Never Look Away by Linwood Barclay

Jade Rating: 4/5

David Harwood, a local newspaper journalist is ready to spend a pleasant day in the new local amusement park with his son and wife Jan when out of the blue, his wife disappears. Whilst the police investigate the disappearance of Harwood's wife, increasing evidence points towards him being responsible. Determined to uncover the truth, Harwood launches into a personal investigation and unveils some uncomfortable truths that lead him to believe that his wife may not be who he thought she was. A tale of kidnap, intrigue, murder and despair, Barclay maintains the suspense throughout the book and uses his usual formula to maintain audience interest.

Barclay remains one of my favourite authors, but I found myself predicting how the story would be unfolding. Despite this, he still offers cliffhangers and leaves you wanting to keep reading to find out what happens.
