NO TIME FOR GOODBYE, by Linwood Barclay

(originally posted on July 26, 2007)

I'm reluctant to tag any book as the Next Big Thing in Thrillers, but I'd say Barclay's standalone novel - which I read in one continuous sitting late at night when I was supposed to be asleep - comes awfully close. The concept is high, the execution is down-to-earth and the plot twists will really make you wonder about family relationships. Look for it at the end of September.
