Lots of hype around this due to current Netflix series. All reviews gasping at the twists! For anyone who has read Coben before it‘s the usual amount of twists and turns- imagine the most ridiculous twist as always!!
Good entertaining read.

BarbaraBB Sounds good! 3mo
julesG Haven't read the book, or any other by the author, but saw the series. It was entertaining, but not very "twisty" to me. 3mo
TrishB @julesG it definitely wasn‘t his most outrageous twists! 3mo

Caroline2 I got bored of the Netflix series and bailed. Got a bit sick of watching her driving round all the time. 😂 wayyyy too long winded at nearly 10hrs!!! 3mo
TrishB @Caroline2 I‘m not tempted to watch! 3mo
lynneamch I did watch it and really enjoyed it. I wouldn't bother watching if you already read it. It was my first HC. Plan to watch or read more. 3mo
TrishB @lynneamch some of his books have outrageous twists. But I find them entertaining reads. 3mo

Binging the Netflix adaptation of the tagged book while thinking about this year‘s reading goal. 2023 was not my best year by far, and consequently my TBR stack is way out of control. 😆

Ruthiella Out of control TBR is a typical serious reader‘s problem! The struggle is real. 😆 3mo

#98 of my year. I am prepared to spend a small fortune just to get all of his books hehe I feel a binge coming on & I feel like I could binge these. Homeschooling via zoom has been intruding on my reading time but we‘re fine, it‘s fine 😬😖😭 lol Currently listening to Slow Burn by Crywolf ♑️

Kloves2read I am a huge Coben fan! I met him a few years back and he is hilarious! I‘ve read most of his books and I regretfully admit, I am a bit behind. Not sure if you‘re aware, but he has a series that is just as great, as his stand alone books. 4y
Caffeinated_Reader @Kloves2read I have not read many of his, only about 4/5 sadly. I always love them but I forget to pick him up since I have been stuck on the YA bandwagon for a while haha I‘m so jealous you‘ve met him! That is so cool. I‘ve met Michael Connelly years and years ago but definitely hope to meet more authors someday. (edited) 4y

When you get an email that your tax return will post on the 27th and then you get an email that B&N is having a #BookHaul sale on the 27th and 27 just HAPPENS to be your favourite number... you have to bow to the universe and just go to that sale with your BFF. 4 of these were 50% off, 2 were two for nine dollars, and the other three I just had to get. And when you buy at least 3 from the sale you get a free tote. I have to say it was a great day!

I love when I have a Coben book to read and this one did not disappoint. The plot kept me glued until the last pages. I had to find out who killed Maya's husband. Coben's excellent writing forces you to hate these characters and there are some nasty ones. The twists and turns keep coming. In the end, you finally realize that all the clues were there and you just failed to put them together. Can't wait for the next Coben book to be released.

The master of suspense, & the unexpected twist does it again. Harlan Coben simply writes the books I always want to read. They flow so well and leave you puzzling as you try to work out what is going on. As usual there are some twists you can work out and others you can‘t. Just one complaint with Harlan, I want more Myron Bolitar books - they are one of my all time favourite series. Bravo, though, once again Mr Coben! Not tried him 😱, just do!

Melismatic I‘ve never read any of his books - where should I start? 5y

Andrew65 @suzie.reads Wasn‘t sure about that series at first but quickly became a convert. Possibly affected initially because he hated Myron!😂 5y
suzie.reads I love it but then there isn't a Harlan Coben book I don't, which is very rare from an author. Him and John Sandford. 5y
Andrew65 @suzie.reads I need to get caught up on John Sandford. Not been easy to get hold of the Lucas Davenport and only up to about book 6. 5y
suzie.reads I absolutely love Lucas Davenport the prey series is my favourite series, I've read them all and the Virgil Flowers series is great, that fucking Flowers! 5y
Andrew65 @suzie.reads Not got to Virgil yet but do love the books I have read by John Sandford. Have definitely heard great things about them. 5y
suzie.reads Yeah he is brilliant. I love a series its mainly what I read. I'm upto date with Davenport, Virgil Flowers, Tom Thorne, Jack Reacher, Alex Cross, Womens murder club and Myron Bolitar 5y

This book was all I wanted to read when I started it. I binge-read this. It‘s not my kind of book, but, damn, it did the job! It was intriguing, puzzling and, most of all, it had a spectacular ending—one very shocking, heartbreaking and very fitting at the same time! I loved it.

Mehso-so

This was good, but maybe not as much as many of his other books. There were plenty of twists, and I definitely didn‘t see the end coming! I really disliked Maya, though, and I was still left a little bit confused about one thing at the end. As a side note, I listened to the audio, and the narrator did a nice job.

Andrew65 That‘s a very disappointing review for a Harlan Coben book. 😔 This is one I haven‘t read yet. (edited) 6y
LibraryCin It may be my lowest rated by him... ah, there may be one or two others, but this was definitely not as good as most of his others, for me, anyway. 6y
LibraryCin Sorry, andrew. Forgot this doesnt show number ratings. I rated it 3.5 aka good for me. But decided that i wanted to reserve the thumbs up here for 4 stars or higher. Soso will be used for 3 stars ok or 3.5 stars good. 6y

I wolfed this down! It was great! It kept me guessing until the end, so either Coben is a great writer or I was having a daft day. I really liked Maya, the lead, she was flawed but strong and sensible. I'll definitely read more by this author.

Cinfhen Harlan Coben is GREAT for fast paced thrillers 7y
Laru79 Awesome @Cinfhen any you would recommend, or do I start at the start and work my way through? 7y
Cinfhen He has stand alones and then a series (Myron Bolitar) that follows recurring characters but jumping in is fine...It's a long back list but they read quickly...truthfully they all kind of blend into each other for me but they are always witty and clever ~ good #braincandy 7y
Laru79 Ooh great, thanks for the info... will see what I can find in the library. I read a lot of James Patterson a few years ago, really enjoyed them but now feel like I'm graduating onto something a bit more grown up! 7y
