3 Days to Live, James Patterson

~ Tandy

3 Days to Live opening lines: My life felt like a dream. I guess that happens when you elope, hop on a plane, drift off to sleep, and wake up in a foreign country.

3 Days to Live

My blurb:

Samantha Bell is a former CIA agent, who gave up her job to marry Kevin Drexel. But all she learnt in her previous life has to come into play when Kevin is murdered. On the surface it appears that his being killed was only a matter of wrong place, wrong time. But with 3 days to live, Samantha is going to learn just how incorrect her assumptions were.

3 Days to Live
A CIA-agent bride is on her European honeymoon when she and her husband are poisoned – leaving her seventy-two hours to take revenge.
Women and Children First
When a deal goes bad on a tech executive in Washington, DC, he turns an order to kill his family into a chance to relive his military glory days.
The Housekeepers
A Los Angeles doctor trusts her two housekeepers, but when she’s murdered in a botched attempt to steal drugs, the pair of grifters vie to control their former employer’s estate – facing off against the Russian mob.
My verdict:

I thought that both 3 Days To Live, and Women And Children First were well written. The Housekeepers did not live up to its blurb, or my usual expectations of novels written under the James Patterson banner.
