A missing woman. A husband suspected.

The truth will … Take Your Breath Away

It’s always the husband, isn’t it?

When his wife Brie vanishes from their home one night, never to be seen again, people assume Andy got away with murder. The police can’t build a case against him, but still his friends and neighbours abandon him.

Six years later, Andy’s life is back on track, and he’s settled with a new girlfriend. And when he hears his old house has been bulldozed and rebuilt, he’s not bothered. Things are good.

But then one day, a woman who looks like Brie shows up at their old address, screaming ‘Where’s my house? What happened to my house?’ before vanishing as quickly as she appeared.

And as dark suspicions resurface, Andy’s future depends on discovering what the hell is going on. The trick is staying alive long enough to find out…

An Absolute Cracker of a Read

Reviewed in Australia on 22 February 2022

Verified Purchase

As another reviewer stated, this authors books are so spellbinding that you tend to read them too quickly because you can’t put them down. That’s the negative .. as for the positive, I’ve read every single thing this author has published and he’s by far my favourite author. This book however, was outstandingly good. I can usually figure out the bad guy fairly quickly, and the reasons they’ve done what they did, but not this one. It wasn’t until near the end that I twigged where Andrew was going with Isabel, that I realised who the culprit was.. and then the reason for his actions was a surprise as well. As if that wasn’t enough, another shock in the last chapter to cap it off, with some ingenious actions by the main player. All in all, a cleverly written book with an amazing plot and a host of possible wrongdoers. I’ve never not enjoyed Mr Barclay’s books, but this one was an absolute cracker of a read and I’d thoroughly recommend it. Now for the other negative .. I’ll have to wait an age for his next book, but I’ll try to stretch it out a bit next time and not read it in one day, to the detriment of housework and cooking dinner !

I couldn’t put this down and finished it in a day. This is seriously a great read. I’d recommend this to anyone. Stephen King was right.

The ending was a crazy ride and I couldn't quite believe what I was reading. Sensational!

Reviewed in Australia on 6 February 2022

Linwood Barclay is an author whose books are guaranteed to have me turning pages well into the night. Take Your Breath Away had me ignoring life from the start until the last page. We are immediately drawn into the story and the mystery and I could not get enough. With multiple characters and points of view, you never quite know who to trust. Who is telling the truth? When all the characters have something to hide it will keep you guessing. The ending was a crazy ride and I couldn't quite believe what I was reading. Sensational!

When a woman going missing, it is always the husband right? Even when that husband is away at his cabin, hours away, fishing with his best friend. 6 years ago, Brie Mason disappeared in the middle of the night, without a trace. Her husband, Andrew, is still the top of the suspect pool. He has finally gotten his life back on track after losing his wife, and as a consequence, his business and almost his life. He now has a new partner and life is good. Until the call comes that Brie has been spotted.... or has she?

Another fantastic read from Linwood Barclay. Highly recommend to all crime and thriller lovers - this one loved it.

Loved this book!!

Reviewed in Australia on 3 February 2022

I so loved this book, it captured my imagination right from the first chapter until the very last page. I enjoyed how the author, a new one to me, has written this captivating story with so many twists, turns and different plots going on, it made my head spin, in a good way.

What happens when one day you go on a fishing trip kissing your wife goodbye, only to come home and find her gone, never to be seen again. Having eventually moved on and now in a new relationship life is looking up for Andrew, but his past is about to come hurling back full force to once again disrupt his whole life and devastate him all over again.
I felt for Andrew in this story, I trusted him and liked him, his character seemed very genuine.
This was a wonderfully written story that had me guessing who might be responsible and who was not. In fact, I was so sure I was right but I was so, so wrong. It is a very clever multi-layered story, and the book literally did take my breath away. Fantastic and an absolute must-read.

CAPTIVATING SUSPENSE

Reviewed in Australia on 4 February 2022

This book was compulsive reading. I couldn't put it down. It was my first book by Linwood and definately wont be my last. He is the king of suspense and I know why. This book moved at a fast pace and kept you hanging at the end of every chapter. The characters were very well created . So many characters involved in the storyline. You were suspicious of each and everyone of them and their motives. This book is read as a standalone. The actual plot is about a woman who goes missing 6 years ago and then she is starting to be seen around town. There are many people with motives to get rid of her. Its all about secrets and most of them are hiding something. So many twists and turns in this book, you will be pulled one way and then another. This book was very unpredictable and that is the way I like it. Each chapter is narrated by different characters and they are short chapters which makes the book interesting. It will have you guessing who it is right up to the ending.

There’s two problems with Linwood Barclay

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 February 2022

Verified Purchase

As usual, I was very excited to see a new release coming. Also as usual, I had the same two problems that I have with every LB book.
1. I can’t ever pace myself enough to make it last more than a couple of days.
2. He needs to find a way to write approximately 52 books a year to satisfy my constant literary requirements.
This one was very intriguing although I had a few suspicions that were more or less correct. I didn’t enjoy it any less though and couldn’t stop myself from turning the pages. Now I have another 51 weeks to go ☹️

Excellent! Linwood does it again!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 March 2022

Verified Purchase

I loved this book. I always set aside ‘protected’ time in order to devour Linwood’s new releases and he never fails to deliver an excellent and engaging read with plenty of twists and turns along the way. Linwood’s pacing is always excellent and you can’t wait to turn the page to find out what is going to happen next.
Well done Mr Barclay!
Also, it’s such a refreshing change to see an author describing animals/creatures in such a positive way. As an animal lover myself, I can never finish a book which has any undertones of animal abuse and it was lovely to read a story in which they were described in such a positive/humane way.

Wooden characters and clunky plot

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 February 2022

Verified Purchase

I’ve never read anything by this author before and I don’t think I will read any more. It was disappointing.
The characters were all rather two dimensional and the dialogue was functional at best. The descriptive passages were there to move the plot along but just didn’t bring the story to life. I take my hat off to anyone who can write a novel, I certainly couldn’t, but for a reader to really engage with the writing there has to be more than just a story. The author says he wrote it during lockdown. It’s funny but that’s exactly how the book feels, like life during lockdown - sort of unreal and half-lived!
I’m really surprised by all the great reviews and by the price of the kindle book.

Linwood Barclay does it again!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 February 2022

Verified Purchase

I had pre ordered this book and couldn't wait for it to arrive. I am a huge fan of this author.
I tried to ration myself to a couple of chapters each evening, but in the end gave in and finished it on the second night!
I did have a suspicion of the culprit, but this in no way spoiled it for me. The characters were interesting and the p.ot beautifully worked.
Now it have ages to wait for the next Linwood Barclay to arrive.

Absolute rubbish.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 March 2022

Verified Purchase

The plot is ridiculous, and the characters just cardboard cut-outs. However, what annoyed me most was the number of typos, in particular the various spellings of the name Deirdre, who wasn't even an important character. If the publishers are too lazy to proof read, a book is not worth reading.
