Book Review: Broken Promise by Linwood Barclay, another stunner from the king of psychological thrillers (release date 10th September 2015)

David Harewood's cousin Marla gave birth to a still born child nearly a year ago so when David turns up at her house to discover her feeding a baby who she says was given to her by an angel and finds blood smears on the door he is understandably concerned.  When he finds a flier with an uptown address on it David suspects he's found the babies family, however when he arrives at the address he finds the mother murdered and suddenly Marla is in a lot of trouble.



The beauty of Linwood Barclay's stories is that are always based on the sort of events any of us could encounter, but

with an unfortunate twist the events become altogether more ominous and threatening.  Broken Promise is all about family, community and betrayed trust.  It grips you with it's characters, pulls you in with it's storylines and holds you in awe till the last page.  My only slight criticism would be that the cliffhanger at the end and some issues brought up in Broken Promise won't be resolved till his next book which can't come too soon for me.
Available on kindle £9.99 and HB £12.91
