Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Bad Guys; Zack Walker is a semi-successful (accent on the semi) science fiction writer whose primary vocation is reporting for The Metropolitan. He has a wife who happens to be his boss at the newspaper, a teenage son and daughter who are for the most part. Bad Move introduces Linwood's reluctant hero, Zack Walker, a science fiction writer and perpetually worried father who moves his family from the dangerous city to the peaceful suburbs, and runs headlong into the law of unintended consequence. The Walker family's change of scene doesn't bring about tranquility, but it does introduce them. "Fans of the crime caper will rejoice" that Linwood Barclay is back with the hilarious follow-up to his "riotously funny and irreverent"* debut, in which paranoid pop Zack Walker plotted to transplant his city-savvy wife and two teenage kids to the tranquillity of the burbs-where planned communities.
If Walker seems familiar, he should be, even if you did not read BAD MOVE, Linwood Barclay's debut novel; Walker, or someone very much like him, probably lives across the street from you. His problem is that he occasionally stumbles across stories that get him into trouble; the entertainment is watching him get into and out of a jam lethal or otherwise over and over throughout the course of a novel. He is the #1 internationally bestselling author of many critically acclaimed novels, including The Accident, Never Look Away, Fear the Worst, Too Close to Home, and No Time for Goodbye. Multiple titles have been optioned for film. “Barclay successfully balances the comical and serious aspects of the story, keeping readers interested in both Walker’s investigation and his home life. Though written with a light touch, the novel is gripping when it counts, and includes a very nicely handled twist ending. All in all, Bad Guys makes for a good time.
