It’s wasn’t bad. I definitely wasn’t gripping the edge of my seat and staying up late to finish, but I did want to see how everything played out. Some points though felt more like a cheesy action movie than a mystery novel. The MC is putting himself in impossible situation and somehow finds a way out to see another day. But even with all that cheese, I was still curious about Natalie. I didn’t like this whole, I’m in love with a girl I dated in college for 3 months and still think about her everyday, because realistically that just wouldn’t happen and a rational person would have moved on by this point, and I wish this had taken a different route into the motivation of finding her. Long lost love just wasn’t believable for me. Honest curiosity would have been better imo, because that’s what I had. And this girl was the definition of mysterious. At every new clue 50 more questions and scenarios came up. Some a little far fetched, but considering the situation, still possible. That made this a little fun to read. Not to mention the book itself was t too long, quite a quick read, and definitely entertaining. I probably wouldn’t reread it, but I would recommend to anyone looking for a short twisty mystery.
3,5 ster. Prima boek, leest - zoals alles van Cohen - als een trein. Geen vier sterren omdat het verhaal rond de 80% slecht te volgen was; er werden te veel lijntjes opgelost te snel op elkaar. Personage Jack vond ik oké, hij bleef wat mij betreft iets te hardnekkig hangen in het verleden.
This probably deserves more stars than I've given it - it kept me reading but I found I started skimming towards the end. A good, unexpected end - probably would have given more stars if I'd read it at a different time

I think this might be my favourite Coben book so far. It's taken me a full year to get around to reading this book, but I really enjoyed it. The story was really intriguing to me and actually it has a few similar strands to the James Patterson book that I read this month with the whole how well do we know people theme. I also liked the fact that I didn't see some of these plot twists coming, so well done Mr Coben.

I love Harlan Coben writing but this book annoyed me. The love story and twist wasn’t so twisting as his other books I’ve read.
