LB has a knack for laying out those breadcrumbs meticulously, ensuring that they are all collected by the end of the book. It’s a thrilling read that concludes with a satisfying twist. I highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy fast-paced and engaging literature.
Linwood Barclay is always just a little bit over the top, and provides an edge-of-your-seat thrill ride from beginning to end. Gripping and funny.

So many plot twists that I didn't see coming!
I'm pretty sure this was my first venture into Linwood Barclay's world, and I was hooked from the time I pressed play that first time, until I removed my AirPods after the final chapter and wondered to myself what I had just listened to!
Tense and frantic, I was pulled this way and that as chapter after chapter brought more surprises and WTF moments. I felt for Richard, our protagonist, as he has to spend the entirety of the book trying to prove his innocence, whilst investigating just what the hell is going on. This seems to be a theme right now for my books!
Fancy an adrenaline rush, where at the end of the book, you'll physically feel like you experienced absolutely everything, then grab yourself a copy of I Will Ruin You. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Thank you to Harper Collins UK and Libro FM for the opportunity to listen to and review I Will Ruin You by Linwood Barclay.
