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

Kept me coming back for a few more minutes of listening

Great story line and as always, highly engaging narration by Scott Brick. I'm ready for my next Gregg Hurwitz download.

Scott Brick is flawless

Good story. Scott brings the characters to life! Never a dull moment. My fav character was Mike's friend Shep.

Suspense from the get go

Hurwitz hits a Homer with this book. Why would anyone want to wipe out a perfectly ordinary family? Why indeed. Narration is outstanding. Story line is fantastic.

Good book!

This is the first Gregg Hurwitz book I've read, and I've really enjoyed the story and the narration. I'm looking forward to more from both.

GREAT!!

This was the first novel I've read by this author, but it won't be the only. A little slow on the up start, but, great once it got rolling.

To each his own

Bought this because Scott Brick said it was THE BEST. While I have enjoyed his reading of my favorite authors, I regret taking his advice on this one. Too much horror thriller and not so much mystery.

WOW! WOW! WOW!

What did you love best about You're Next?

The story line was superb. It moved along great and gave you everything you needed at every twist and turn. I could not stop listening. I laughed and I cried and I felt every single emotion from every character. With the right narrator (Scott Brick) the audio just comes to life.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I love all of the characters. But for some reason I fell in love with Shep. It was just something about his character that made me want to be his friend, even though he as a criminal.

What about Scott Brick’s performance did you like?

I want Scott Brick to narrate all of the books that I listen to. I love this guy!

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

When all you have is your family no amount of money can come between you.

Any additional comments?

I love this book!

Intriguing from the start!

The author and narrator can sure keep a person listening! So very real and frightening.
