Review: Three Weeks to Say Goodbye

Just fin­ished Three Weeks to Say Good­bye by C.J. Box.

The book is nar­rated by a man that recently adopted a baby girl with his wife. Life is great until the adop­tion agency calls to tell him that the birth father wants the baby back. To make things worse, the birth father’s father is a fed­eral judge.

While things seem rather omi­nous at first, the first part of the book reads almost like a TV spe­cial. The judge and his son appear “evil”, but no more so than you’d expect from peo­ple will­ing to tear a child from her family.

But things get worse and worse. Peo­ple die, peo­ple kill, lives are changed. Despite my con­tin­ual attempts to guess at the end­ing, I failed pretty mis­er­ably until it was pretty much spelled out for me.

Over­all, a very good read. I’d def­i­nitely rec­om­mend it.
