Coben had me angry from page one. So angry at I actually put the book down after a few pages. The anger came out of the connection he created with the main character from the get go. Coben has tapped into some of the rawest of human emotions this time.
The plot was strung along nicely, with both the expected and unexpected twists. Despite the hype the ending is visible if you are willing to let your mind go to dark places.
Truly, just a shame that I had to reach the end so quickly.
If anything is missing from this volume it is the subtle, and sometimes not so subtle humor, that Coben is capable of. Or it just be that I overlooked it as I focused on the overt commentary on the human condition.
I think maybe I need to go back to some old school Myron and Win.

Mi familia había visto la serie de Netflix recientemente y, no contentos con el final, me puse a averiguar si era un tema del libro en el que estaba basado o la serie se había tomado demasiadas libertades creativas (arruinado una historia en el proceso).
Para ser honestos, a pesar de que el final sí es muy malo (todavía me estoy planteando incluso si tiene sentido alguno), hubo otras cosas que me fastidiaron: la protagonista, Maya, me pareció muy pesada; la narración era muy básica, a veces se iba mucho por las ramas y estaba repleto de relleno.
La trama está bien, pero le falta una segunda pulida (sé que la serie expandió los puntos de vista en otros personajes, cosa que se agradece), pero ese final...
Lamentablemente, dudo mucho que me interese leer otro libro de este autor.

Disappointed as previous reads have been enjoyable. Reads like an ad for NRA and the line that a perosn can participate or protect but not do both is offensive
This is the first book by Harlan Coben that I have read and I enjoyed the story of the FMC Maya, who is a retired pilot in the military and becomes a widow after her husband is shot. There is more to other deaths that have occurred within her and her husband’s life. Maya, the mother of a young daughter Lily sets about investigating but there is a big twist at the end.
I look forward to reading more from this author

I hesitate to give this 3 stars, but it did keep me engaged. I dunno. I’m annoyed.
