What is the last book you read that you couldn’t put down?
I read Take Your Breath Away by Linwood Barclay over
Memorial Day weekend. I couldn’t put
this book down!
Six years ago, Andrew Mason was on a fishing trip over
the weekend and his wife Brie disappeared.
As the husband, he is the prime suspect, but the police are never able
to pin the crime on him. Andrew changes
his last name and attempts to start his life over. Then a woman that appears to be Brie shows up
with groceries at the site of their former home. As sightings of the woman appear around town,
Andrew wonders, has Brie returned? Where
has she been for six years? How is he
going to break the news to his current girlfriend?
Take Your Breath away is a fast-paced thriller and I
greatly enjoyed the story and the characters.
I did not guess the ending of this one, there were many plausible well
developed red herrings. The book was well
written building layer upon layer of the story in a fascinating way. I loved the visual descriptions such as Brie
leaving flour on the floor to look for mice but waking up to find a man shaped
footprint in it right before the first scene goes black. I really wanted to know what happened to Brie
and I did get a resolution.
Overall, Take Your Breath Away is a riveting
thriller. I highly recommend it!
