Book Review: Six Weeks to Live by Catherine McKenzie

Tweet

I won this book from the author, and it is autographed! ~~~~ [/i]Jennifer Barnes never expected the shocking news she receives at a routine doctor's appointment: she has a terminal brain tumour - and only six weeks left to live.[i] [/i]While stunned by the diagnosis, the forty-eight-year-old mother decides to spend what little time she has left with her family - her adult triplets and twin grandsons - close by her side. But when she realizes she was possibly poisoned a year earlier, Jennifer is determined to discover who might have tried to get rid of her before she's gone for good.[i] [/i]Separated from her husband and with a contentious divorce in progress, Jennifer focuses her suspicions on her soon-to-be-ex. Meanwhile, her daughters are each processing the news differently. Calm medical student Emily is there for whatever Jennifer needs. Moody scientist Aline, who keeps her mother at arm's length, nonetheless agrees to help with the investigation. Even imprudent Miranda, who has recently had to move back home, is being unusually solicitous.[i] [/i]But with her daughters doubting her campaign against her father, Jennifer can't help but wonder if the poisoning is all in her head - or if there's someone else who wanted her dead.[i] ~~~~ This story hooks you right from the first page in the doctor's office with Jennifer receiving her diagnosis. She has evidence that she may have been poisoned. Now to prove it... and to get people to believe her. Is it her ex-husband, or her ex-boyfriend, or someone else? It's a mystery, it's a thriller, it's family drama. Definitely an exciting and suspense filled read. Do not miss it. I gave this 5 out of 5 stars.
