Welcome to Litsy!

I‘d forgotten how much I liked this author and this was a cracker. Fast paced with multiple voices and threads there but still good characterisation and strong plot with more than a few twists along the way. A perfect read but for a sense of the ending being a little bit rushed.

The first read of the year did not disappoint! This book has so many twists and turns, you won‘t be able to put it down. Very engaging characters and incredible storytelling by Linwood Barclay - definitely recommend.

I'm 2 for 2 with this author and excited to keep plugging my way through his backlist! In this one, a wealthy man recently given a fatal genetic diagnosis decides to try and find his biological offspring (the result of a long ago sperm donation). But as he tracks them down it's clear someone else is too... because the people on the list are starting to meet foul play, one by one. I enjoyed the ride and give extra points for plot originality! 4⭐️

This is the second Barclay that I have read & thoroughly enjoyed. Although I saw a few of the twists, I was genuinely surprised by several others. Implausible at times, but a solid thriller. Will definitely be reading more by Barclay.

1) Started it this afternoon after my booster & now 300 pages in. Implausible? Absolutely. A total blast? Definitely.
2) I've used Goodreads for the past 5+ years but have recently become really dissatisfied with it. I honestly don't trust it as a long term tracking method, so I'm weighing my options.
3) The Sword of Truth. It was mentioned in a BookTube video that I was watching last night.

Good twisty thriller with some seriously warped characters!! Good stuff 👍🏻
Thanks Leah 😘

I read this book as it was recommended by Stephen King's Twitter account. My first time reading this author and I really enjoyed the plot along with the twists and turns. Enjoyable characters and the book moved along well. I'd read this author again!!

While I felt this thriller had few surprises (and I think the publisher‘s description gives far too much away), I still enjoyed the ride. I like Barclay‘s voice and bits of humor. If you‘ve liked his other books, I think you‘ll like this one!

I really enjoy Linwood Barclay‘s books. He writes well and I love the mystery thriller aspect of his chosen genre. Although I figured out the big mystery before the end I still didn‘t see half of the true ending.

I love Linwood Barclay's books and this one did not disappoint. It's a race against time and tech millionaire Miles Cookson has been diagnosed with a terminal illness. Two decades ago, Miles was a sperm donor. He thinks he may have nine children and he would like them to inherit his money. Chloe Swanson embarks on a quest to find her biological father. Her mother used a New York sperm bank to become pregnant 22 years ago.

I have been reading for decades and I just fully realized I hate Prologues. Ill read them then be slightly annoyed that the scene will basically show up again. I have started skipping them so nothing about the plot is given away.

This was fast-paced and thrilling with like able heroes and an interestingly familiar sounding main villain.. 👍🏻 I haven‘t read everything by Barclay, but the ones I have I love!

Up next!! He‘s always good so hopefully I‘ll have enough time before the hockey game to at least open this one!

A millionaire learns that he has Huntington's disease and feels that he must try to locate any children that had been born as a result 0f his sperm bank donation many years before. Someone else is also trying to find his offspring and eliminate them 1 by 1. Who will find them first?

Entertaining read. The story drew me in and kept me.turning pages.

What FAB book mail!!

Thank you @williammorrowbooks and #wmtastemakers

I do love Linwood Barclay and this was a good read. Not the most exciting but it was an enjoyable story and I loved the ending 😍

Can't believe I forgot about Barclays new book! One of my favourite authors aswell. Already started Before She Disappeared by Lisa Gardner and Invisible Girl by Lisa Jewell so it will have to wait 🤔

Another linwood barclay book that I couldn't put down. Can't recommend enough.

A few more hours read for #20in4 and one book finished so going better than I thought. Hoping for another quiet day to read.

I'm a big fan of Linwood Barclay and this story did not disappoint either. Its well written, detailed and creepy. The plot is steady but building to a cleverly, dramatic ending. There are some brilliant twists along the way, some I guessed and some I didn't. Chloe was my favourite character along with Charise, she was brilliant. Gotta love a strong female character who can kick buttr. #netgalley 5*
