3.0

i love a good story that emphasizes bonds and support systems, but i wasn’t super impressed, nor would i say this is an unbelievable, life-changing book. i think if you’re a parent, you could feel an emotional connection on a surreal level, maybe? but, in the book’s defense, not everything has to be grand. not to mention, it was written in a super digestible way— not my favorite style in the world, but i admire it greatly anyway, because time and time again, it’s reminded me that i truly do enjoy reading during every slump i’ve had. my biggest complaint/compliment, depending on the intention? max and sarah, although play a smaller part, were (effectively) the most nails-on-a-chalkboard duo i’ve had the absolute non-pleasure of experiencing lately

My first Harlan Coben, and I’m pleasantly surprised. I was worried his work would be similar to James Patterson, David Baldacci, Stuart Woods, etc. Thankfully, I actually really enjoyed this and was hooked the entire way through. This was quite intense at times and I found the twists surprising. The only downsides were that the FBI Agents Sophie and Max were some of the most annoying characters I’ve ever read. Also, the ending was rushed and started to get a little over the top after having to suspend your disbelief already at other major plot points. Overall, a solid thriller that kept me guessing until the end. I’m definitely open to picking up more of Coben’s work in the future.

5 stars!! This was one of my most anticipated 2023 reads and it delivered, I think this may be my new favorite novel by Harlan Coben. I love how well he ties a story together down to (what we think at the time) are inconsequential facts. This was well written and sucked me in from the first sentence! I was nervous about reading it because of the subject matter, but stick with it because it’s worth it. It was fast paced and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I highly recommend.

David’s story was compelling and it was a real adventure reading. I also really loved the exchanges between the FBI agents, Max and Sarah. Their characters and the way they verbally sparred with people was highly entertaining. I would love to see more books with them in it. 

Thank you to Grand Central Publishing and NetGalley for letting me read an eGalley in exchange for an honest review.
