Book Description:
If you made a mistake that took someone's life, you'd remember it . . . wouldn't you?
After a tragedy rocks the community of Promise Falls, Cal Weaver is asked to investigate the threats being made to the accused's family. He's heard all about it on the news: the young man who drank too much, stole a Porsche and killed a girl, and who claimed afterwards not to remember a single thing. The whole town is outraged that he got off lightly, but for reasons Cal can't explain, he accepts the job. Then Cal finds himself caught up in a vicious revenge plot, chasing someone set on delivering retribution. In Cal's experience, it's only ever a matter of time before threats turn into action. . . .
A gripping thriller packed with scandal, from the master of the twist you never saw coming.
My Review:
It seems that the Promise Falls trilogy is not really over as this book is considered the 4th book in the series and also a standalone. I would read the trilogy first before reading this one though, as there are lots of references to the trilogy. I found this book to be very entertaining and crazy, as most of Barclay's books are, but I enjoyed it very much. The characters are unique and fascinating. The plot has two storylines that end up coming together making this book a real page turner towards the end. The last page was a complete unexpected surprise but a brilliant ending to a good book. This book makes me want to pull off my shelf all the Barclay books that I have not read yet as I think I need to read him again and again. I would highly recommend this book to those who love mystery thrillers with humor.
