The Three-Day Affair

Book 73 of my 2018 Reading Challenge

The Three-Day Affair by Michael Kardos

Summary (via Goodreads)
Will, Jeffrey, and Nolan have been friends since their undergrad days at Princeton. Now, nine years after graduation, Will is a failed musician still reeling from the death of a bandmate. Jeffrey got lucky and then rich from the dot-com boom, and Nolan is a state senator with national aspirations. Their friendships have bent without breaking for years, until one shocking event changes everything.
One night on a drive, they make a routine stop at a convenience store. Moments after entering the store, a manic Jeffrey emerges, dragging a young woman with him. He shoves her into Will's car and shouts a single word: "Drive!" Shaken and confused, Will obeys. 
Suddenly these three men find themselves completely out of their element, holding a frightened young girl hostage without the slightest idea of what to do next. They're already guilty of kidnapping and robbery; it's only a matter of time before they find out what else they might be guilty of. For these three friends, three days will decide their fate--between freedom and prison, innocence and guilt . . . and life and death. 

My Opinion
This was a very low 2 star read for me.  The only thing that kept it from a 1 star was the author's writing style because I would read him again but this story was implausible and just stupid stupid stupid.  The premise was ridiculous, I was uninvested by page 10, I predicted the ending even though I was hoping I was wrong, and then it was over.

Decent writing wasted on a horrible plot.
