A strange and wild ride. This was a quirky and unusual suspense thriller with several unexpected twists and bumps along the way. Once you begin this book, you won't be able to quit until you find out how it ends.

Fast paced and thrilling, Linwood Barclay never disappoints. Ultra rich Miles Cookson is terminally ill. Years ago he was a sperm donor multiple times. He sets off to find his offspring the same time Chloe, a sperm donor baby is trying to find her father.

I’ve been a regular reader of Linwood Barclay’s books for several years, generally awarding 4 or 5 stars, so I was pleased to get a copy of Find You First from William Morrow and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. And I tried. More than once. I kept thinking maybe being home for more than nine months now has made me cranky...or impatient...or just not into another woman in danger story.Or possibly a story about someone with an incurable illness just hit too close to home for me right now.

What it really came down to was that I just didn’t much care. The story opens with a gazillionaire in the tech world gets diagnosed with a terminal illness...and it’s a 50-50 chance that any children of his would inherit the disease. No problem for a childless man, right? But oops when he was young, he had made a few bucks from donating his sperm. And the result was nine children.

Coincidentally, a young woman who is trying to make a documentary film about her search for her biological father. Of course, she was the product of her mother using the services of a sperm bank. Put these two people together, add in that the potential heirs to the guy’s fortune are getting knocked off one by one. Like I said, I didn’t much care whether they were found, who was killing them, whether the woman found her bio-dad or the rich guy found his heirs. So, this is REALLY unusual for me with Linwood Barclay books, but I can only go two stars. I will definitely try Barclay’s next one, and hope that it really is just me.

I love Linwood Barclay and will read anything he writes. That said, this was an amazing ride and I could not put this down once I started reading. Absolutely loved the fast pace and how the many story lines came together at the (crazy, semi-unrealistic) ending. Cannot wait to recommend this book! Thank you to Barclay, NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy.

Linwood Barclay can do no wrong and always writes fantastic mysteries. This is just shows all his fans why he is one of the best mystery authors. Thankful to NetGalley for providing me a copy of this novel.
