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!

“Lauren Carr’s mystery novels are indeed one of my go-tos when I’m looking for a good whodunit.” –Reviewer: Shana Benedict, ABookVacation Book Reviews.

 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!
