I Will Ruin You | Linwood Barclay
4 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
In the latest novel from New York Times bestselling author Linwood Barclay, a teacher's act of heroism inadvertently makes him the target of a dangerous blackmailer who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.How would you react in a life-or-death situation?It's a question everyone asks themselves, but few have to face in real life. English teacher Richard Boyle certainly never thought he would find himself talking down a former student intent on harming others, but when Mark LeDrew shows up at Richard's school with a bomb strapped to his chest, Richard immediately jumps into action. Thanks to some quick thinking, he averts a major tragedy and is hailed as a hero, but not all the attention focused on him is positive.Richard's brief moment in the spotlight puts him in the sights of a deranged blackmailer with a score to settle. The situation rapidly spirals out of control, drawing Richard into a fraught web of salacious accusations and deadly secrets. As he tries to uncover the truth he discovers that there's something deeply wrong in the town--something that ties together Mark, the blackmailer, and a gang of ruthless drug dealers, and Richard has landed smack in the middle of it. He's desperate to find a way out, but everyone in his life seems to be hiding something, and trusting the wrong person could cost him everything he loves.What price will he pay for one good deed?

#petpeeve
This title has not existed since 1707….

julesG Understandable pet peeve, but, I suppose, the general American reader just knows this term. 3d
Ruthiella Yes, I would use it. I did not know it was wrong? So Queen Anne was the last Queen of England? 🤔 (edited) 3d
TrishB @julesG I know it just jars when I see it. I‘m not even a monarchist. 3d

TrishB @Ruthiella I‘m being very pedantic and fussy! Following the Acts of Union in 1707 it became an obsolete title. Anne was the last to have it. But I know people still use it all the time and don‘t realise the difference. 3d
Ruthiella @TrishB I love pedantic and fussy! 😂 3d
BarbaraBB So what should we call Kate in a few years? I‘m no monarchist either but am interested! 3d
TrishB @BarbaraBB Kate will be Queen Consort as it‘s not her title it‘s her husbands 🤷‍♀️ 3d
CSeydel I didn‘t know either! So what was Elizabeth Queen of all those years? 3d
TrishB @CSeydel the United Kingdom (and various Commonwealth realms). 3d
CSeydel Oh I see - that makes sense, of course 3d
BarbaraBB That makes sense indeed 🤦🏻‍♀️ 3d

A teacher saw outside the school with a bomb strapped to his body. The former student who had some difficulties with some teachers. He wants to get them together in one place. The teacher is able to save that situation. Deeper issues surface. Lots of trouble before the novel ends. A twist I didn‘t expect changed the ending. Well written 4.5/5

In Barclay‘s latest, a teacher intervenes in a dangerous situation, saving lives. Then he is approached and blackmailed, spiraling the story forward. I‘ve found this author to write consistently satisfying thrillers, and this one is no different. Total page-turner!

BarbaraBB I have never read him but am always looking for pageturning thriller authors. Do you have a suggestion which book to start with? 9mo
Hooked_on_books @BarbaraBB I think you could start anywhere with his books. My first read was A Noise Downstairs and it‘s went sent me looking for more of his books. This one‘s very good, too, but brand new and I don‘t know the European pub date. 9mo
BarbaraBB I will check them out, thanks! 9mo
BarbaraBB This one is already available in Europe so I think I‘ll try it! 9mo
