When I saw Six Weeks to Live come up on Netgalley I immediately requested. I was excited when I got approved for the eARC. Catherine McKenzie writes in my favourite thriller genre & this book is the May @readcanlit pick too!

This book is a psychological thriller, it starts with a woman diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor. She decides that she’s going to enjoy her time left with her triplet daughters. But she’s also found she may have been poisoned with lead a year earlier and someone’s been trying to cover their tracks. Is it her ex-husband who’s been pushing for a divorce? She’s caught him in her house a few times when she’s come home unexpectedly. Or is it someone else?

This book had me suspecting everyone right up until the end! I loved the complex dynamics with the triplets and how each of their views of their parents was pretty different. Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for a fast paced psychological thriller.
