Publisher's summary

Mike Wingate, abandoned by his father at four and raised in foster care, is finally living the life he always dreamed of - he's happily married with a precocious 8-year-old daughter, and his construction company is about to finish a "green" housing development that will secure a solid future for them all. But then something from his own past, a past he doesn't even remember, comes back to visit terror upon him and his family.

Shady characters begin threatening Mike, and when he reports them, the police seem more interested in Mike's murky past than in protecting him. Now, with Mike, his wife Annabel and daughter Kat suddenly under attack from all sides, Mike turns to Shep, a dangerous man - and Mike's only true friend - from his childhood days in foster care. Together they will do whatever it takes to protect Mike's family against the hidden men behind the terrifying warning, "You're Next."

Critic reviews

"Excellent...keeps Mike (and the reader) on edge, wondering what is happening to him and how far it will escalate. Highly recommended to Hurwitz’s many faithful readers and to fans of Linwood Barclay, Harlen Coben, and Lisa Gardner." --Booklist

"The bad guys are suitably evil and the mystery satisfying, but Hurwitz’s real success is depicting Mike’s hard-won life as a husband, father, and successful businessman. A first-rate thriller!" --Library Journal (starred review)

"Hurwitz masterfully provokes feelings of extreme dread...Shep and Mike fight and sleuth their way through intensifying mayhem until they find the unexpected answer...." --Publishers Weekly

Intense

My first Gregg Hurwitz novel but definitely not my last.
This was an audio book for me and was hard for me to turn off and put away.
Well narrated by Scott Brig (?).
Intense, suspenseful, dramatic.
Grab on and hold tight.
Off now to decide on my next Hurwitz novel

I have not read the print version.

What other book might you compare You're Next to and why?

They're Watching

What does Scott Brick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His tone and he revs up the exciting moments, but does not go overboard.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

A thrilling roller coaster ride.

Any additional comments?

A thrilling roller coaster ride that flings you high only for the thrilling dip.
