Never Look Away
Never Look Away: A Thriller | Linwood Barclay
6 posts | 27 read | 7 to read
Linwood Barclay is back with more unexpected twists and superb characters in a spine-tingling, mesmerizing thriller about a husband whose wife disappears, along with everything he thought he knew about their life together. David Harwood, a reporter in Promise Falls, New York, is stressed out. The newspaper he works for is outsourcing jobs to India, he can't get a solid lead on the corrupt for-profit prison moving to town, and his wife, Jan, is struggling with a bout of depression. As a much-needed break, David and Jan decide to take their four-year-old son, Ethan, to a local amusement park for a day of ice cream, rollercoasters, and carefree fun. But revelry is quickly replaced by panic when, within an hour of arriving at the park, Ethan goes missing. Though he is soon found, panic escalates to full-blown terror when Jan suddenly disappears. Confused and worried, David finds himself desperately searching for any clue that could lead him to his wife - even if it means unraveling a tangle of lies and deception that become more complicated at every turn. From the Hardcover edition.

A few hours into my 4th book for my #MrBook1InAMillion #LitsyPartyOfOne #24B4Monday #readathon & I‘m ready for bed. It‘s 7.30am Sunday here and I‘m buggered. Picking up an audiobook to go to sleep with, not sure which one yet, I‘ll let you know. How‘s everyone else‘s readathon going? I‘ve already picked up some stack adds from some of you!🙌

A great read to end my first time participating I. A read-a-thin. The story is fast paced, has an interesting cast of characters, a a few great unexpected turns. Barclay knows how to serve up a good mystery that doesn‘t fall into a formulaic pattern. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Big thanks to Team Slaughter for letting me participate. #24B4Monday. #teamslaughter.

Andrew65 Fantastic, been great to have you join us. Hope you‘ll join us again for the last weekend in November. 👏👏👏🥳 5y
Come-read-with-me @Andrew65 I enjoyed it and probably will join the November one. However, I need to figure out how to correctly post my reading times. Do I do an overall total after I finish all my books or post one at a time (which I did this month?) Sorry for being a slow learner 🤔 5y
Andrew65 @Come-read-with-me Not a problem 😊 Most people tend to post the total time for all the books and their reading time, usually updating the total time so far when they finish a book or at the end of each day. Some do it by book and total all the time up. I just tend to total all my reading time. We are very easy going and let everyone do whatever works for them. Hope this clarifies it but if any other questions ask away. 👍 5y
Come-read-with-me @Andrew65 Thanks it does! 5y

This has been sitting on my TBR shelf for so long and it‘s one of those ones that after I read I think why did I not get to this sooner! It‘s not your typical murder mystery which I usually strictly read, but they‘re a plot twists along the way, and it gets you guessing.

Would have been a solid five stars if it wasn‘t for the unnecessary prison storyline. I skipped all of it after a while because I didn‘t care and it didn‘t do anything to move the story along. I have no idea if it picks back up in the following trilogy or not.

I have a very strong feeling this actually takes place in Saratoga Springs, NY area. It‘s amusing.
