Richard Boyle is a teacher who finds himself front and center on the news, after a very serious incident on the school grounds. He's a hero to many, but there are others with a different opinion...
This is one of the reasons I love Barclay's suspense. An ordinary guy dropped into a crazy, unbelievable situation. He can handle what's going on - right? Well you know what's going to happen don't you? He can't control it - and things start to spin out of control. There's a wealth of twists and turns that I hadn't couldn't have expected or predicted. I love being surprised by an author. And Barclay does with every book.
Making things even better is the cast of supporting players - some good, some bad, but all with a hand in the action. Most of those players have a voice with their own take on things.
Another great suspense tale from Barclay - I can see this one as a show series! See for yourself - read an excerpt of I Will Ruin You.

New author for me. Thanks for the review.
That's great Mystica - he has lots of books to choose from - I've read them all!
Linwood Barclay never disappoints, does he? "I Will Ruin You" sounds like another gripping thriller from him!
No, he never does. Neither does Harlan Coben - I'm just reading his latest, Think Twice, and loving it!
