Reading a good thriller is like an interrogation in your imagination. Was it this person? Did they do that? And was it because of this?
 Six Weeks To Live was all that and more.
 Thank you to Netgalley and Simon & Schuster Canada for my eARC for review!
 Jennifer Gagnon is dying of a brain tumour and has been given six weeks to live. Lab results from a year prior note an acutely high level of lead in her blood, of unexplained etiology. 
 Are these findings related, and how did the lead get in her system?
 This is such an interesting concept for a thriller, backed by a unique family dynamic. The Gagnon family is made up of adult triplet daughters and an estranged cheating husband - lots of personalities to get to know, and secrets hidden from the past. 
 This is my second book by Canadian author Catherine McKenzie and she certainly knows how to spin the suspense - the tension literally starts on the first page and doesn't let up.
 Do check this one out! Recommended!
 Released on April 20.
