About A Week’s Worth by Thyme Lewis
Acclaimed actor Thyme Lewis turns his talents to the pen with the recent release of his debut novel, A Week’s Worth. This intriguing first installment of a planned series subverts the archetype of the tough thriller hero by incorporating elements of mystery, strained family dynamics, and the jarring experience of unexpectedly going home.
A Week’s Worth follows the life of Jack “Mac” MacGuffin, an intrepid FEMA responder with an elite skill set worthy of the world’s most deadly gangs. After years of helping disaster survivors put their lives back together, Mac suddenly finds his own falling apart. His mother’s health is failing, and he can’t do anything about it except return to her side in California to right the wrongs of the past. But when people start dying around them under dubious circumstances, Mac discovers that maybe what his mother needs to feel alive again is finding out why death seems just next door.
Fans of Ann Cleeves and Vince Flynn will appreciate the precarious balance between Mac’s professional devotion and personal family ties. In a glowing review, professor Heidi Kozlowski of San Jose City College describes A Week’s Worth as an “uproariously funny and fast-paced action mystery story of an unlikely mother-son duo.”
With a twisty plot, an unforgettable cast, and standout writing that brings the Southern California setting to life, Lewis has made an impressive transition from screen to page. Future MacGuffin novels will continue to highlight the juxtaposition between Mac’s dark capabilities and the inner light that guides him to defend those who can’t protect themselves.
A Week’s Worth is available for purchase on Amazon.com, Audible, or wherever books are sold.
