My first venture into the world of Linwood Barclay, and the last. Plot looked good, suggestions of a thriller, R & J recommended. First few chapters were intriguing, set the scene, character introductions etc. The we seem to have the a total mind numbingly boring centre piece which totally fails to build any tension. Then you are faced with the end. Felt like last orders had been called and the writer just wanted to pack up and go home. I find this author has a very immature style, along with strange intricate details that have no use - except page filling and padding. Really wouldn't bother, if it's a thriller or a page turner you want stick with James Patterson.
