A Noise Downstairs by Linwood Barclay

What a fun, entertaining, page-turning suspense thriller that Barclay has written for our enjoyment! I've long been a fan, reading almost everything he's ever written, and this one does not disappoint! If you're looking for a compelling and enjoyable read this summer, pick this one.

Paul Davis is sort of a mess. He suffered serious head trauma when hit by a shovel after finding a colleague of his with two dead women in the back cargo area of a station wagon. Paul has a bit of PTSD along with some mental health issues, but he's seeing a therapist and starting to recover. Paul gets the notion that he will write about the events, visit the killer in prison, and get his life back. Someone has other ideas...NO SPOILERS.

Although I had some idea of where this one was going, it was still a well-written standalone novel with interesting characters and some great red herrings. For awhile, I wasn't sure I was right! This is definitely a book you can read in one sitting, it will be hard to put down, and had a very satisfying conclusion.

Thank you to LibraryThing and HarperCollins Publishers for the e-book ARC to read and review.
 

Standalone but set in Promise Falls.
