription for Trouble Series. This is a contemporary medical suspense novel and it will enthrall the reader from page one until the end!

    Someone is out to kill Dr. Cathy Sewell or is she just being paranoid, descending into the schizophrenia that plagued her mother before her death? Cathy has returned to her hometown to start her own private family medical practice. She is having trouble getting patients due to rumors about her reasons for returning home. She is pursued by a mysterious black SUV she encounters several times, but is it the same SUV? Is there really anybody after her or is it her imagination running wild? Then, one of her few patients arrives at the hospital after taking too much of his medicine, causing a heart attack. The patient survives, but Cathy's career might not. As a result, Cathy is now being sued as she wrote the prescription incorrectly or did she?

    Cathy enlists the aid of her former high school boyfriend, who has now become a lawyer. Will Kennedy has never stopped loving Cathy, but wonders what happened when they both left for college and their relationship crumbled. He is ready to pick up where they left off, but Cathy is not so sure. Cathy has some unresolved anger at her father. Her parents were both killed in a car accident on the way to Cathy's college graduation. She wonders if her father was unfaithful to her mother. Cathy also had a couple of relationships where the men were unfaithful. She has trouble trusting Will. She also has trouble trusting God. She and He have not been on speaking terms since her parents' deaths. Will is the son of a preacher and an active Christian. Can he show Cathy that both he and God are trustworthy? Can they find solutions to Cathy's many problems and renew her faith?

    This is a great story that has action, suspense and unexpected twists and turns in the plot. The characters face stress and problems every day just like you and I. Okay, the problems may be different, but they are problems just the same. How do you deal with your problems? Do you try to fix them on your own or do you take them to the ultimate Problem Solver first? I plan to review more of this author's novels in the future, so if you like fast-paced fiction, stay tuned to read more!

    You might want to save this for the week-end so you can stay up until the wee hours reading, because, you will not want to put it down. The medical field mixed with mystery, romance, and strong christian values is just what this doctor ordered. I have researched the author because I was so interested in the man behind this book. This is one of the best books I have read in a long time, and I read a lot!!

    "Code Blue" is a fast-paced romantic suspense novel. It was, at it's core, about wrong perceptions of past events effecting how people viewed themselves and others in the present. The suspense was created by someone repeatedly trying to kill Cathy, various medical emergencies, and the tension in the various relationships.The mystery was a who-done-it, but I was pretty certain who did it from the moment we met the character. However, I found it believable that Cathy didn't quickly figure it out and that she acted the way she did. She wasn't dumb. She was just more inclined to trust her perceptions than to carefully think things through.The characters were interesting, likable, and dealt with realistic problems. The world-building was excellent, especially the details about the medical and legal aspects.Cathy was angry at God because of her parents marital problems (due to a mental illness) and the crash that took their lives. As she realized her perceptions of these events were wrong, she also changed her perception of God. The novel dealt with these issues in a way that was for Christians and those with a Christian background. Non-Christians will probably find it preachy due to the prominent Christian content, but I didn't find it so. I really liked it.There was no bad language. There was no sex. Overall, I'd recommend this book as exciting, well-written, clean reading.I received this book as a review copy from the publisher.

    When I think Christian fiction, I always automatically think female authors, and very rarely do I associate a male author. I think female authors because they create characters that are unforgettable and with whom I can undoubtedly relate to in some way or another. But I must confess and say that I am super pleased with Richard Mabry's work. CODE BLUE is a terrific start to a new medical series written by a highly talented male author. In CODE BLUE,book 1 in the Prescription for Trouble series, we get a healthy dose of crisis, suspense, faith tested and of course, romance! Inject that with a bit of humor and mix it up for the perfect drug! It will cure any ailment! The characters in this particular story blend well with the plot of suspense. This plot is one that grips your soul and puts you right in the middle of the medical action! I loved the thrill of not knowing what was gonna happen next to Dr. Sewell, and I also loved the feeling that Mabry created by those perfect injections of God's love and faith. It certainly made for better entertainment than those TV medical dramas! My advice to you? Read CODE BLUE. It's 5 star worthy, like Candace Calvert's Mercy Hospital Series...BETTER than any Grey's Anatomy, ER, or House episode could ever be. I can't wait for a second dose of medical mystery and fast paced thrills with this amazing series! And we'll get that with Prescription for Trouble's book 2: MEDICAL ERROR,coming in September of 2010!
