What to expect

'One of the world's finest thriller writers on the top of his game. A Noise Downstairs is a blinder - his best yet'
PETER JAMES



* * * * *

EVERY STEP...
Paul Davis forgets things - he gets confused, he has sudden panic attacks. But he wasn't always like this.

TAKES YOU CLOSER...
Eight months ago, Paul found two dead bodies in the back of a co-worker's car. He was attacked, left for dead, and has been slowly recovering ever since. His wife tries her best but fears the worst...

TO THE TRUTH...
Therapy helps during the days, but at night he hears things - impossible things - that no one else can. That nobody else believes. Either he's losing his mind - or someone wants him to think he is.

Just because he's paranoid doesn't mean it's not happening...

Critics Review

a creepy and compelling standalone.. Barclay expertly weaves together the various plot strands to reach a wholly unexpected conclusion.
THE GUARDIAN
cunning.. twist-packed
SUNDAY TIMES
The king of the thriller returns with this spooky tale of a man recovering from serious trauma who starts to hear noises in the night.
THE INDEPENDENT
With a tight plot, delivered in short, punchy chapters, it's hard to resist racing through - to the final twist.
SUNDAY MIRROR
One of the world's finest thriller writers on the top of his game. A Noise Downstairs is a blinder - his best yet
Peter James
Vintage Barclay - an utterly compelling read with a twist you won't see coming. I loved it!
Shari Lapena
Linwood Barclay's novels - as intelligent as Michael Connelly's, as compelling as Harlan Coben's - never fail to astonish. A Noise Downstairs, his best work yet, is a cobra of a story: smooth, slippery, unnerving . . . and likely to strike when you least expect it. I devoured this book
A.J. Finn
A suspense master
Stephen King
No one can thrill you and chill you better than Barclay
