Never Look Away

De: Linwood Barclay

Narrado por: Jeffrey Cummings

A warm summer Saturday. An amusement park. David Harwood is glad to be spending some quality time with his wife, Jan, and their four-year-old son. But what begins as a pleasant family outing turns into a nightmare after an inexplicable disappearance. A frantic search only leads to an even more shocking and harrowing turn of events.

Until this terrifying moment, David Harwood is just a small-town reporter in need of a break. Then he gets a lead that just might be the answer to his prayers: a potential scandal involving a controversial development project for the outskirts of this picturesque upstate New York town. It’s a hot-button issue, but strangely, David’s editors keep shooting it down. Why?

That's a question no longer at the top of David’s list. Now the only thing he cares about is restoring his family. Desperate for any clue, David dives into his own investigation—and into a web of lies and deceit. For with every new piece of evidence he uncovers, David finds more questions—and moves ever closer to a shattering truth.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A terrifically fast-paced suspense story." ( The Washington Post)

Very Enjoyable Listen

The story was very engrossing all the way through. The end worked great too. I thought the narrator was just fine too.

Good listen.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Yes - it is great for a lazy listen or a beach read, as are most of Barclay's books.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I would not.

What about Jeffrey Cummings’s performance did you like?

He was perfectly cast for this story and did a great job with his characterizations.

Was Never Look Away worth the listening time?

Yes - it is loaded with twists and turns (some a bit predicable perhaps) that keep you interested and is great light reading or listening.

Any additional comments?

Very satisfied with this audio book.

Horrible Narrator!!!

The overall story was great, especially towards the end. But the narrator was horrible. He made female voices for male characters, he made the 4 year old son sound like a toddler. One character voice he did sounded like Frosty the Snowman. If they redid this book with a new narrator, it would be a lot better.

Ah The Married Life For Me

Another great thriller from Barclay. Good action and a really good plot. As always, his characters are well developed. I really like these characters and that always makes me want to finish the book.

However, I did notice a pattern in Barclay’s books that I’ve read so far. Some of the married women have extreme defects, bitch too much, are somewhat cruel, etc. And the men seem to put up with it for far too long. And the men seem to acquiesce and re-express their love instead of trying to solve underlying issues. It’s the behavior/plot that keeps on giving.

Narration was ok on this with some of the women’s voices performed poorly. Some of the children’s voices are creepy as well.

Good story but could have been shorter

The story picks up at a fast pace in the last few chapters but frankly, the story dragged on too long with mundane dialog in the middle. It could have been about 4 chapters shorter without losing any detail or suspense.
