Three Days to Forever (A Mac Faraday Mystery) by Lauren Carr

Three Days to Forever, where we first meet the duo 

Murphy and Jessica who are featured in author 

Lauren Carr's new novel Kill And Run.

Synopsis

In this latest Mac Faraday Mystery from best-selling mystery author Lauren Carr, readers will embark on a roller coaster adventure with old friends (including the Lovers in Crime team of Prosecutor Joshua Thornton and Homicide Detective Cameron Gates), but also meet new ones as Mac Faraday’s daughter Jessica Faraday and Joshua Thornton’s son Murphy Thornton join the team in the race to get the love birds to the altar!

With three days left to the year, Deep Creek Lake is hopping with holiday vacationers and wedding guests pouring into the Spencer Inn for Mac Faraday and Archie Monday’s huge wedding ceremony which is being touted as the social event of the year.

But droopy flowers and guests who failed to RSVP are the least of Mac’s and Archie’s problems when a professional hit squad hits Spencer Manor to send the groom, Joshua Thornton, Archie’s mother, and Gnarly running for their lives.

With time running out to the big day, Mac Faraday and Spencer’s small police force have to sort through the clues to figure out not only who has been targeted for assassination, but also who is determined to stop everything … FOREVER!

Review

Three Day to Forever is, I believe. the 9th book in the Mac Faraday series which has a huge fan following. It is listed as mystery and suspense and that certainly is it's main focus, but the author also adds an element of romance that is a big draw for many female readers.

Not offering any plot spoilers can be difficult, so here's a few of the high lights - a huge wedding planned, a professional hit squad without a clear idea of who is the target, special U.S. agents that only take on the most secret of assignments, an attempted abduction in a diner where the rescuer and rescuee instantly fall in love and some truly unique pets, including one that can use a TV changer. It's easy to see readers will be kept on the edge of their seats as they try to figure out how all these threads are going to come together. There is a nice balance between hard driving moments and playful humour that will keep drawing you in.

This book was a great escapist read and I fully intend to read more in this series - perhaps right back to book one. There was only one downside for me - two cute nicknames shared. I've never been a fan of calling a love interest by a cute nickname and found it odd amongst the strong personalities offered in the plot. That said, it's a very small detail and I'm fully aware that the many readers who embrace nicknames will unequivocally disagree with me.
