A Very Engaging Well-narrated Thriller-Mystery!

It had me from the first sentence. . . and that exhilarating feeling didn't quit through the whole book. Barclay's writing is so natural and flows so realistically that the story is plausible throughout. Zeisler's narration is excellent. . so easy to listen for hours on end.

This is about a private detective, a couple in mourning, a small town, and a group of young adults mixed up in a story that centers around a rotten-to-the core cop. The untold secrets of the characters keep the story running and imaginations churning.

I can highly recommend this one!

Kept me guessing

Linwood Barclay has a way with Whodunit! Some characters more fully portrayed than others but otherwise great suspenseful writing.

Excellent !!!

I’ve never read a book by Linwood Barclay but thanks to this one I definitely will!
As for the narration, as far as I’m concerned it was spot on!!!! Mark Zeisler did a wonderful job.

God Read

This story kept my interest. The main character was strong yet sympathetic. I appreciated a mystery that wasn't gory. I will look for other books by this author.

Suspenseful with surprises

I liked the way the story played out. Suspenseful, with surprises. I thought the descriptions of the characters fit well with the smallish, northeastern town.
The narrators voice was pretty monotone, without expression, which did get boring. But at times in the story, monotone was fitting.

Pulse-Pounding Suspense..

This is a pulse-pounding, suspenseful story about Cal Weaver, a private detective living in a small town with corrupted officials. Everybody has secrets, and it's the exposure of individual secrets that kept the story moving at a good pace, and the people's tongue wagging and everybody's imagination running wild.

I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery thriller. Cal Weaver makes a foolish decision based on the memory of his dead son. With that decision, Cal is drawn into a mystery of death and sadness. Secrets are revealed one by one with a few unexpected twists and turns. Ending was unexpected and very sad.

Narrator Mark Zeisler has a slightly husky mature voice. His performance is good but his limited range of voices/tones made it hard to distinguish who was speaking from time to time, but overall okay.

Recommend....

Can't wait to dive into the next Barclay Book!

The story was great and so was the narration. I love Linwood's style of writing. There were a couple times with the addition of new characters I got confused and had to go back in book to remember who they were. However I did still really enjoy it.

New to me author

I've never heard of this author but I'm definitely going to look for another book by him. I'm a native of Rochester, New York so it was especially fun to read a book that was taking place in my area. Having said that, I just loved all the twists and turns that took place. It kept me on the edge of my seat right up to the very end. Loved it!

Wonderful

What a tangled web this story weaves. From the very start there are hints and questions and it will keep you on your toes until the very end.

Excellent!

One of my favorite authors. Love his stories and all the twists they take. Characters are so well developed
