FEAR THE WORST

Tim Blake and his 17-year-old daughter have a disagreement at breakfast. That night she doesn't come home. Tim is doing everything he can think of to find his daughter. The police aren't especially helpful - until Sidney's car is found and there is blood on it from a man who was found murdered. His ex-wife isn't so sure that Tim isn't to blame but eventually, she sees that there are things going on that cannot be explained and she is also frantic to find their daughter. The more Tim works to find Sydney, the more complicated things become and the more convinced the police seem to be that Tim isn't as innocent as he claims.

This is my first book by Linwood Barclay. I will certainly be looking for more of his books. This book was filled with plenty of twists and turns. Sometimes, the police seemed to be unusually stupid and suspicious but all in all, Barclay keeps the reader intrigued. There is always the thought in the back of the reader's mind. What would I do if my child were missing and no one would help me find her?

Rating - 4.5 stars
