À propos de cet audio

The New York Times best-selling author of Elevator Pitch and master of psychological suspense returns with a riveting thriller in which the possible heirs of a dying tech millionaire are mysteriously being eliminated, one by one.

"Find You First starts with a bang and ends with an even bigger one.... It’s the best book of his career.” (Stephen King)

Tech millionaire Miles Cookson has more money than he can ever spend and everything he could dream of - except time. He has recently been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and there is a 50 percent chance that it can be passed on to the next generation. For Miles, this means taking a long hard look at his past....

Two decades ago, a young, struggling Miles was a sperm donor. Somewhere out there, he has kids - nine of them. And they might be about to inherit both the good and the bad from him - maybe his fortune, or maybe something much worse.

As Miles begins to search for the children he’s never known, aspiring film documentarian Chloe Swanson embarks on a quest to find her biological father, armed with the knowledge that 22 years ago, her mother used a New York sperm bank to become pregnant.

When Miles and Chloe eventually connect, their excitement at finding each other is overshadowed by a series of mysterious and terrifying events. One by one, Miles’ other potential heirs are vanishing - every trace of them wiped, like they never existed at all. Who is the vicious killer - another heir methodically erasing rivals? Or is something even more sinister going on? It’s a deadly race against time....

Linwood Barclay, by this point, has a formula he uses to pen down nail-biting suspense thrillers. There are several people from different walks of life. Rich and poor, politically influential and the barely noticeable, old and young to name a few. All live their separate lives but at some point, their lives intersect all at once and something always goes wrong. Barclay has definitely honed his skills in the art of finesse and provides minute, sometimes mundane, details that add that little bit extra to character development and build-up towards a great climax.

This book is no exception. There are no Cal Weaver and Barry Duckworth but its another roller coaster ride that you don't want to stop.

Barclay at his best

Linwood Barclay didn’t disappoint! Didn’t want it to end and had me guessing right to the end! Can’t wait for my next credit to find another if his books.

Another great book

This Linwood Barclay offering is likely his best work - combining his signature clever plotting and strikingly realistic characters with a remarkably lighthearted storytelling approach (despite the violent seriousness of the subject matter). A Tech Billionaire races to find his offspring - the result of a remote sperm donation to a fertility clinic - before multiple others can kidnap/murder them and dispose of any residual DNA.
Character reactions are a little melodramatic at times, but Barclay leads his readers through a truly entertaining cinematic adventure that reminded me of 'The Big Lebowski' or 'Fargo'.

As to presentation: Reader George Newbern presents the book with unimpeachable diction, timbre, cadence, and voice-acting.. but an also near-psychic understanding of the author's intended tone. This is an outstanding listener experience.

Altogether, 'Find You First' rates 9 stars out of 10. Do not hesitate to spend the Credit.

Great storyline! Was sad that it ended. Would have liked more differentiation between character voices, but overall loved it! My favorite Barclay book so far!

Loved it!

The story was quite interesting and kept me hooked until the end. The writing was good, too. The only qualm I have with this book is that I wish the characters would have gotten more time to get to know one another. I loved Miles and Chloe’s non-traditional father-daughter relationship but would have liked to see it develop more. Excited to read more of this author’s books, though!

Miles, you loveable man

Story: The story itself was very enjoyable. Like most of LB's other books, it's an easy listen with interesting characters and a fairly compelling storyline. I wasn't bored once while listening to it.

Narration: I have a touch of misophonia; I'm quite sensitive to certain sounds like sniffing, mouth-smacking when eating, and of course heavy breathing noises, to the point that I get unreasonably tense/anxious/irritated. Unfortunately this narrator had the habit of gasping loudly for breath after most sentences, and sometimes even in the middle of a sentence. It drove me nuts and made me want to return the book multiple times. I only kept going because I was really enjoying the story and wanted to see how it ended. I basically could only listen while driving and at a low volume, so the background driving sounds toned down or partially drowned out the gasping noises. I'm really surprised that the sound editor didn't notice this, or that the narrator wasn't instructed early on to stop gasping. Seriously, at some points it sounded like someone had been holding his head underwater and he had been unable to breathe for several minutes.

Other than that, the narration was passable. His voice was pleasant to listen to but there was very little effort made to distinguish between the voices of all the different characters.

It's totally worth a listen if you can ignore the gasping!

Gaspingly good story! Misophonics beware.
