Hello, here in Macedonia we are little confused about order to read your books. Can you tell us how is the best order to read? I've started to read series like is showed on goodreads, but someone telling us and standalone novels are linked with series...
Linwood Barclay
For the most part, the books are standalones and order doesn't matter. There are some exceptions, however. My Zack Walker novels are best read in order -- Bad Move, Bad Guys, Lone Wolf and Stone Rain. (Those last two were renamed Bad Luck and Bad News in the UK.) My Promise Falls trilogy (Broken Promise, Far From True, The Twenty-Three) must be read in order. There is a followup to those three with a novel called Parting Shot. It's kind of related, but not essential to be read after the other three. Some trilogy characters do show up in my earlier novels Too Close to Home and Never Look Away. Hope that helps!

Any chance there is more from Promise Falls in the works? I really liked that series. And just finished Fear The Worst. Made me so glad my kids are all grown up. It's hard to not be fearful when there seem to be so many perils that are hard to make plans to counteract. It was a terrific read though. Thanks for all the good reads.

I do enjoy your stories. I do cringe every time parents and children swear at each other. I have been known to throw out the f word, but I don’t swear at my children and don’t know people who think it is ok to do so.Why do ALL of your characters regularly speak to each other in such a way? Is that how people you know talk to their children?
