Or could someone have planned it? Private investigator Cal Weaver gets a call from the daughter of one of the victims who thinks that her father's house have been broken into. In the house, they find a secret room where it's quite clear that salacious activities have taken place, they also discover that there are missing DVDs. Could the burglar have taken them and why? Meanwhile, Detective Barry Duckworth is trying to solve two murders that seem to be connected with each other. Far From True is the sequel to the thrilling Broken Promise and I was very eager to start reading this book. What I like with Linwood Barclay's Promise Falls series is that there are a lot of things going one in the books. Some of the storylines are connected with each other, some get answered in one book, while some span over the books, like the connected murders that were discovered in the first book, and that storyline is part of this book and will be part of the next. I do recommend reading Too Close to Home before reading this series because that book's story also takes place in Promise Falls and the events taken place in Too Close to Home has ramifications on the town and it's people. And, it's darn good book so read it. Also, I would recommend not reading this book without having read the previous one. I read the first book last year, but I still had some trouble getting into the book and its characters stories. It took some time for me to place them all and get my bearing. It's a thick book, but much is happening and it's never a dull moment in the book. Although I felt that I could get a bit frustrated with the book, not in a bad way, more I want some storylines to have more focus like the serial killer storyline and less about the couple that wants to kidnap their grandchild. But, the last 100 pages is really good when (some) answers are given to the reader. But, the ending almost broke me. It was intense, I turned the page, it was just a line and then I turned the page and the next page was blank. The book had ended and then it was just acknowledgment and the first chapter of the next book. I wanted to scream! I recommend this series very much. Do you like Harlan Coben? Then you will love Linwood Barcley's books! I want to thank the publisher for providing me with a free copy through NetGalley for an honest review! ( ) MaraBlaise | May 19, 2019 | This is the 2nd in the Promise falls trilogy. I did read the 1st one but it was a while ago. There are still a lot of unanswered questions and far to many characters. A drive in screen falls down and kills 4 people. One of the victims has been having Swinger parties at his house with his wife and friends. Cal Weaver investigates a break in at his house. Two scumbag Parent in laws also try to kidnap their Grand daughter. There are a few stories running in tandem. I found there being no one central character and the fact that I wasn't sure what had happened before a bit annoying. OK easy to read sequel. ( ) Daftboy1 | Jan 31, 2019 | I enjoyed this thriller and will probably read more from Linwood Barclay in the future, especially the Promise Falls series. ( ) Jane-Phillips | Dec 22, 2018 | With this second installment of the Promise Falls trilogy, I have to wonder how short an attention span the average reader is supposed to have. Whenever the focus returned to a particular character, there was always some sort of reminder or reiteration of the same key details about them. Granted, there are a lot of characters to keep track of in the world of Promise Falls, but it seems a bit much when Cal Weaver, in his first-person narrative chapters, feels compelled to repeat that he was married to a woman named Donna and they had a son named Scott and they moved to Griffon, north of Buffalo, after he left the Promise Falls Police Department, and now both Donna and Scott are dead. I was able to type that entirely from memory because it was repeated so many times. The repetition was distracting and made the almost-500-page book seem much longer. Repetition aside, the plot itself ticked along nicely and really moved up a gear in the last third. I actually almost yelled “What the!” at my book on the bus when I reached the last page; the third book may need to be read sooner rather than later. But c’mon, give us some credit here in our ability to retain information about characters. (p.s.: I liked the little nod to Ross Macdonald!) ( ) rabbitprincess | Jul 15, 2017 | #2 IN THE TRILOGY.

If I had read the entire description on NetGalley before requesting this book, I would have realized that this was book #2 of the author’s series 'Promise Falls'.

But, I have never been so confused while reading one. I read the first book in this series, BROKEN PROMISE back in March of last year so I did remember some of the characters and the plot-line from that book. But in FAR FROM TRUE there seemed to be a lot more happening in this story and I found it a little challenging to keep up with all the characters and deciphering how the storylines were...more Mar 13, 2017Mary Beth *Traveling Sister* rated it really liked it · review of another edition I am really enjoying this series and I have been a big fan of Linwood Barclay for years. This is the third book in the Promise Falls Trilogy counting the novella. During the local drive-in's last-ever triple feature, a mysterious explosion topples the screen, killing four people. It's not the only bizarre incident shaking up the New York town of Promise Falls, a popular suicide spot where all lives seem at risk.

I'd like to thank Netgalley for providing my copy in exchange for a fair and honest review. I think I'm in the minority but I really enjoyed this one! For those new to the series, start with #1 Broken Promise as this is the second in the trilogy. Not much to hash up plot wise as this is the middle segment, but it was structured differently than the first. There isn't really a main focal story, just a continuation and connecting of previous threads left hanging from the first book.

And that pretty much sums up book 2 in Barclay's Promise Falls series. For such a small, quaint town, there sure is a lot of crazy going on there! From bombs blowing up a movie theater, couple swapping and sex parties, child abduction, blackmail, racism vandalism and a serial killer running loose, it all seemed a bit much for me.

I had hoarded them to read until I had all three books, which in hindsight, was a mistake. The first half of Far From True is largely dedicated to reminding the reader what happened in Broken Promise, interwoven with developments in the new story, which focuses mainly on different characters, with the exception of David Harwood and Detective Barry Duckworth.

The novel starts when a drive in screen goes down crashing on the cars on its last day of operation. We goes into the life of a pair of victims and that opens a can of worms.

(First was BROKEN PROMISES). The reader should definitely read this series in order. There are so many things going on in this one, I barely know where to start.

In this one, private investigator Cal Weaver is asked to look into a break-in at the house of a man who has just been killed in a freak accident. There are other things happening too in this small town, and the reader is taken along at quite a fast pace as different situations unfold throughout the book. I read this so quickly, and really enjoyed it too.

The audiobook version is very good, and I recommend it if you either prefer audiobooks, or want to start out and try one. After finishing this, there was no question about continuing on to the 3rd book of the trilogy. In fact, I don't know why I'm spending time writing...more I realized I didn't write a review for this second book in the series. One of the things I love about this series is the small town. Like with the 1st book, the number 23 comes up often, but you don't get answers until the 3rd book. I highly recommend that you read these back to back. Lots of catastrophes happen and you'll start wondering who's responsible, but you won't get answers in this one! This book is the second in a trilogy. I read the first one, Broken Promise, in August of 2015. I'd kept notes on the first book, but it seems I really didn't need to because they didn't help with this book. Things that should have been remembered were mentioned in this book, and I was very surprised that I recalled them. There is *SO* much going on in this book!!! I was constantly shaking my head in wonder. Here's a quote from Promise Falls Detective Barry Duckworth.

Being a Canadian journalist/writer it is interesting at the amount of Barclay's work that is set in New York State. FAR FROM TRUE is no exception. Based in the town of Promise Falls, NY, this novel is the middle chapter of a trilogy set in upstate NY.

The twists and turns were better. At the end of the book Barclay has done it again wrapped up some of the dangling story lines but one and that is hopefully what the last book, Twenty-Three will do when it is released November 1 of this year. I am looking forward to it... 3.5 stars A truly explosive start to the second book in the Promise Falls trilogy, Far From True sees Linwood Barclay once again meddling with the townspeople in the unfortunate enclave of Upstate New York with a ludicrously low life expectancy. Broken Promise, the first of the series introduced the washed-up town in economic dire straits and if you read the first then there is every reason to return for this super second course. Having been introduced to many of the inhabitants of Promise Falls,...more Nov 04, 2018Lorraine Southern rated it liked it · review of another edition He would have got 4 stars for this but I deducted one star because, as with every Linwood Barclay book, he could have easily shaved off about 80 pages of waffle! ;) Sep 21, 2018Emma rated it really liked it Looking forward to the concluding book now. This was good, once I’d refamiliarised myself with the characters from the first book. An easy style of writing makes this a great read. I received a complimentary copy of Far From True from Netgalley. I was excited to read this book and now I'm torn about my review. I've read Linwood Barclay books before and usually really enjoyed them. 2.5 stars.... This book just didn't do it for me.

I think it's really important to read the first one as the action picks weeks after the first book ends. There are the same characters and the unsolved mysteries are still mysteries. Not only that but there are more mysteries thrown in and not resolved by the ending so I am eagerly looking forward to Book 3. I am hooked. This one opens with a bang literally.
