Pretty good thriller. There were a few spots I thought "really" but I enjoyed the pace and the story. ( )

Hay veces en que el peligro se oculta donde menos lo esperas…

Una cálida tarde de sábado. Un parque de diversiones. David Harwood tiene esperanzas de que un día sin preocupaciones ayudará a disipar la reciente depresión de su esposa, Jan, que la ha llevado a contemplar el suicidio. Pero el día de diversión con el hijo de ambos, Ethan, se convierte en una pesadilla.
Cuando Jan desparece del parque, los peores miedos de David parecen haberse vuelto reales. Acude a la policía para denunciar su desaparición, pero los hechos comienzan a indicar algo muy diferente. Los registros del parque indican que solamente vendieron dos boletos y las cámaras de circuito cerrado no muestran pruebas de que Jan haya ingresado en el sitio. De repente, la historia de David comienza a resultar sospechosa y la policía se pregunta si Jan no estará muerta, asesinada por su esposo.
Para demostrar su inocencia y evitar que le quiten a su hijo, David tendrá que desenterrar el pasado y enfrentarse a una terrible tragedia de la infancia, pero si lo hace, corre el riesgo de destruir todo aquello que tiene valor para él.

Quando tutto ciò che conta è salvare la tua famiglia, il pericolo si nasconde dove meno te lo aspetti. È un caldo pomeriggio d’estate e, come promesso, David e Jan portano il loro figlio Ethan, di quattro anni, al parco dei divertimenti. Una giornata scacciapensieri, per staccare dai problemi quotidiani e godersi un po’ di tempo in famiglia. A un tratto però, il peggiore incubo di qualunque genitore si avvera. Jan si siede su un muretto solo per allacciarsi una scarpa, ma basta quell’attimo di distrazione perché Ethan scompaia nel nulla. I minuti che passano prima di scoprire che si trattava di un falso allarme sembrano eterni. Ma David ha appena il tempo di riprendersi dallo shock che un’altra scoperta lo sconvolge: questa volta è sua moglie a essere sparita. Da quel momento, la vita di David si trasforma in un incubo, anche perché, non essendoci traccia della donna nelle registrazioni delle telecamere di sicurezza, è su di lui che si concentrano i primi sospetti della polizia. Per dimostrare la propria innocenza e ritrovare Jan è costretto ad accantonare un delicato caso di tangenti che stava seguendo per conto del giornale locale. Ma scavando nella vita della moglie sono molte le cose di lei che scopre di ignorare. E se fosse proprio tra quei segreti che si annidano le risposte che cerca? Solo che ora David non è più così sicuro di volerle conoscere. ( )

I give it 4 1/2 stars. It starts a little slow, but that's probably normal. However, after it got going, I had trouble putting it down. The poor protagonist, David Harwood, was really having a lot of bad days, starting with his son going missing at an amusement park, then being found but his wife went missing. That was bad enough, but when it began to look suspiciously like he was responsible, it just really got bad for him.

During all this, there was another story going on just to keep us from getting bored with the main story.

What's most amazing is that as bad as his wife was, with all of her misdeeds, I found myself feeling sorry for her at the end, hoping she would somehow get out from under her problems. I could never be a cop. ( )

Linwood Barclay is a great storyteller and this book starts slowly, but all the details and build-up make it worthwhile when the story changes and a woman and mother disappears and the search for her begins. To say more, would give away too much. Just sit down and read and enjoy the ride! ( )

For most of its 415 pages, the story moves at the speed of a downhill racer, but runs into sticky snow in the late chapters; in what should be a gripping climax to an otherwise gripping tale, the reader is subject to lengthy he-said, she-said rehashes of who did what to whom and why. The last twist, the one too many, is unconvincing.

But the characters feel real, and the plotting is otherwise ironclad; no Grisham-like plot-holes on this twisty road. Barclay also exhibits a nice sense of humour... Softer, more thoughtful. More Canadian.

 
As anyone who reads such books well knows, dreaming up suspense plots is much easier than resolving them. And frankly, David’s wife is best left missing. Once “Never Look Away” has to explain what happened to her, it becomes flat-out silly.
 
You're book was recommended by a friend, and he's right in saying this story is awesome. Why don't you try to join N0velStar's writing contest?
