Synopsis
The worst day of Tim Blake's life started out with him making breakfast for his seventeen-year-old daughter Sydney. Syd was staying with him while she worked a summer job - even if he wasn't entirely sure what her job at the Just Inn Time motel actually was - and Tim hoped this quality father-daughter time would somehow help her deal with his divorce. When she didn't arrive home at her usual time, he thought she'd probably gone to the mall to hang with her friends. When she didn't answer her phone he began to worry. When she didn't come home at all, he began to panic. And when the people at the Just Inn Time said they had no Sydney Blake working at the motel and never had, he began to see his life going into freefall. If she hadn't been working at the Just Inn Time every day, what had she been doing? Something she couldn't - or wouldn't - tell her own father about? Only one thing has him convinced the worst hasn't already happened: the fact that some very scary people seem just as eager as he is to find her. The question is: who's going to find her first?
Review
This audio version of Linwood Barclay's book 'Fear the Worst' is very intense and I found myself being glued to the cd player, even when a friend came round! I had to shove her out in the garden with one of my daughters so I could get to the end of disc 3! How mad is that!
Jeff Harding is brilliant at conveying the terror that character Tim Blake goes through when his daughter Sydney (Syd) goes missing and of course in the process you can't not play the cds back to back until you get to the end.
I more than highly recommend this audio book - a great one to take on a long car journey or even doing some quilting as I was doing!
