Review: Three by Ted Dekker

by:  Ted Dekker

published by:  Mass Market Paperback

Enter a world where nothing is what it seems. Where your closest friend could be your greatest enemy.

Kevin Parson is driving his car late one summer day when, suddenly, his cell phone rings. A man who identifies himself as Slater speaks in a breathy voice: You have exactly three minutes to confess your sin to the world. Refuse, and the car you're driving will blow sky high.

Kevin panics. Who would make such a call? What sin? Kevin ditches the car. Precisely three minutes later, a massive explosion sets his world on a collision course with madness.

I own a few Ted Dekker books, but this is the first one that I've read.  It certainly won't be the last.  I really liked it!

If you want a great thriller suspense type book, this is definitely one you need.  The ending was very interesting and surprising.  It made me want to reread the book and see if I could poke holes in the story.  Very clever! 

His writing style reminded me of Tami Hoag.  I think if you're a fan of her you would like his books as well.  It seemed like the same level of suspense and violence...maybe a little less than Hoag.  Just a good solid thriller mystery that keeps you hanging until the very end.

Thanks to Hachette for sending me a copy of this book to review.
