I Will Find You by Harlan Coben
⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (3.5/5)
Genre: Thriller
About 325 pages
David has spent the past five years in prison after being convicted of killing his son, Matthew. He didn’t do it…. But during the weeks after his son passed, David lost all hope and purpose in life, so he let the conviction happen. Five years later, his former sister-in-law, Rachel, comes to visit. She shows David a photo that has a little boy who looks a lot like Matthew in the background. This changes everything for David. He goes from hopeless to determined as he escapes prison on a journey to find his son.
Tell No One was one of my favorite books when I read it years ago, so I’ve been wanting to read another Harlan Coben book for a while. Coben is great at writing high-intensity, page-turning thrillers. This book is a game of cat and mouse that kept me engaged from beginning to end. I enjoyed how every character Coben introduced provided some sort of value to the story, as I feel like so many authors drop in a character for one scene and then make them irrelevant going forward. The only qualm with this one is that some parts of the story weren’t the most believable/realistic, but if you can put that aside, this story is a terrific one!
Favorite Quote: “Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.”

This book was recommended to me by a few of my coworkers. They said they couldn’t put it down, and I agree it was a pretty good page turner!
The premise was interesting. A man serves 5 years in prison, falsely convicted of killing his young son. Then his ex sister in law shows up with a picture of a boy that looks identical to his son, down to the birth mark on his face. Is the story a little fantastical and unrealistic? Yes. But is it still enjoyable? Certainly.
I had a few issues with the locations and the pacing. It all seemed to happen too quickly. They traveled between states so fast. Also the FBI agents on the case were a little too corny that it took me out of the story at times. I think the main FBI guy Max reminded me a bit of the agent in the “Boondock Saints”. A smart know it all who easily pieces it together.
