This book was so much fun to read! I couldn't put it down, it was like a great roller coaster ride-a laugh-out-loud adrenaline rush! I like Linwood Barclay's thrillers that I have read very much, but this was so different from those and I was very pleasantly surprised! It reminded me of my favorite Hitchcock movie "North By Northwest" just because he (Zack Walker) was his own worst enemy and just kept digging a deeper hole than I could possibly imagine he could get out of. The plot kept thickening so much it amazed me and it wrapped up nicely. This book is now on my Top 10 of all time (and I have read alot of books). I will definitely be reading the rest of the Zack Walker books. I highly recommend this book!

Over-protective dad, Zack Walker, decides that city living is too dangerous for his family so he decides to move to the peaceful suburbs. The tranquillity doesn't last long as Zack stumbles upon a dead body and then things really start to get interesting.
This was a great read and had some laugh out loud moments. I really look forward to his next one. Highly recommend!

Wow!! What a FANTASTIC book! I loved it! This is definitely the best book of Barclay's that I have read so far (and this is the start of a four-book series, which is very exciting!). The plot held many unpredictable twists and turns; the characters were not only fully-fleshed out, they were likable and unique. And best (if not most surprising) of all, the book was HILARIOUS! I can't remember the last time a novel had me laughing out loud so much! It was such a fun read! I absolutely adored it!
