Summary

They think as one. They act as one. They kill as one.

Look Both Ways is devilishly good – exciting, thrilling – Barclay at his best!’ SHARI LAPENA, No. 1 internationally bestselling author

The residents of Garrett Island are part of a ground-breaking experiment. For a month, their cars will be replaced by self-driving vehicles – voice-controlled, comfortable and safe.

Single mum Sandra is prepping for the huge media event, and she’s ready for a driverless future. Widowed after her husband fell asleep at the wheel, she’s relieved that her kids may never need to drive themselves.

But as the day gets underway, disaster strikes. A journalist vanishes, possibly murdered. And before long, it’s clear something is very wrong. The cars are no longer taking orders from their passengers. They’re starting to organise. They’re starting to hunt. And they’ve got the residents of Garrett Island in their sights.

From the Sunday Times Number One bestseller Linwood Barclay comes a breakneck new thriller, Look Both Ways.

PRAISE FOR LOOK BOTH WAYS:

Not the best from Linwood

I’m a fan of this author, but I felt this was one of his weaker offerings.
I didn’t really like the narrator, I found him a little nasally on delivery, although the performance overall was good.

I felt it was a bit predictable - single mum, two kids in peril etc etc.

It won’t stop me reading more of his work and I still don’t understand why his books aren’t all dramatised!

Note to self

This was not my favourite Linwood Barclay, it took them a long time to figure out some basic practicalities (trying not to give away spoilers), there was also a level of glee in people dying than I was quite comfortable with. Saying that I was engaged and it kept me going all the way through.

Not his best

I'm a big fan of Linwood Barclay I have all of his audios and most I've listened too more than once but Look both ways was a disappointment ,
narrator not good either hopefully his new one will match up to Promise Falls and his earlier books.

Another great story

I wasn’t sure that I’d like the subject matter as it sounded a bit futuristic for me but it wasn’t because it could’ve been set last week. I’ve loved all of the Author’s work and this was as good as anything I’ve read by him!
