Never Look Away
Never Look Away by Linwood Barclay.
Linwood Barclay is back, with another unputdownable masterpiece of suspense.
It starts with a family outing to a local amusement park. David Harwood is hoping a care-free day at Five Mountains with their four-year- old son Ethan will help dispel his wife Jan’s recent depression. Instead, the day turns into a nightmare when Jan disappears from the park. But when he goes to the police to report her missing, terrified that she’s planning to take her own life, the facts start to indicate something very different.
The park’s records show that only two tickets were purchased, David and Ethan’s, and CCTV shows no evidence that Jan ever entered the park at all. David’s story starts to look suspicious – suspicious enough for the police to wonder if she’s already dead, murdered by her husband.
To prove his innocence and keep his son from being taken away from him, David is going to have to dig deep into the past and come face to face with a terrible childhood tragedy – but by doing that he could risk destroying everything precious to him.

Over the Teacups
My four-year-old grandson was at the supermarket with his mother when he exclaimed, “You’re buying something, Mummy, auntie is buying something – I want to buy something!” Mum replied, “You have to be big, have a wife, have a job, then you can buy things.” He replied, “I have a wife – Maia,” meaning his four-year-old friend. Mum said, “What about a job?” Master Four replied, “My job is having a wife!”

Water you want?
I was in the car and asking Master Three what he wanted for Christmas. He said he was going to ask Santa for a water pistol. “And Nanny,” he added, “I’m going to ask for some water for our paddling pool.” Now that could be interesting!

Bee gone
Master Three had his first bee sting recently. The incident broke his heart, but after many cuddles he came right. Later he said, “I never want to see another bee again. I don’t like bees any more, I only like flies.”

Fraud with worry
My daughter warned me that “old people are being taken for a ride,” and that I shouldn’t engage in conversation with phone sales people. To this, Master Five piped up, “Nana can’t go on that ride, she’s old.”
