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

All around....Greatness, even the narrator

Anybody who’s a Greg Hurwitz fan, this too will not disappoint! Suspenseful and surprising, emotional and heart warming; reminds me of a what a true father will do for his family and we’re reminded of what a REAL “Good Man” is! Loved it. And Narration was good and not silly, the changes in voices felt natural and not clownish!

Best Suspense Novel Yet !

Would you listen to You're Next again? Why?

Definitely worth listening to again. The first listen is too full of tension on the listener's end. Want to hear it again and pick up even more threads of this great plot.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Shep: Loyal, dependable, forgiving, brings solutions to the situations - not more problems. Forges ahead despite the many strikes already against him.

Which character ??? as performed by Scott Brick ??? was your favorite?

Shep: Scott Brick portrays this person so very realistically. Having worked with hearing impaired individuals, Scott Brick performs Shep's speech in a realistic, believable manner, leaving the listener with a clear

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Definitely

Any additional comments?

Looking forward to more books by this author.

couldn't put it down

What made the experience of listening to You're Next the most enjoyable?

Great story, great characters, well read, couldn't put this book down. Couldn't figure out where the story was headed for the longest time but instead of getting frustrated I was totally engaged. Stayed up all night to hear the plot unfold… it actually unfolds a couple of times … loved this book.

Good suspense, but not the best

A very vanilla story. Not the best suspense novel out there but not the worst. I listen to audiobooks when I run and while it got me through the run I didn't listen to it between runs and I had a tough time remembering it just now for this review.

Great performance by Scott Brick

This book is really good. I especially like the the friend and daughter. Scott Brick did a wonderful job with these two characters. It should be made into a movie.

Great Story

Good narration
When you are driving down the road listening to this book and beating your fist on the steering wheel saying "Go get Cat, go get Cat!" You know the author has really pulled you into the story!
