In the medical suspense thriller, Lethal Remedy by Richard L. Mabry, MD, the reader is taken into the dark world of the clinical trials for a pharmaceutical company that will stop at nothing to make sure this drug is approved and ready for sale. I LOVED this book and being a fan of medical mysteries, this one had me on the edge of my seat and questioned just how safe are the drugs we take on faith today. What would happen if this occurred today? I rate this one a hands down 5 out of 5 stars and can't wait to read more by Richard Mabry in the Prescription for Trouble series. I received this Kindle edition compliments of Abingdon Press and NetGalley for my honest review.
