Just because that car sees you doesn’t mean it’s safe to cross… From the international bestseller Linwood Barclay comes a new, action-packed, utterly gripping crime thriller! They think as one. They act as one. They kill as one. The residents of Garrett Island are part of a visionary experiment. Their cars have been sent to the mainland and for one month, they’ve got self-driving vehicles called Arrivals. With just a voice command, an Arrival will take you where you want to go, and as the cars are all aware of each other, road accidents should be a thing of the past. As the world’s press arrives for a glimpse of this driverless future, islander and single mom Sandra Montrose preps for the huge media event. She’s ready for this new world. Her husband died when he fell asleep at the wheel, and she’s relieved her two teens, Archie and Katie, may never need driver’s licenses. Archie already finds enough ways to get into trouble.

But as the day gets underway, there are signs all is not well. A member of the press has vanished. There are rumours of industrial sabotage.

Wow, I loved this book! The premise of self driving cars is taken to an entirely new creepy factor by Linwood Barclay in this thoroughly enjoyable tale...Garrett Island, off the coast of Massachusetts, is the place where the Arrival Corporation settles on when conducting an experiment to see how autonomous vehicles can perform. The residents of the island give up their "regular" cars and are provided with Arrivals, electric, self driving cars. On the day of the press reveal, all of the cars go from helpful to homicidal in the blink of an eye. Chaos ensues, of course, with a little humor tossed in. The characters are likeable, even the sinister ones, the storyline is fast paced, starting with a bang and never letting up. I read this book in one sitting, fascinated with the plot. I liked the references to "Jaws" and "Christine" (an ongoing theme) and just when you think that you have it figured out, there's another twist.
