Fear The Worst
Linwood Barclay
Orion
How would you feel showing up to where you thought your daughter had been working all summer only to be told she never worked there. Worst still how would you feel if your daughter was now missing? This is the nightmare Tim Blake, a Toyota car salesman, faces when his 17-year-old daughter Sydney who was staying with him for the summer, goes to work one day and fails to come home. So begins a mystery with more high speed twists and turns than the wildest rollercoaster. At every turn, there are new complications and more question marks all of which conspire to keep Tim away from finding his daughter.
At the heart of the story is Tim’s overwhelming love for his daughter and his guilt at not having been the best possible father to her. As he delves deeper into his daughter’s disappearance, he finds out Syd and her friends may have been involved in some shady business lead by very dangerous people. These people, Tim soon finds out are just as determined as he is to find Syd.
Fear the Worst is a rollicking page-turner that sticks to the reader’s fingers like superglue and refuse to let go till the very last page.
