Mi familia había visto la serie de Netflix recientemente y, no contentos con el final, me puse a averiguar si era un tema del libro en el que estaba basado o la serie se había tomado demasiadas libertades creativas (arruinado una historia en el proceso).
Para ser honestos, a pesar de que el final sí es muy malo (todavía me estoy planteando incluso si tiene sentido alguno), hubo otras cosas que me fastidiaron: la protagonista, Maya, me pareció muy pesada; la narración era muy básica, a veces se iba mucho por las ramas y estaba repleto de relleno.
La trama está bien, pero le falta una segunda pulida (sé que la serie expandió los puntos de vista en otros personajes, cosa que se agradece), pero ese final...
Lamentablemente, dudo mucho que me interese leer otro libro de este autor.

Disappointed as previous reads have been enjoyable. Reads like an ad for NRA and the line that a perosn can participate or protect but not do both is offensive
This is the first book by Harlan Coben that I have read and I enjoyed the story of the FMC Maya, who is a retired pilot in the military and becomes a widow after her husband is shot. There is more to other deaths that have occurred within her and her husband’s life. Maya, the mother of a young daughter Lily sets about investigating but there is a big twist at the end.
I look forward to reading more from this author

I hesitate to give this 3 stars, but it did keep me engaged. I dunno. I’m annoyed.
I picked this up after reading the Myron Bolitar novel, Home. I knew this wasn't part of the Bolitar series, and I wanted to see if I liked the author's current books outside of that series. I didn't like this one at all. It started in a pretty compelling manner, but man, I just hated so many of the characters, I didn't find the twist interesting or in any way meaningful, and I just wanted it to end. I don't know - it didn't do anything for me.
I did like this book, I did. It was very suspenseful and engaging, and very well written. However, I must say that I feel a bit... Manipulated? I guess it just felt... Inconsistent. Maya kills her husband in revenge, and then sees him on her nanny cam. Okay, great... But after a few chapters she seems more focused on what happened to her husband, than she does with what happened on the nanny cam.
I guess in the end it all felt rather lazy. Coben had a great plot lined up, and in the end I feel like he took the easy way out. At the end, I felt like I had been reading about this mystery for no point. The entire book seemed like a waste of my time. I literally thought "who cares?" In my opinion, it would have been a much better book if Maya had been upfront about everything. I think the point was more about the family's shenanigans than it was about the murder.
While I admit that the twist was fantastic, it felt manipulative to me as a reader. I love a good twist (Gone Girl, for example) but not one like this.
I don't know... It's late. Perhaps I'll update this tomorrow with a more coherent argument of what I'm trying to say...
