About this listen

‘A page-turner… you’ll get your money’s worth out of this one’ Stephen King

'Riveting' Sunday Times

'Linwood Barclay is a flat-out master of the modern thriller, and I Will Ruin You is impossible to put down. You need this book in your life' David Koepp

WHEN IT'S LIFE OR DEATH, WHO CAN YOU TRUST?

Teacher Richard Boyle certainly never thought he would find himself talking down a former student intent on harming others, but when a former student shows up at school with a vest packed with explosives, he springs into action. Thanks to his quick thinking, Richard averts a major tragedy but his moment in the spotlight puts him in the sights of a deranged blackmailer with a score to settle…

As events rapidly spiral out of control, Richard is drawn into a tangled web of salacious accusations and deadly secrets. As he tries to uncover the truth, Richard discovers that there's something dangerously wrong in the town. Everyone in his life seems to be hiding something, and trusting the wrong person could cost him everything he loves.

International bestseller Linwood Barclay returns with a breathtaking new thriller.

Sometimes I have an author I’m dedicated to but just coast through their books to tick them off. This was an excellent listen. Great story. Definitely worth a listen.

I just love Linwood Barclay's books. This one did not dissapoint. I cared about Richard and what was happening to him. I didn't work out the ending and there were some shocking moments too. The narration was perfect! Top marks for all!!!

Another gripping adventure and narration

This was a bit slow for me and not up to the usually gripping plot I usually associate with LB. The twist at the end was good though, I didn’t see that coming

Not his best

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
A breathless caper. Slightly unsettled by the use of child molestation and school shootings/violence as plot points without really engaging or interrogating. Mostly this came across as a farce.

All a bit silly, really.

I've listened and read nearly all of this author's books and I have to say this has been my least favourite. I my opinion the plot is not as good or plausible as in his other books.

Not as good as his other bokks
