Staff Review: Take Your Breath Away

Title/Author: Take Your Breath Away - Linwood Barclay

Genre(s): Mystery, Crime Fiction, Psychological Thrillers

Andrew Mason went through the unthinkable: His wife Brie disappeared, and everyone assumed he’d gotten away with her murder. Now, six years after his world fell apart, Andrew is finally in a position where he’s moving on with his life, until a woman with a striking resemblance to Brie shows up at his door, demanding to know what happened to her house, Andrew if forced to question: Is his wife alive, and if so, where’s she been??

Linwood Barclay is as close to a sure thing in crime fiction as anything you’ve read. No B.S., nothing fancy, just airtight plotting, surprisingly nuanced characters, and lots of moves. A great ‘dram and a hammock’ book!

Title/Author: The Winter Wives - Linden MacIntyre

This guy never misses. High testosterone, secrecy between couples and from each other, the two male leads play out on a field laced with ambition and admiration. This is a big book that moves quickly and ends with a bang!
