Leider war das Buch von Anfang an nicht besonders spannend. Die Geschichte um die Frau, die im Eis mit dem Auto versinkt war nur eine Nebengeschichte, die nur kurz erwähnt und danach nie wieder aufgenommen wurde. Eigentlich kann man dieses Buch als eine Art "Spin-off" zum ersten Buch Barclays (Ohne ein Wort) betrachten, wo die Hauptfigur dieses Romans, eine kleine Nebenrolle spielte. Wieso er dieser kleinen Rolle ein ganzes Buch widmen wollte, ist mir unklar.Das Buch ließ sich zwar zügig lesen, aber es war wie gesagt, von Anfang an klar, worum es hier geht und das fand ich ein bisschen schade. Having never read anything by Linwood Barclay it's fair to say I had no expectations when I picked this little book up. I would never have imagined that in just one day I would devour every last page and be desperate for more.The story revolves around Keisha Ceylon, a self-professed psychic who has visions of people in trouble. Or so she claims... The truth is she is nothing more than a con artist who seizes the opportunity to exploit the desperate families of missing people. Her latest victim is a man she has seen on TV begging for his wife to return. Keisha is unable to let such an opportunity pass by and so she pays him a visit. However, her so called "gift" quickly becomes a curse when her "vision" hits a little too close to the truth and what transpires next is a whirlwind of drama and deception that means no one is safe! This book, more a short story than a novel, is so gripping it is impossible to end a chapter and not want to continue. It is the perfect quick summer read and I now look forward to reading a lot more from Linwood Barclay!
What do You think about Frag Die Toten: Thriller (2013)?
Meh is all I can really say. Nowhere near as good as his other books.

Great fast paced read. Twists in such a way that it's almost comedic.
