Take Your Breath Away by Linwood Barclay

Entertaining

Take Your Breath Away by Linwood Barclay is an exciting contemporary thriller that had me guessing from the start.

It has an intricately constructed plotline that has the reader and the characters questioning what really did happen six years earlier? There is a search for the truth.

Wow – Thrilling

Find You First by Linwood Barclay is an absolutely thrilling contemporary crime suspense that will have your heart racing and your mind spinning. It is a fabulous roller coaster of a read. Linwood Barclay is the master of the suspense novel.

The plotline is complex and well thought out. There are red herrings to pick up along the way as Linwood Barclay cleverly controls the directions your suspicions go until the very end. I failed once more to predict the outcome. My jaw literally dropped at the conclusion.

There is a cast of many. At times I found it hard to keep track – but that was my own fault for not reading book one first. I think it is beneficial to read the paperback (which I was) as it is easier to flick backwards than on a kindle.
