Play Dead | Harlan Coben

No sooner had supermodel Laura Ayers and Celtics star David Baskin said "I do" than tragedy struck. While honeymooning on Australia's Great Barrier Reed, David went out for a swim-and never returned. Now widowed and grieving, Laura's search for the truth will draw her into a web of lies and deception that stretches back thirty years...

Harlan Coben does it again.. Although this one felt more predictable it still had some twists I didn‘t see coming. What happens when the love of your life vanishes on your honeymoon? Not only that but one of the biggest celebrity couples out there. 📖

Simba was sleeping soundly so obviously had to get him in the pic 🥹

Yes! After a horrible week and lots of chores today it‘s finally time to fully focus on reading! ❣️❣️❣️ can‘t go wrong with a Coben 💖 I just love the way he writes. Absolutely one of the best authors ever. It‘s cold outside, winter is here, it‘s dark soon, but me, Harlan, and a cup of hot cocoa do not care 💕 Enjoy your Saturday! Tomorrow I‘ll have lunch and a matinee with friends: Hogfather, so yay! 🥰

The books I plan on reading next week. Last year it was always seven, but those days are gone… well, I guess it‘s a good thing we‘re not living the pandemic years anymore 🤣

Working my way through all the books I haven‘t read by these authors yet. 35 in total, which means I‘m a very lucky person - so much to look forward to!

EadieB I haven‘t read those either! Enjoy! 3y

I may or may not have spent the entire evening in the most comfy spot reading instead of being productive 🙄. I've read a couple of Harlan Coben's books now, and while this may not have been his best work, it still provided a much needed distraction so it earned a pick.

😂😂😂 This one is so bad! I ordinarily like Harlan Coben but his first book (in 1989) is horrible soap opera nonsense. Like “These are the days of our dysfunctional lives as the incestuous world turns for all my illegitimate children” bad. But with a Murder She Wrote meets Miami Vice aesthetic over it. I only stuck with it to see if it ended like I thought it was going to. (It did.) It makes Dynasty look like realism. 🤣

rockpools I‘m almost tempted to try it! 4y
Ericalambbrown @rockpools it‘s so awful you may be mightily entertained 😂 4y
rockpools @Ericalambbrown Gah. My library doesn‘t have it! Think I‘ve had a lucky escape 😂😂 4y
Ericalambbrown @rockpools I think it‘s out of print! I just stumbled upon it at our FOTL sale - I picked up lots of his “stand alone” novels for like 3 bucks each. 4y

So I‘ve decided to stop reading The girl with the dragon tattoo. I just weren‘t being pulled in to it. Plus it‘s on my kindle and I really felt like the book feel. So I‘ve started reading #HarlanCoben. #playdead.

RachelAmphlett It look me ages to get into Dragon Tattoo as well. I think something clicked when I finished book 2 in the trilogy and I flew through the third. Might be one to return to one day? 4y
Dan_1988 @RachelAmphlett oh I definitely will return to it one. It was a good story and I was getting into it. It just didn‘t pull me and kept me wanting to hurry back and read more. Like with Harlan Coben, he makes it hard to put his books down haha 🙂 4y
RachelAmphlett @Dan_1988 yeah, he‘s terrible for my word count targets 😂 4y
Dan_1988 @RachelAmphlett Haha good luck 🙂 4y

1. I love seeing what others are reading and also their reviews. 2. I'm not really into authors posting their own books. 3. Nothing. 4. I post each time I finish a book. 5. I love swaps! 6. I would like to be able to message people in Litsy.

While on honeymoon, David finds out that his bride Laura is his sister. So he fakes his death and changes his identity. At the funeral, his gambling brother insinuates himself into the family to try to cheat them from their money to support his habits. But, the killer of the brothers' father has other plans for him and for Laura's family.

Great tale of suspense. I never saw this ending coming!

Harlan Coben is one of my favorites. Here he is with Jesse Kellerman (whose books I also love). His first book came out in 1990 and he's still at it!❤️ #publishedinthe1990s

KVanRead There's a cool French movie of one of his books, Tell No One 8y
