About this listen

Every step...

Paul Davis forgets things - he gets confused, he has sudden panic attacks. But he wasn't always like this.

Takes you closer...

Eight months ago, Paul found two dead bodies in the back of a coworker's car. He was attacked, left for dead, and has been slowly recovering ever since. His wife tries her best but fears the worst....

To the truth...

Therapy helps during the days, but at night he hears things - impossible things - that no one else can. That nobody else believes. Either he's losing his mind - or someone wants him to think he is.

Just because he's paranoid doesn't mean it's not happening....

Not his best

Story was a bit unsophisticated and silly. Narrator was superb. Not one of his best I’m afraid.

Weak storyline

I do appreciate Linwood Barclay novels but this was not one of the best. When you guess what is going on, which is not difficult, it gets to be quite tedious. However, I held on and made it to the end and the convoluted finale.

Full of suspense

This was my first time to listen to a Linwood Barclay book on audible and it sure won’t be my last . I loved it . The narrator was excellent and the story was brilliant with lots of suspense and a few red herrings thrown in .

Decent Yarn

A decent yarn but was able to work it all it a bit too easily and I am usually crap at doing that.
