Overview
"For Dr. Cathy Sewell, Code Blue means more than just the cardiac emergencies she faces - it's the state of her life when the return to her hometown doesn't bring the peace she's desperately need. The town doctors resent the fact that she's not only a newcomer but also a woman, and the devestating results from one of her prescriptions may mean the end of her practice. As two men compete for her affection, an enemy wants her out of town- or possibly even dead." - Taken from Cover p. 4.

 | Couldn't put it down, refreshingly authentic medical mystery! May 30, 2010 |
| I admit, as an RN/nursing supervisor, I'm usually skeptical of medical-related fiction. But Dr. Mabry's CODE BLUE had me in the first few paragraphs. His use of medical knowledge and details is accurate, but not overwhelming; in-depth, but not over-powering. The storyline captivated me, too. I really felt Cathy's struggle with learning to trust again, and her relationship with Will was believeable, tender, and inspiring. This is a perfect snuggle-under-the-covers-and-stay-there-'til-you're-finished mystery. I read this in one day becuase I couldn't put it down, and can't wait until his next book is released! | | | | quick flowing light thriller! May 24, 2010 |
| found it hard to put this book down. fun and inspiring look into a new doctors life in a small town. good character development, and a hard to figure out who done it until the last page turn. | | |  | Well-written & suspenseful May 23, 2010 |
"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. I was pretty certain who did it from the moment we met the character, but it's pretty hard to fool me on mysteries anymore. 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.
Review by Debbie from Genre Reviews | | | | Great medical mystery May 21, 2010 |
| Really enjoyed this first in the Prescription for Trouble series. The medical aspects were fascinating, even to this non-medical person, and the mystery definitely kept me turning pages. I'm looking forward to more in the series and I've found a new genre to round out my reading interests! | | | | Code Blue- great suspense and a lot of fun May 17, 2010 |
| I just finished this book yesterday and love it! It is a perfect combination of suspense, medical thriller and faith. I am going to pre-order the next book, as it will be published in September 2010. Dr. Cathy Sewell returns to her home town in Texas, after her fiancée broke her heart. She wants to establish a practice but faces a lot of opposition. On the top of everything, someone wants her dead. | | | Write your own review about Code Blue (Prescription For Trouble V1)
