Thr3e by Ted Dekker

I received the re-issued edition of this book. I had not heard of it prior and was unaware of the movie that was made until after I read the book. I am glad because I didn’t want it to affect my thoughts when reading it for the first time.

Book Description
By all accounts seminary student Kevin Parsins is leading a good, if not virtuous, life. But like all people, Kevin has his secrets. And someone wants them revealed.

While driving home from a day at graduate school, Kevin receives a call from a mysterious stranger who calls himself Slater. Slater demands Kevin confess his sin in the next three minutes or the vehicle he is manning will be blown to pieces.

Thus starts a harrowing chain of events. After narrowly escaping his exploding car, Kevin continues to receive phone calls from Slater, each with another riddle, another consequence, and another three minutes to confess his sin.

The problem is Kevin is unsure of what that sin might be. And Slater's cycle won't stop until he figures it out.

My thoughts
Thr3e is a mystery and thriller with a quite a few plot twists that will make writing a review without giving things away. But I will try. Kevin Parsons, a 24-year-old seminary student gets a phone call while driving telling him that there is a bomb in his car and it will go off if he doesn’t solve a riddle. He is now the victim of a tormentor named Slater. Soon the FBI is involved and this mystery takers off. Dekker writes a fast paced exciting story that had me guessing and questioning every step of the way!
