Fear the Worst – Linwood Barclay (Book 15 for 2010)
So there was no time to start another book during the time I was reading Book 15 for 2010 Fear the Worst by Linwood Barclay because I couldn’t put this book down! I guess I’ll forgive Mr Barclay for not writing any more Zack Walker books if he keeps writing books as good as this one. The story starts one day when a divorced father Tim Blake questions his daughter, who is staying with him for the summer about some Versace sunglasses that she has. He questions her because he fears she may have stolen them. The result of his questioning is that she storms out of the house leaving the receipt on the kitchen table. Well, that night his daughter doesn’t come home and after receiving no phone calls or informationas to where she is! Tim sets out to find her and starts at her job a motel in town. When he asks about his daughter he is told that his daughter has never worked there! Soon the police locate her car abandoned in a mall parking lot in a neighboring town! The rest of the book revolves around Tim and his ex-wife’s frantic search to find their daughter!
As usual I love all of the characters in the book. But I particularly Tim, who as a desperate father fighting to find his daughter faces a Herculean task! As I said the book moves along quickly as the tension builds and I was up past my normal bedtime to finish the book!!
Definitely a 4.5 to 5 out of 5 stars and I can’t wait to read his current book Never Look Away
So if you’ve never read a Linwood Barclay book, check him out! As for me I’m number 12 in the que at the library to get the book , so I’m off to Wyoming and the new C.J. Box book Nowhere to Run!
