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

Edge of my seat!

If you could sum up You're Next in three words, what would they be?

Intense...very good.

What was one of the most memorable moments of You're Next?

All moments between father and daughter.

Have you listened to any of Scott Brick’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes...but other one was a bio about Washington...this is so much better.

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

You never know what will happen next

Any additional comments?

To be honest I thought this would be a run of the mill murder story...NOT. I was very pleased with the story and the reading.

This is a real 5 star book in every way

BRAVO!!!Hurwitz I not good but a brilliant writer. He makes language visual and come alive at the same time. His characters are so life like you want the story to go on and on. Scott Brick is exactly the right narrator for this author.

Your next?

Maybe I've been listening to too many audio books lately, but I kept getting distracted while listening and usually that means I'm not into it. I had to keep going back cause I wasn't paying attention. But still a good good book. Could of just been me. I had a lot going on.

Great cast of characters

Loved the original story and really enjoyed the characters. Another good book for my commuting. This story was entertaining and got you into the story right away which is good for my short attention span. The narration was good as well.
