If you think the following sounds more like a Lifetime movie than a thriller -- childless could adopts a baby only to discover that her birth father wants her back -- C.J. Box would like only five hours of your time. THREE WEEKS is not a 10-hankie melodrama. It is a vigilante revenge story out to prove that when their families are threatened, human fathers act just like mother bears. That is, blood and blind justice flow abundantly...you'll find skilled pacing and well-developed suspense in what best may be described as "JUNO with a body count."
THREE OUT OF FOUR STARS
