Take Your Breath Away by Linwood Barclay
3.0
I was actually disappointed with this one.
This is my third Barclay book, the previous two were solid 5 stars ("Find You First" and "A Noise Downstairs") and found this one a bit of a letdown. The pacing is slower than the two previous books, and didn't really take to it until 60% or so in. This is more small-scale, domestic-y (think a Lisa Lippmann or B.A. Paris sort) than the darker tone, I had been expecting from Barclay. The story is good, but I saw it coming since there weren't as many twists and the tensions were mid.
Nevertheless, I will continue subbing and smashing the like button of Barclay's future books.
