Stone Rain Zack Walker Linwood Barclay Books

I have read, and enjoyed many of Barclay's books, and this is the second Zack Walker book. As usual, lots of witty observations about the newspaper industry, as well the ups and downs of Zack's family life.

However, this books has a bit of a darker element than some of his other books. I don't want to alarm fans of the Zack Walker books too much, his wife and children come out fine, but a couple of likable characters don't fare as well.

Stone Rain Zack Walker Linwood Barclay Books Reviews

Linwwood Barclay is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors in the genre. Sad sack hero Zack Walker, sci-fi writer and newspaper man and such a great family man can manage to find more convoluted troubles and this one gives his wife, Sarah her own pot of trouble. Zack Walker stories are so real. You can see the twists and laugh as he gets in deeper and deeper. This fourth book in the series is one of the better mysteries. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
It's not the usual type of his books I read but as he didn't have any released yet that I hadn't read I decided to give the Zack Walker books a chance. I really enjoyed all four of them. Again, not his usual type of mysteries but very entertaining. I gave it four stars because it's a little different kind of mystery. For light reading I would recommend all of them.
This book was okay, but not the most exciting of it's kind that I have ever read. For one thing, I had to get used to the "F" word being used in every other sentence of dialogue. Other reviewers have stated that it was very humorous. It was a little, but not that much. I bought a couple of other Zach Walker books based on Barclay's "The Accident", so I hope they are much better than this one. To me, it didn't live up to it's hype.
This is the 4th book in the series. All can be read and stand alone. Linwood Barclay has a unique writing style that at times makes you laugh out loud and at other times on the edge of your seat. This was one of those books. I didn't want it to end but I couldn't put it down. It made me really fear for what would happen to the characters in this book. I highly recommend you read it.
I am an avid reader and I must say this author brings the characters to life so much that at the end of the book I sat there crying. The main character Zach was no hero in my eyes but he was determined and steadfast in his goals. The main female characters had such realistic flaws and good traits they come to life as being real in my short time reading this.

I have now placed Linwood Barclay on my favorite author list and can't wait to r4ead more of his work.
Stone rain is a part of the Zack Walker series. I have only read the last two, I enjoy the characters and the story line. I would recommend reading them in order;
Bad Move, Bad Guys, Lone Wolf, and Stone Rain.
I started with Lone Wolf and you have to read between the lines when the other stories are mentioned. no pun intended. )
The characters are very relatable, and you will be surprised what Zack manages to get him self into time and time again.
Enjoy
Also, Try some other Linwood Barclay books. They are wonderful!
In Linwood Barclay's fourth novel featuring trepid newspaper writer Zack Walker, Zack falls into two dangerous situations. His friend Trixie Snelling, accountant turned dominatrix, calls asking for help with a reporter who's been buzzing around her for a story. For reasons that later become clear, she's terrified of having her picture printed in the paper. And Zack's son Paul takes a job as a fry cook, only to discover that the trio of muscular Slavic women running the burger joint are serving up E. coli with their fries. The two threads of the story eventually combine, with both sets of bad guys intent on killing or maiming Zack, albeit with very different weapons. As usual, Zack's tendency to fall into trouble and not come clean about it soon enough also gets him in hot water at home. But what's unusual about this book is that the main story is punctuated by chapters detailing Trixie's colorful back story. This is necessary for our understanding, but for me these were the low points of the book. Frankly, I don't find Trixie a very interesting or sympathetic character. She's made a number of mistakes in her life that have put her friends and family in danger. And while one can try to exonerate her by saying that she was forced into them by her situation, well, she really wasn't. Given at various times in life a choice of two directions to take, she has invariably made the worse choice. So, I don't really care what happens to her. Barclay, however, tells a great story, and he ties up the various strands of the plot very neatly at the end. Still, if there's to be another Zack Walker novel, I'd prefer that the troubles Zack faces be closer to home. And, generally speaking, the more we see of Zack's friend, the enigmatic private eye Lawrence Jones, the better (provided that he, unlike Trixie in this outing, remains enigmatic).
