Linwood Barclay
À propos de cet audio
"Linwood Barclay's I Will Ruin You is a page-turner that also has important things to say. You'll get your money's worth out of this one."–Stephen King
In the latest novel from New York Times bestselling author Linwood Barclay, a teacher’s act of heroism inadvertently makes him the target of a dangerous blackmailer who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.
How would you react in a life-or-death situation?
It’s a question everyone asks themselves, but few have to face in real life. English teacher Richard Boyle certainly never thought he would find himself talking down a former student intent on harming others, but when Mark LeDrew shows up at Richard’s school with a bomb strapped to his chest, Richard immediately jumps into action. Thanks to some quick thinking, he averts a major tragedy and is hailed as a hero, but not all the attention focused on him is positive.
Richard’s brief moment in the spotlight puts him in the sights of a deranged blackmailer with a score to settle. The situation rapidly spirals out of control, drawing Richard into a fraught web of salacious accusations and deadly secrets. As he tries to uncover the truth he discovers that there’s something deeply wrong in the town—something that ties together Mark, the blackmailer, and a gang of ruthless drug dealers, and Richard has landed smack in the middle of it. He’s desperate to find a way out, but everyone in his life seems to be hiding something, and trusting the wrong person could cost him everything he loves.
What price will he pay for one good deed?

Histoire
When a Category 5 hurricane is poised to hit their coastal Florida town, the Davies family takes refuge in their waterfront manse. Marlowe, Lee, and their teenage twins invite their close friends to wait out the storm in comfort and style. Uninvited are the three strangers who dock on the family’s shore right before the storm descends. Brothers Jason and Bo—and Bo’s girlfriend, Darcy—are a charming, helpful trio in need of a safe haven that the Davies are only too happy to provide. But as the storm outside grows more threatening, so does the tension in the house.

She also knows her once charming town is now remembered for one reason and one reason only: three innocent people died there at the hands of a serial killer.

In an impulsive burst, Mona bounds out the door with the family dog in tow (“I forgot the parsley!” is her lame excuse) to find her estranged mentor, Milton Katz, who was recently forced out of the legendary theater company he founded.

Widower Luke Driskell didn’t expect to fall in love and marry again so quickly. But Ashley and her daughter, Joy, are special—a quality borne out when Ashley rushes into a burning day-care center to save the children. Immediately she’s a social media sensation and hero. Then, just as suddenly, Ashley and Joy disappear into the bitterly cold night. With no trace of their whereabouts, Luke begins a panicked investigation. Alarmingly, he can find no proof that the woman he loves even exists. Left behind: just a hidden stash of fake IDs. Different names. Different cities. Same haunted face.

How Have I Not Heard of Linwood Barclay?!
I only stumbled across this book because it was a Daily Deal on Audible. I hadn’t heard of the author before, but the story seemed like it might be interesting. So, despite a few negative reviews on this particular book, I gave it a try.
I am sure glad I did, because Barclay is a truly engaging writer. The way he unfolds a story is masterful, pulling you in from start to finish. I didn’t ever want to stop, and looked forward with anticipation to continue later to see what would happen. His portrayal of ordinary people caught up in extraordinary circumstances makes it very relatable. He weaves in a lot of subtle humour and his descriptions of people’s thoughts and reactions to every situation are very believable.
I guess I’m not really saying much about this book in particular, but whether you’re already familiar with Barclay, or simply enjoy this type of story, you won’t be disappointed. I’m already half through one of his earlier books and have more on my wish list! One last comment would be on the narration. While I think it was unnecessary to have two different narrators in this case, both are very good and I will look forward to hearing more of their work in the future.

Characters were annoying and not believable.
Have enjoyed this author's other books, but this one fell short of my expectations. The main character's actions were just plain stupid. The plot was hardly believable. The narrator was overly dramatic and annoying. BIG disappointment.

Entertaining Book
This Linwood Barclay offering starts with a disturbed high schooler returning to his Alma Mater with a dynamite vest and proceeds to follow drug dealers, blackmailing scumbags, and murder. Barclay's signature thoughtful twisty storytelling and realistic supportable characters populate the book.. but jaw-droppingly bad decisions drive the plot. For evidently intelligent individuals with strong moral character - as Barclay writes so effectively - to make choices this bad is hard to swallow. The necessary suspension of disbelief to immerse one's self in the book is a real challenge.
Fortuitously for audiobook aficionados, readers George Newbern & Jonathan McClain trade off narration duties and provide spot-on performances - not flawless, mind you, but certainly well above-average.
''I Will Ruin You' rates 6 stars out of 10. It's one of the weaker entries in the Linwood Barclay catalog.. but you may have better luck than I did in setting aside logic. Regardless, it's worth your Credit.
