I didn't think it was written well, fairly predictable and overall just was not into it :/

A short quick blast of a read, which was just what the doctor ordered as I'm currently stuck in a book that I'm having a hard time with and needed a break. This is my first Linwood Barclay book read, and the story kept me captivated the whole read. I finished the book in 75 mins, which was to be expected being a 'galaxy quick reads' book. The story flowed well and didn't feel rushed due to the length of the book. Mainly set around an interaction between a 'psychic' and a client, this book manages to be well written and descriptive, conjuring good imagery without complex plot lines or landscapes. There even managed to be a twist at the end. Id certainly read more of this author.

Una historia corta y que entretiene, no más que eso. Tenemos una "vidente" a la que le sale el tiro por la culata. Desde el vamos sabemos que las cosas no van bien, solo quizás nos sorprenda al final, el pequeño giro de los acontecimientos. Si no fuera porque ya he leído otro libro de este autor, me hubiera decepcionado y quizás no le diera otra oportunidad, si solo conociera este, con ello quiero decir que en este caso estuvo muy floja la historia.

Such a great (and short) novella, I hardly had time to read it before it was done. I have always liked Barclay (shout out to being CANADIAN!!) and this one did not disappoint. Barclay sets the scene quickly and then uses each chapter to focus in on the three main characters, offering narration in the third person from their point of view.
The story was good... the plot held my attention... I liked how he worked things into the story, both essential and window dressing. And, of course, the true Barclay feature, a massive twist in the end. Alas, you will have to read it to find out!

So disappointing. Just ended with no warning, felt incomplete. I dislike short stories anyways, but this one was bad.

Considering it was a 'Quick Read' I gave this 4 stars. No, it doesn't have an amazing story-line with lots of twists but it's less than 100 pages long and is still brilliantly written and had a good, readable story to it.
