Now that he's made a name for himself with his serious thrillers, people are finding Zack, and Zack is starting to sell.

I grab one whenever I see it at the library.<br /><br />I'm so glad he spoke at PP; what a treat, a comedian and thriller writer all in one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-24468064037577131142014-08-11T11:46:13.591-07:002014-08-11T11:46:13.591-07:00I loved this book, Cathy.

His next couple of books featuring the same characters were also funny. But then Barclay went off on a serious thriller bent and I stopped reading him. I much preferred it when he played it all for laughs.<br /><br />Thanks for reminding me that early Barclay is due for a re-read. If I can find the spare reading moment. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-56717789993692309172014-08-11T11:30:44.727-07:002014-08-11T11:30:44.727-07:00I really needed something to make me laugh and lau...I really needed something to make me laugh and laugh a lot.
