About this listen

The New York Times best-selling author of Elevator Pitch and master of psychological suspense returns with a riveting thriller in which the possible heirs of a dying tech millionaire are mysteriously being eliminated, one by one.

"Find You First starts with a bang and ends with an even bigger one.... It’s the best book of his career.” (Stephen King)

Tech millionaire Miles Cookson has more money than he can ever spend and everything he could dream of - except time. He has recently been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and there is a 50 percent chance that it can be passed on to the next generation. For Miles, this means taking a long hard look at his past....

Two decades ago, a young, struggling Miles was a sperm donor. Somewhere out there, he has kids - nine of them. And they might be about to inherit both the good and the bad from him - maybe his fortune, or maybe something much worse.

As Miles begins to search for the children he’s never known, aspiring film documentarian Chloe Swanson embarks on a quest to find her biological father, armed with the knowledge that 22 years ago, her mother used a New York sperm bank to become pregnant.

When Miles and Chloe eventually connect, their excitement at finding each other is overshadowed by a series of mysterious and terrifying events. One by one, Miles’ other potential heirs are vanishing - every trace of them wiped, like they never existed at all. Who is the vicious killer - another heir methodically erasing rivals? Or is something even more sinister going on? It’s a deadly race against time....

This is one of those authors I can always count on for a good mystery. In the vein of Harlan Coben this author takes a “normal“ every day occurrence and makes a menacing story that captivates until the end.
The publisher’s summary is very comprehensive and gives away almost too much of the story. I won’t add to this or I might as well tell the ending!
The characters are believable and fleshed out. They’re flawed and don’t always make the right decisions which makes them more endearing and realistic. The plot is plausible if not feasible.
George Newbern does a great job narrating.
This book is VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I have never read anything by Linwood Barclays. All I can say is wow! This book was like a ride in a high speed race car. The narrator is excellent. The plot enthralling. I really enjoyed the ride. I probably will read all of this authors other books. I loved it!

Fast paced kept me on my toes

Have you ever watched one of the medical drama TV shows where a hijacked school filled with children rams into the emergency room at the local hospital during a power outage and law enforcement just had all their tires slashed so they could not get there… you know, totally unbelievable but you just couldn’t bring yourself to turn it off?
That’s what this book was like.
It was a very interesting storyline but about half way through became unbelievable.

The main characters were well developed. The narration was perfection. The storyline.. mmm… a bit much.
Entertaining, engaging although exaggerated.

Engaging - in an emergency room drama kind of way

As I said, when I first started reading I was not too impressed with where the story was going. Then I was able to start thinking what would I do if I were Miles. As the plot developed, it was populated with some pretty interesting characters. This story is right out of the headlines and does make one think about the unintended consequences of some of our emerging technology. The narrator was top rate. I did enjoy the conclusion.

When I started listening, I had doubts, but they went away.

Superbly written with twists and turns at every corner. Comparable to a dime Harlen Coben novel.

Outstanding
