I'm still a huge fan of Linwood Barclay's (think he's heaps and bounds cleverer than the as of now more popular Harlan Coben), but I have to say A Tap on the Window was a disappointment.
The premise was very contrived. The protagonist, Cal Weaver, just wasn't believable to me and so failed to engage my interest or sympathy for the situation and events he consciously walked himself right into. When you're rolling your eyes when you should be feeling tension...well, that's not good.
So I can't recommend this one. Just not his best. Check out The Accident or Never Look Away instead. 2.25 stars. Meh.
