I read NEVER LOOK AWAY with a reading buddy in my online book club, The Reading Cove--and I'm happy to say it delivers on everything you want in a sharply focused and expertly plotted domestic thriller!

Once I started, it was super hard to put down because the mystery of what goes down with David Harwood and his wife Jan in the prologue is so compelling!

There's really not much else to say without spoilers, but I loved how textured and layered the plot was--and how Linwood Barclay kept cleverly tying things together while keeping the plot twists coming! I dare anyone to predict how this all turns out!

And the best part? He sells it and makes it plausible! Unlike other contrived and sophomoric assembly line nonsense you have to turn your brain off for, NEVER LOOK AWAY bristles with a dedicated author's skill and passion for taking the time to put together an intelligent narrative, with little need for the suspension of disbelief.

So, obviously, I highly recommend this one! It's a fast read that keeps you guessing right up to the end! 4/5 stars!
