Find You First

A Novel

De: Linwood Barclay

Narrado por: George Newbern

The New York Times best-selling author of Elevator Pitch and master of psychological suspense returns with a riveting thriller in which the possible heirs of a dying tech millionaire are mysteriously being eliminated, one by one.

"Find You First starts with a bang and ends with an even bigger one.... It’s the best book of his career.” (Stephen King)

Tech millionaire Miles Cookson has more money than he can ever spend and everything he could dream of - except time. He has recently been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and there is a 50 percent chance that it can be passed on to the next generation. For Miles, this means taking a long hard look at his past....

Two decades ago, a young, struggling Miles was a sperm donor. Somewhere out there, he has kids - nine of them. And they might be about to inherit both the good and the bad from him - maybe his fortune, or maybe something much worse.

As Miles begins to search for the children he’s never known, aspiring film documentarian Chloe Swanson embarks on a quest to find her biological father, armed with the knowledge that 22 years ago, her mother used a New York sperm bank to become pregnant.

When Miles and Chloe eventually connect, their excitement at finding each other is overshadowed by a series of mysterious and terrifying events. One by one, Miles’ other potential heirs are vanishing - every trace of them wiped, like they never existed at all. Who is the vicious killer - another heir methodically erasing rivals? Or is something even more sinister going on? It’s a deadly race against time....

Enjoyable listen

Well-written story with interesting characters and unique plot. The narrator was perfect for the story.

Terminal illness isn't all bad

I would have given this book 5 stars but it went on a bit long for my taste and it has a lot of characters to keep track of, however it was a very good book. I found myself trying to figure out what was happening next only to be thrown a curveball. Nice twists and turn. I recommend it to anyone liking this genre. I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Super read!

I don’t usually write reviews, but this story was excellent. I like liking the characters and there were a couple I liked very much. I also appreciate goodness, kindness and loyalty. If you do too, you’ll enjoy this book.

Really good

The narrator is awesome! Don’t ever let him go. Good story. Mr Newbern is a real asset.

Very entertaining

It was really fun! Great entertainment! Thanks a million! I’ll recommend to my friends 4 sure!

Excellent, exciting, heartfelt.

It keeps you interested and on your toes. You care about the protagonists and dislike the antagonists, as intended.

The narrator is easy to understand and has a pleasant voice.

Great “QWERKY” novel

I really enjoyed this unusual suspense novel. No way to predict what may happen next and very well done. Glad I took the time!

Find You First

I had no idea what the story would be when I purchased this book. I'm glad I listened to this story as my former wife was afflicted with Huntington's and so our children must deal with the thought of suffering what they saw their mother go through.

Top notch

First book by this amazing author. Could not stop listening. First thriller that had me in tears at the final sentence. Wish there was a little less sex and language, but other than that perfect. Will read more by this author! Very good narration as well.

Fabulous!

This took me a short while to get completely engrossed but when I was…wow! Every time I figured out what was going to happen, the book moved in a different direction. It was marvelous.

The characters were brilliantly written. The narration, which I initially found a bit annoying, turned out to be delightful. And a Winnebago ??? I loved this book.
