Synopsis

Will, Jeffrey, and Nolan are lifelong friends. Each has gone their separate ways as adults, living their own lives while forging their own careers. They have no reason to believe anything extraordinary will befall them. Until one shocking moment changes everything.
 
 Will is a part-time drummer who spends the rest of his time in recording studios. Then one night Jeffrey attempts to rob a convenience store, drags a young woman into Will’s car, and shouts a single word: “Drive!” Shaken and confused, Will obeys.
 
 Suddenly these ordinary men find themselves completely out of their element, holding a young girl hostage without the slightest idea of what to do next. They are already guilty of kidnapping and robbery; it is only a matter of time before they find out just what else they’re capable of. For these four people, three days will decide their fate—freedom and prison, innocence and guilt—and life and death.

I was so impressed by Kardos' latest Before He Finds Her, that picking up its predecessor was an easy choice. It's always interesting to see how the author fares from book to book, in this case in reverse. The progress is obvious, Three Day Affair is very good, Before He Finds Her is amazing.

When I first read THE THREE-DAY AFFAIR in 2012, I didn't like it. Correction: I decided I didn't like it. The difference is that I probably did like it but was hung up on my belief that the major plot hook in it wasn't plausible, and therefore the way the characters behaved in reaction to it amounte......more
