I have now read two of his books, and they both had me on the edge of my seat the whole way through! Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out… curveball!

Fast-paced, twisty tale. Love that Hester Crimstein turns up constantly in the Cobenverse, even if only briefly.

Harlan Coben is one of my favourite authors as he always weaves a tale so well.

Why did I read this? Because it was free and I wanted a thriller. Why did I keep reading, despite the misogyny, homophobia, outdated language, paternalism, and other problematic schtuff? Because I wanted to know what happened. An ok plot - hence two stars.

Harlan Coben is one of my favorite authors. This book moved along quickly, but I always had a suspicion as to who was responsible for the crime. Usually Coben's books have a major twist in them, but I didn't feel like this novel had a big twist.
This is a story of Napoleon Dumas (Nap) who is now a police officer. His twin, Leo, died 15 years earlier, and now friends of theirs are dying. Nap is curious, especially since his old girlfriend (Maura)'s prints are found at the scene of a crime in which another of their high school friends is murdered. Nap can't seem to let the events of that night 15 years earlier go, and he keeps pointing to the Nike missile ground in their town.
A solid novel from Coben. Always enjoyable. Writing is always terrific.
