Review "Linwood Barclays I Will Ruin You is a page-turner that also has important things to say. Youll get your moneys worth out of this one." -- Stephen King"I Will Ruin You is Mr. Barclays 25thmystery-suspense novel, and he deftly manipulates its overlapping elements and whiplash twists in ways that should impress and astonish even his veteran readers." -- Wall Street Journal"Linwood Barclay is a flat-out master of the modern thriller, and I Will Ruin You is impossible to put down. You need this book in your life." -- David Koepp, author of Aurora"A Connecticut high school teacher stops a mass murder only to be targeted by a blackmailer in this hair-raising standalone from bestseller Barclay (The Lie Maker)... Barclay makes his protagonists plight devastatingly immediate, and keeps readers on tenterhooks throughout. This is difficult to put down." -- Publishers Weekly"Barclays new book is a well-written and suspenseful thriller. Yet, its more than that: it is, mostly due to a single, mind-blowing revelation, probably the best book hes ever written.... In addition to the story, which is pure gold, the author also gives us some of his most irresistible characters, including not just his protagonist, but also the supporting players, some of whom are keeping some interesting secrets. A standout novel from a writer who, like Harlan Coben, always delivers the goods." -- Booklist"I Will Ruin You is filled with so many plot twists that rooting for Richard will become a perilous task with so much stacked against him. Its a must-read for those who love psychological thrillers, and Barclay shows once again why he is a master of the genre." -- Bookreporter"Linwood Barclay does this all superbly: Hitchcock-type stuff for a new century" -- Winnipeg Free Press on I Will Ruin You"[Barclay] takes readers on an emotional roller coaster of deft plot twists and what-the-hell?! moments. I Will Ruin You will indeed ruin you--or at least your sleep schedule until youve reached the end. Barclay proves once again that hes at the top of his game." -- Mystery Scene on I Will Ruin You"A vein of humor runs through The Lie Maker, lightening the mood of a menacing tale...It takes a gifted writer to perfectly balance all the suspense, wit, violence and poignance in a book such as this. Lucky for us, Mr. Barclay is one of the best in the business." -- Wall Street Journal"Barclay (Look Both Ways) nails this riveting standalone thriller about a washed-up writers search for his long-lost parent... Barclay expertly knits the strands together and constructs a fully realized everyman in Givins. Crafty plotting and rich characters make this a winner." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Lie Maker"[The Lie Maker] is filled with such imaginative plot twists and turns that it becomes physically impossible to put the book down at any point.... It is easily one of the best thrillers of 2023!" -- Bookreporter.com"The latest thriller from Barclay asks the reader to accept a slightly out-there premise but delivers a tightly plotted, surprising novel that winds up explaining why the premise wasnt really so out-there at all. Its the kind of thriller Barclay does so well: a story that constantly changes direction and forces readers to reconsider their notions of what the book is actually about. We soon find, when reading Barclay, that its better simply to put ourselves in the authors hands and enjoy the ride, because trying to guess whats going to happen is a fruitless exercise." -- Booklist on The Lie Maker""Relentless...Barclay does a bang-up job of mixing and matching characters and plotlines and building suspense...Barclays latest is a fun ride...with dips and swerves that should delight his fans." -- Kirkus Reviews on The Lie Maker?"A twisty tale of skullduggery....[Barclay is] a pro." -- Library Journal on The Lie Maker Details ISBN0063276313 Publisher HarperCollins Publishers Inc Year 2024 ISBN-13 9780063276314 Format Hardcover Imprint Collins Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States Audience General Publication Date 2024-05-07 US Release Date 2024-05-07 DEWEY 813.54 Pages 352 Imprint US William Morrow Publisher US HarperCollins Author Linwood Barclay We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
