In this latest Mac Faraday Mystery from
best-selling mystery author Lauren Carr, readers will embark on a rollercoaster
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!

My Review:
Wow! Where have I been that I've never read a book by Lauren Carr before? This is the 9th book in the Mac Faraday mystery series, so I have a lot of catching up to do. Once I found out about the previous 8 books, I freaked out. I was afraid I would be lost in this one, but fortunately I was not. I was very grateful that Ms. Carr included a character list in the front of the book. It definitely was put to good use.
This book is a fast paced thrill ride that really gets under your skin. Mac Faraday is a great character surrounded by (many) great characters. I think that the characters were the strong point for me. I thought each was done so well, even the secondary characters came to life!
The plot took on a few political angles that would usually turn me off, but I think that they were handled well and were interesting. The mystery and drama made me a happy happy gal, so no real complaints here.
Three Days to Forever is a solid, intriguing, entertaining read that will keep you reading well past your bedtime!
