Find You First by Linwood Barclay

You know you’re in safe hands when you settle down with a Linwood Barclay novel, and Find You First is no different. Layered with nuance, in it Barclay turns the idea of someone searching for their biological father completely on its head – this time it’s father – and Tech billionaire – Miles, looking for his possible children, all of whom are suddenly in grave danger. A vibrant cast of characters come from all walks of life in a relatable crosssection of society, posing questions about money, power, reputation and happiness. Meanwhile, cleverly concurrent plots play out the dichotomy of good and evil – an exercise in the ageold ‘nature vs nurture’ debate. This classic race-against-time thriller is somewhat predictable, but superbly entertaining and deliciously enjoyable nonetheless.
