Good book, worth the read, but not one of my favorites of Coben's stand alones.

The story line was easy to follow even with the character's lives connecting, disconnecting, and expanding. Overall really enjoyed the writing style and the foreshadowing along with the build up of the story. You could easily draw your own conclusions and the ending lined up no major twists that aren't plausible. Overall I enjoyed it!

Spoiler:
I did wish that there was a little more in depth to what the killer was thinking throughout the book but I also feel as though we got that insight at the end when the killer was revealed. Even though I did enjoy the distraught father, barbie and kens story, and the mother in law I did feel like some of it was unnecessary. Even though that is true I wouldn't exclude them from the book just wish there was a little less because in the end it all connected in someway that helped the reader understand the killer and how people react in that situation.

This was not the best Coben book. It was just ok over all.

Loved the storyline and plot twists but didn’t love the writing/dialogue at some points.

On embarque rapidement dans cette intrigue. Le livre se déroule à une vitesse fulminante. Il y a beaucoup de personnages, mais on les aime dès le départ et on aime lire leurs histoires. Personnellement, j’ai bien aimé l’histoire, mais j’ai un drôle de goût par rapport à la finale. La finale n’est pas tirée par les cheveux ni rien de ça, mais on dirait que l’intrigue était meilleure que le dénouement...Sentiment étrange! Une genre de déception d’avoir fini le livre et de savoir la fin...Je suis peut-être juste étrange :P
