This is the 3rd book in the Promise Falls Trilogy and therefore should be read in order. A well written finale to an intriguing series by Linwood Barclay.

Linwood Barclay is a master storyteller. You will keep returning to his books.

As a big fan of Linwood Barclay, The Twenty-three did not disappoint. Another thriller to keep me hooked. I wouldn't want to give away any spoilers, but if you've never read a Linwood Barclay book before, read this.

I have to admit I haven't read the other books in the trilogy, but I didn't feel I missed out and felt this was a great stand-alone book. Having said that I will be reading the first two as I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

The towns water supply has been contaminated causing many to fall ill and a number of deaths. On top of all this there is a murder to investigate.

I found the book gripped me from the start and kept me engrossed all the way through.

Loved it, 5 well deserved stars.
