"Linwood Barclay''s I Will Ruin You is a page-turner that also has important things to say. You''ll get your money''s worth out of this one." -- Stephen King "Linwood Barclay is a flat-out master of the modern thriller, and I Will Ruin You is impossible to put down. You need this book in your life." -- David Koepp, author of Aurora "I Will Ruin You is Mr. Barclay''s 25 th mystery-suspense novel, and he deftly manipulates its overlapping elements and whiplash twists in ways that should impress and astonish even his veteran readers." -- Wall Street Journal "A Connecticut high school teacher stops a mass murder only to be targeted by a blackmailer in this hair-raising standalone from bestseller Barclay ( The Lie Maker )... Barclay makes his protagonist''s plight devastatingly immediate, and keeps readers on tenterhooks throughout. This is difficult to put down." -- Publishers Weekly "Barclay''s new book is a well-written and suspenseful thriller. Yet, it''s more than that: it is, mostly due to a single, mind-blowing revelation, probably the best book he''s ever written.... In addition to the story, which is pure gold, the author also gives us some of his most irresistible characters, including not just his protagonist, but also the supporting players, some of whom are keeping some interesting secrets. A standout novel from a writer who, like Harlan Coben, always delivers the goods." -- Booklist "[Barclay] takes readers on an emotional roller coaster of deft plot twists and what-the-hell?! moments. I Will Ruin You will indeed ruin you--or at least your sleep schedule until you''ve reached the end. Barclay proves once again that he''s at the top of his game." -- Mystery Scene on I Will Ruin You " I Will Ruin You is filled with so many plot twists that rooting for Richard will become a perilous task with so much stacked against him. It''s a must-read for those who love psychological thrillers, and Barclay shows once again why he is a master of the genre." -- Bookreporter "A vein of humor runs through The Lie Maker , lightening the mood of a menacing tale...It takes a gifted writer to perfectly balance all the suspense, wit, violence and poignance in a book such as this. Lucky for us, Mr. Barclay is one of the best in the business." -- Wall Street Journal "Barclay ( Look Both Ways ) nails this riveting standalone thriller about a washed-up writer''s search for his long-lost parent... Barclay expertly knits the strands together and constructs a fully realized everyman in Givins. Crafty plotting and rich characters make this a winner." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Lie Maker "[ The Lie Maker ] is filled with such imaginative plot twists and turns that it becomes physically impossible to put the book down at any point.... It is easily one of the best thrillers of 2023!" -- Bookreporter.com "The latest thriller from Barclay asks the reader to accept a slightly out-there premise but delivers a tightly plotted, surprising novel that winds up explaining why the premise wasn''t really so out-there at all. It''s the kind of thriller Barclay does so well: a story that constantly changes direction and forces readers to reconsider their notions of what the book is actually about. We soon find, when reading Barclay, that it''s better simply to put ourselves in the author''s hands and enjoy the ride, because trying to guess what''s going to happen is a fruitless exercise." -- Booklist on The Lie Maker ?"A twisty tale of skullduggery....[Barclay is] a pro." -- Library Journal on The Lie Mak...
