Linwood Barclay
"Linwood Barclay's I Will Ruin You is a page-turner that also has important things to say. You'll get your money's worth out of this one."–Stephen King
In the latest novel from New York Times bestselling author Linwood Barclay, a teacher’s act of heroism inadvertently makes him the target of a dangerous blackmailer who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.
How would you react in a life-or-death situation?
It’s a question everyone asks themselves, but few have to face in real life. English teacher Richard Boyle certainly never thought he would find himself talking down a former student intent on harming others, but when Mark LeDrew shows up at Richard’s school with a bomb strapped to his chest, Richard immediately jumps into action. Thanks to some quick thinking, he averts a major tragedy and is hailed as a hero, but not all the attention focused on him is positive.
Richard’s brief moment in the spotlight puts him in the sights of a deranged blackmailer with a score to settle. The situation rapidly spirals out of control, drawing Richard into a fraught web of salacious accusations and deadly secrets. As he tries to uncover the truth he discovers that there’s something deeply wrong in the town—something that ties together Mark, the blackmailer, and a gang of ruthless drug dealers, and Richard has landed smack in the middle of it. He’s desperate to find a way out, but everyone in his life seems to be hiding something, and trusting the wrong person could cost him everything he loves.
What price will he pay for one good deed?

What I like about his stories is that I can easily imagine me in place of one of the characters or as an amalgamation of characters. Part of me could be Richard, a dedicated English teacher, who wants to expose his students to something outside of the boring required reading list. In my case I assigned Blindness by Jose Saramago to a middle schooler I was mentoring. Aside from the fascinating story itself the entire novel has no punctuation. It could have been me who on an ordinary day spots something curious out of the corner of my eye as my gazed flashed across the school room window during my class. It could have been any teacher that acted on their protective instinct to stop what threatened to cause great harm to the entire school. It could have been any teacher who found themselves labeled as hero in those circumstances while at the same time blamed for something innocent like giving a comforting hug to a grieving student that was misinterpreted as molestation. The mere suggestion followed up by an insinuating photo circulated on Facebook could permanently ruin my reputation as well as that of my family members.
I like it that Barclay sprinkles his stories with references to real events and books by other authors I’ve read, kind of like the arcane references slipped into a Law and Order episode.
The narrator of the audiobook version did a splendid job.
I can’t wait for his next book.
