Donna Stoll asked Linwood Barclay:

Hi Linwood: I'm new to Goodreads and have thoroughly enjoyed all of Harlan Coben's stand-alones. I was happy to see that Goodreads gives a "similar author" genre to explore. So, I will be reading you next! I have been reading the plots of your books, which sound very interesting. Which book do you think is your best and who are some of your favorite authors???

Kim Ramirez
Kim Ramirez asked Linwood Barclay:

I'm a huge fan and super excited to see Elevator Pitch available for pre-order on Amazon, whoohoo! Any idea when the Audible version might be available?

Kimberly
Kimberly asked Linwood Barclay:
