Ik heb een krasposter met 100 boeken en tussen alle oude en moderne klassiekers staat dit boek. Ik had nog nooit iets van Harlan Coben gelezen, dus was benieuwd wat dit zo'n geweldige thriller zou maken. Nu ik hem uit heb snap ik niet waarom deze op de poster staat. Het is vermakelijk, leest makkelijk weg en het verhaal zuigt je op, maar uiteindelijk werd het wel heel rommelig en voorspelbaar, ondanks de vele plot twists die er rond het einde nog in worden gegooid. Er zijn zo veel betere thrillers (en als ik Goodreads mag geloven heeft Harlan Coben ook betere boeken geschreven). Misschien had ik door de poster te hoge verwachtingen. Uiteindelijk was dit een prima boek, maar ook niet meer dan dat.

The author's writing style of talking directly to the reader at times was a little too personal for this type of book.

This was my first Coben book I liked it but I didn’t love it. I feel I only finished listening to this book as I wanted to see where it went and what happened, and in the end I didn’t love the ending.
At times I felt like there was too much going on and found it hard at times to keep track of all the different characters. In the end I just thought I’m not sure what actually happened.
This does not mean I won’t try anymore of his books because I will. I’m just not sure if it wasn’t for me because I listened to it and at times found the narrators voice a bit of a hinderance. So next time I might try reading his work as a pose to listening to it.

A lot of different story lines so you need to pay attention - it’s like a big web. Starts from the outside of the web and slowly starts to come together at the center when all the perspectives come together and make you go WOW!

This was the best thriller I’ve read in a while. I borrowed the audiobook on Libby so I could listen whenever I had to put the book down.
