Happy Day After Thanksgiving and of course that means it’s Black Friday! I have a Black Friday deal for you! Richard Mabry’s novella, Emergency Case, is up for preorder on Amazon for .99! When it releases Tuesday, it will go up. 🙂 So grab it now. Here’s the back cover copy:
Dr. Kelly Irving knew her husband, attorney Jack Harbaugh, was acting strangely but figured they’d get through it. When she backed out of her garage that morning, she thought her car hit a bump. Instead, its progress was stopped by the body of a man her husband recently represented. Not only that, the dead man had been shot by her husband’s gun. The police who investigated made it clear that Jack was a primary suspect.
Kelly couldn’t decide if Jack was a murderer or marked as the next victim. As things continued to escalate, they were forced to put their marital differences aside and concentrate on keeping Jack alive while discovering who was behind the whole thing.
Here’s my review:
The first few pages of Emergency Case by Richard Mabry drew me in right away when a slam-dunk case turns into a prescription for murder. I identified with attorney Jack Harbaugh’s dilemma when the client reveals a crime that is about to take place before he can stop him. Jack should report it to the police, but he’s not certain he believes his client until he ends up dead in his drive.
Emergency Case kept me turning pages as the suspense mounted. Dr. Mabry does a great job of putting his characters in jeopardy. I also enjoyed the interaction between Jack and his wife, Kelly. A great read!
I have an ARC copy of Emergency Case and will give it away to one lucky commenter. Just leave a comment telling what’s your favorite thing to do on Thanksgiving. (It may be after I return from Israel).

Awesome, Maria!
Love hanging out with family after dessert is served.

That is fun, Mindy! Would you believe I skipped dessert this year! Me, either. lol
My fave Thanksgiving thing to do is when each of us at the dinner table say something we’re thankful for. My husband always says something so sweet it makes me cry.
Author
I meant for us to do that, Priscilla! Next year!!
To enjoy time with family and friends and then walk afterwards in warm sunshine.

Excellent answer, Delores!
I love time with family, though it’s not all my family. My husband and mother in law do 90% of the cooking. I was dishes .
Author
Mary, washing the dishes is a VERY important job! I did 100% of the cooking except for a cranberry salad a friend brought.
This book sounds fantastic! I really enjoy Richard Mabry’s books!!
For Thanksgiving, I love talking together and playing games.
Author
Hi Diane! We don’t play games now, but in the past, the men would get together for card games. Games are a fun way to chill with family.
My favorite thing to do at Thanksgiving is to invite people to our home who don’t have family in town or don’t have a place to celebrate the holiday.
Author
Maureen, I usually do that but this year my kids were here, but I did invite friends over for leftovers. 🙂 Thanks for visiting my blog!
Just chillin’ with family

That’s what we did, Lisa!
My favorite thing for this Thanksgiving was our son held hands with us and actually thanked God for his new job. To my knowledge he hasn’t prayed in years. I am thankful for God’s mercies and His answer to prayer

Phyllis, that was truly a blessing! Happy Thanksgiving!
Patricia, thanks for this opportunity…and for your review. Appreciate it.

Always happy to review your books, Richard! Thanks for the giveaway.
I enjoyed the early copy I received of Emergency Case. Dr. Mabry writes some interesting stories. My favorite thing for Thanksgiving is to have a nice quiet day where I can relax.

Most of my Thanksgivings are that way. This year was full and fun, though.
spend time with my daughter

That’s always a fun thing, Shelia!
Favorite thing on Thanksgiving is to be with family. We managed to get three of the four kids together yesterday.
Author
That’s great, Paula. My grandson and his family didn’t make it to my house, but everyone else did. Then everyone but me headed to Little Rock to see him for a few days. I wish I could have gone, but with a deadline and trip to Israel it was impossible.
I enjoy being w/ family

It’s always great when we can be with family, MS Barb.
I love cooking for family.

Me, too, Lucy. I usually cook for two so it’s special when I get to cook for ten!
I love catching up with family members that I have not seen for a while!

That is fun, Tammy. This year was the first time in 8 years that my oldest daughter made it to my house. We’ve seen each other, but I always go to Florida to see her and my younger daughter and her family.
I love spending time with my siblings & their children! We stay up late playing games and enjoying each other’s company.
Author
Bethany, it’s been so long since we’ve stayed up late, playing games. We used to do that playing monopoly.
Family time and the good food.

Absolutely, Gloria and it’s good the Thanksgiving meal only comes once a year! Of course there’s Christmas…
One of my favorite things to do during Thanksgiving is catch up on all the rest and family time I miss during the school year as a 2nd Grade teacher.
Author
That sounds like a winner, Mikala! And bless your heart, for being a 2nd grade teacher. You are so special!
I enjoy spending time with family and friends.
