3.5 starsI liked this story The characters were 3 dimensional, the plot was well developed My only complaint was for me it started to really drag near the middle Conversations were waaaaay to long, explanations about what and why certain things were illegal seemed to drone on forever There was good information in all that, it just could have been a little succinct Kinda like this needed to be expanded 50 or pages so there were a lot of words added High school essay tactic I remember well The e [...]

Comfy chair Drinks Snacks Good lighting Excellent Cause you re not going to be getting up or stopping once you dive into Linwood Barclay s latest release The Accident.The opening prologue a violent crime with a distinctly different setting caught my interest But the foreshadowing in the first paragraph in chapter one clinched it If I d known this was our last morning, I d have rolled over in bed and held her But of course, if it had been possible to know something like that if I could have someh [...]

3 1 2 Was all set to give this book a four but the ending was a bit of an overkill for me Up to that point I was loving the book, suspense was great, it was a cautionary tale about the buying and selling of ripoff purses and drugs, liked the character of father and daughter but just couldn t buy that ending.

My first Linwood Barclay read, A Tap on the Window, earned a solid five star rating, and I was eager to pick up of his work I worked my way through a few of his books, all earning four star ratings from me, before reaching a book that left me a bit tentative Everyone knows that feeling of giving a beloved author a three star rating, how it can leave you worried about what else they can offer Due to this, I found myself avoiding the other Linwood Barclay books I own In the end, though, I finally [...]

I finished this book in about one and a half, two days It was a page turner, not necessarily because it extremely swept me up and interested me but because I just wanted to get it over with It s very simply written, and that s probably because the author is the type to churn out these types of novels and he wants them to appeal to the masses.I have a number of pet peeves about this book.First, it switches between first and third person a lot each chapter is a new character s thoughts or a descr [...]

Wow A thriller that actually thrills A quick roller coaster of a read I found this tight, fast moving book almost impossible to put down When I needed to do something such as eat or sleep I would open the book moments after closing it, and skip other activities hasn t happened during a mystery for a long time Barclay s books belong in the same category as H Cobin s domestic mystery, where average people or families are caught up in mysterious and dangerous circumstances.I found the adults, react [...]

I borrowed this book from my Grandma as she had plenty of good things to say about it Judging from the blurb, it was right up my street.The prologue made me yawn until I got to the end of the scene I wasn t hooked but I thought I would at least give the book a chance The voice and style of the writing was rather limp and I was already considering on giving up within the first three chapters.I pushed myself forward despite having a massive gripe with the book This is written in first person and t [...]

A great thriller set in my area of Connecticut And Linwood Barclay does his research, because he got everything right the towns, the landmarks, even the malls I didn t think anything could follow Unspeakable in terms of a page turning thriller with a shocking ending, but this one was very good I ve heard that others by LB are even stronger, so I m looking forward to becoming a full fledged LB addict Bring em on
