Far From True by Linwood Barclay

5.0

I like to read my series in chronological order. Nothing worse than to start reading a mystery only to realize I already know the long term answer because I read books out of order. Mr. Barclay likes to recycle his characters. While this is the second (full) book in the Promise Falls trilogy, the town and many of the characters have appeared in previous books: Too Close to Home (Mayor/ex-Mayor Finley), Never Look Away (David Harwood), A Tap on the Window (Cal Weaver). And, don't skip 1.5: Final Assignment either! But even if you do pick up a random book out of order, Mr. Barclay has found that perfect balance between providing enough background information for a new reader without alienating a previous reader. Or perhaps it is his intricate story lines with twists thrown in to keep the reader on their toes? Whatever it is, if you are a fan of suspense, intrigue, and great character development Far From True is a must for your reading list!
