Broken Promise by Linwood Barclay

4.0

This was a really fun read. One of those 'can't put it down' books. But what's with all these 2 and 3 book series nowadays? Mr. Barclay, please just write a book and finish it. You can use the same characters next time, but it just pains me to read a book and find out it's really only HALF a book. Plus, if I'm buying half a book, charge me half price. I guess this generates more revenue, but it seems slightly dishonest to me. I feel rather cheated that I have to buy another book just to get the end of this one. Take a page from Lee Child or Brett Battles. I promise I'll buy your books, just give me a real full story in each one. Cliffhangers? Nope! This is for real just half a book.

Having said that, Linwood Barclay is still a really good writer. His characters are complex and interesting, and his plots, even though you must seriously suspend your disbelief, are fun.
