Fast read with the usual Coben twists and turns
Kept my interest and read at a fast pace. Great escapism, lots of depth - so much that I’m still trying to piece it together.

My first Harlan Coben read and it won’t be my last.
Eight years ago David Beck was left for dead and his Wife Elizabeth was kidnapped and then murdered.
Dr Beck has been plagued by that day ever since. Then one afternoon he gets a strange anonymous email telling him to log on to a website. He logs on and the screen opens to a web-cam, his wife Elizabeth faces him.
As Dr Beck tries to discover if his wife is really alive and the true events from that night, the FBI are trying to pin Elizabeth’s murder on him.
And everyone he turns to ends up dead…
This was a great mystery and one that’ll have you questioning and guessing right up until the end. It had some great twists in the story and an unexpected ending. At times it’ll even have you on the edge of your seat in anticipation of what’s to happen next.
I felt for David Beck’s character but I’m pleased he was reunited with his wife Elizabeth.
I did love some of the side characters but I also found it hard to keep up with them all because there was a lot, I think I would have found this a little easier if I wasn’t listening to the audible maybe.
It was a great read though and certainly won’t be the last Harlan Coben story I’ll read.
