Slutet förstörde allt. 

Loved it! Lots of twists and turns, and this time with a female protagonist (Coben usually features male). Coben seems more comfortable with male leads, but it was nice to see a strong woman kickin' ass and taking names.

This was a good book, but I wish I had read it before I had watched the TV show. I think that Coben's production team is able to bring his books to life in a way that adds so much depth; for instance, there's nothing on Kierce's backstory in the book, but that makes the TV show so much better. It's a good book, but it's nowhere near the TV adaptation IMO.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED UNTILLLLLLLLLLLLLL. the ending :)

Hate that trope. I think it’s a trope? Not sure. But I don’t like it. Not a bit.

Same thing happened in another book I read earlier this year that was a 2020 release and I hated it in that one too.

Authors please stop doing this.

Or just let me know before hand.

Just read my mind and when I’m going to pick up your book and your book has this trope just like message me and say DO NOT READDD ZE BOOK.

Thank you. Much appreciated in advance ;) :P

Harlan Coben is a master of page-turning suspense. This one has lots of twists and turns and was typically difficult to put down.

I don’t know what to make of this book cause I liked the story but the reveal was more like “ahhh that makes sense” rather than “WTF DID NOT EXPECT THAT” but I’m gonna watch the series and maybe that’ll be more tense

Harlan Coben é um hábil autor de thrillers, capaz de criar histórias cativantes, que nos deixam ansiosos por descobrir o seu desfecho.

Este livro narra a história de Maya, uma ex- militar que tenta resolver o assassinato do marido. Este era filho de uma família muito rica, e já sabemos que famílias poderosas escondem sempre vários segredos.

Mas Maya também tem um passado misterioso. É uma mulher de armas, uma protagonista forte com um sentido de justiça muito próprio. Como teve intenso treino militar, não tem medo de nada, é impulsiva e corajosa. Também gostei muito do seu amigo Shane e da sua amizade, com base numa confiança muito solida.

É um livro com imensa ação e a habilidade do autor em criar reviravoltas mantém-nos sempre alerta e envolvidos na história. O final é arrojado e faz todo o sentido, e é, sem dúvida, o ponto alto da narrativa.

Já tive oportunidade de ver a série, mas, para mim, o livro é bastante mais dinâmico. Na adaptação foram adicionadas várias histórias paralelas que retiraram intensidade à ação.
