Helpful Score: 2
This was my first Linwood Barclay book and certainly won't be my last! I found the characters to be well developed, several twists that I hadn't seen coming, and even a tragic and surprising ending. There were times I found myself laughing out loud (heaven only knows what the people at the next table at the restaurant thought!), cheering on Cal Weaver in his hard tactics to find out who sold his son the last drugs he took before he ended up dead, and at the end, I even found myself tearing up. To me, if a book or movie can bring out those emotions, than it is perfect. I'm already on the search for my next Barclay book!
