Thank you netgalley and publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book. This is my first book by this author and definitely won’t be my last. This was a fun read with a definite expiration stamp. There were a few twists and turns, a lot of deceit, and a semi unexpected ending. Will definitely recommend to others!

Interesting read about a woman who is given 6 weeks to live. She believes she has been deliberately poisoned. She suspects her ex-husband and enlists the help of her triplet daughters to confirm her suspicion. But all is not simple and the triplets seem to have their own reasons for possibly poisoning their mother. A whodunnit with many twists. Entertaining....

Really enjoyed the idea of this and the alternating chapters. Felt for the characters, but I'm not sure how I feel about the final resolution of everything. I don't know where I wanted it to go exactly but I felt a little disappointed by the end result. Still a good read though.

This book is pure genius. Jennifer is newly diagnosed with cancer and has a limited time to live. The book is set up with different POV and timelines. I am a huge fan of this set up. Jennifer goes through the motions of her diagnosis and wants to spend her limited time left with her 3 daughters.

Mckenzie does an outstanding job with character development and plot line. This book is a sure hit come May.

A psychological thriller with lots of twists and turns, with a surprising final conclusion. Interesting too as it explores Munchausen syndrome and the various presentations in depth, and the physical and psychological damage it can do to all involved. A good fast paced read. Enjoyable.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of Six Weeks to Live.

The premise sounded so intriguing so I was excited when my request was approved.

Told from the POVs of Jennifer Barnes, and her triplet daughters, Aline, Miranda, and Emily, we are given insight into how each woman is dealing and coping with their mother's shocking terminal diagnosis.

I'm not a fan of various POVs because the reader is unable to form a bond with any one character; here, I found it difficult to like or sympathize with any character, even Jennifer.

The daughters were bratty and childish and Jennifer was a doormat.

The narrative was slow, tedious, and repetitive as Jennifer and her girls wonder about what to do.

There's not much suspense or drama; I guessed correctly what some of the revelations were and were a bit hard to suspend disbelief for.

I think many readers would enjoy this but this was just an average read for me.

WHOA! This is gold. I loved the premise, loved the idea of the triplets, and I enjoyed the alternating chapters. This was such a great mystery, and the ending certainly took me by surprise. Perfect amount of red herrings, and the narrative was well-paced. I will certainly recommend to friends!

Ironic, But Explaining That Is Spoilery. My singular biggest takeaway from this book is just how *HIGHLY* ironic it turns out to be. But explaining that involves discussing specifics of the ending of the book, and thus isn't something I'm going to do in a review. Just not my style. At all.

What I *can* tell you about this book is that for the most part, you've got your expected Catherine McKenzie level mystery here. By which I mean there will be all kinds of twists and turns. Secrets all over the place - including some revealed only in the final pages. Solid pacing. A compelling introduction. And a general sense after reading it of "WOW"/ "WTF". If you're looking for that kind of book, I've yet to be let down with anything I've read from this author... including this very book. Very much recommended.

I love McKenzie's books but it's hard to review this one because I'm still so mad at one character that I'm having trouble letting go! Yes, we're all flawed but this family has more than enough for everyone! The 48-year-old mother discovers she has a terminal brain tumor and has six weeks to live. But then she notices an anomaly in her blood tests that suggest heavy traces of lead. Could she have been poisoned? Her ex-husband and new young wife immediately come to mind. Her triplet daughters and mother are devastated but skeptical of her suspicions. Enough said. It's a slow burn thriller that is totally worth it!

Six Weeks to Live by Catherine McKenzie is a mystery about a wife/mother/grandmother who finds out she has a brain tumor and only has six weeks to live. While looking through her medical history, she discovers that she may have been poisoned a year earlier and that may be what led to her glioblastoma. Who could have poisoned her? Her husband that is seeking a divorce? Her triplet daughters that discover some disturbing secrets regarding their mother? This book was well-written and well-paced, and I enjoyed it. Thanks to NetGalley for the free digital review copy. All opinions are my own.

A diagnosis of terminal brain cancer knocks Jennifer Barnes sends the mother and grandmother into a downward spiral. Then she discovers someone tried to poison her a year earlier. Suddenly, Jennifer finds a purpose for her remaining time on earth, to find out who tried to kill her. Her money is on her soon to be ex, but her three adult daughters have a hard time believing their father could do such a horrible thing. Can they uncover the truth in time?

Amazing story. Well developed characters that are in a twisted engrossing thriller. Highly recommended. Super suspense that comes to a satisfying end! Highly recommended . A true roller coaster thrill ride

In this fast-paced psychological thriller, 48 year old Jennifer finds herself diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor, giving her only 6 weeks to live. She breaks the news to her 25 year old triplet daughters, Emily, Miranda and Aline as well as her estranged husband Jake on the same evening she finds out her diagnosis. But Jennifer also discovers that months ago, a routine blood panel showed sky-high levels of lead in her system — these levels that could very well be responsible for her current situation. So, who’s trying to kill her? And why?

From the first page, the author takes us into the minds of each character and gives us full access to their current state of mind. The family has a lot of secrets and the plot twists in this novel are plentiful. Excellent novel with a great spin on true family dynamics.

Are you fan of classic black and white thriller movies like me? Did you watch D. O. A. ( 1949)? It’s a story of a man named Frank Bigelow who has been poisoned and he has only few days to live! Clock is ticking and he has to find the perpetrator who commit this crime and the reason behind it! There’s also remake on the movie which was shot on 1988, Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan were the leading actors. But I truly recommend the original movie!

This book’s plot line is reminding me of that movie. But of course the genre of the book is not action packed thriller. This is mostly emotional, intense family drama meets mystery and domestic thriller.

It opens with Jennifer’s appointment at the hospital. Her doctor gives him the worst news of her life: she has glioblastoma in her brain: a grade 4 cancer. But this is not even the worst part. She has only six to eight weeks to live and her disease is incurable. They’re too late to diagnose it!

How could it be possible? She is not ready to leave behind her adult triplet daughters and her twin grandsons. And as she digs further she finds out there’s a possibility she might have been poisoned a year ago. But who and why?

The person could be in her close circle to have an opportunity to reach what she eats or drinks. Her husband is the first person who is extremely volunteered to get rid of her. She has the leverage, a quiet disturbing information about him, rejecting to divorce without getting paid! This means he may chosen easier way to solve his problem permanently!

But what about her daughters? Emily seems like the most responsible one but she seems like struggling with her med school, twins. There’s something off about her! Aline and Jennifer’s estranged relationship also increase suspicion of her intentions ! Miranda who recently moved back to house, also struggling financially, keeping big secrets from her family. She is definitely acting weird! What secret she keeps eating her alive?

Nobody is honest in this family. They have trust issues, preferring to sweep things under the rug, acting like everything is so normal.

We’re introduced to bunch of broken, damaged characters and their sad, traumatized stories.
You may guess who poisoned Jennifer from the beginning but it was still well written psychological family drama with lots of twists and jaw dropping moments, satisfying conclusion. I can only say about this ruined family at the end: apple does not fall from the tree. ( you’ll understand when you reach the last %10 of the book)

I’m giving four surprising, heart wrenching, whodunnit, dysfunctional family and motherhood stars! I loved Catherine McKenzie’s books and her incredible talent. I’m looking forward to devour the next book she’ll write!

Special thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for sharing this amazing digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest thoughts.

How much do you trust your family, and yourself? Told from different perspectives, this had an interesting premise and kept me invested in the outcome. This would be a great choice for a book club.

Kindly received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This one is dark and very twisty. Jennifer, mother of grown triplets, finds out she has brain cancer. With six weeks to live, she begins making amends with her family. She also discovers she had lead poisoning. She begins sleuthing to determine how she was poisoned. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to be an early reader in exchange for my review.

This is my second Catherine McKenzie book, and I have loved every word of both.

Six Weeks to Live does an amazing job of exploring familial relationships, how a family copes with grief, and how we don’t always know those who are closest to us. I loved Catherine McKenzie’s development of these characters and their relationships with each other, especially from the triplet angle. These characters are compelling and relatable, and I was eager to learn more about them from the first chapter.

While the character development was my favorite part of this novel, the plot was also extremely well done. There were so many different layers of secrets and subplots, and I couldn’t wait to see how it would all come together. I did guess the culprit, but the clues came together so smoothly that I didn’t mind.

I would recommend Six Weeks to Live to anyone that enjoys a good family drama, with complicated relationships and layers of secrets–some of them deadly.
