I like Coben's writing - nice action, twisty plot and likable characters. As I remembered his plot turns, I kept trying to figure it out, but it had me fooled!

As with all his books, Harlan Coben kept me guessing, and kept me hooked throughout the story. I liked the characters and the fact that I never would have figured out the ending. Well played!
Audio book - I'm not sure why, but there was a part of the story I really liked, but there was something that seemed off about other parts. For example, the character of Shane seemed like he would be an integral part of the story, but nope, she didn't confide in him at all. Also, liked part of the ending, but not the part that was supposed to be the "answer" to the original murder.
4.5 ⭐️ all I can say is...what the ffffffuuuuuuu....

I'll be the first to admit that my absolute love of Harlan Coben's writing is what bumped this up from a ~3 star to a 4. The actual plot itself was so immersive at the beginning, and the further along I got, the more I just went "wait.. that was it?" and felt like the outcome was actually quite a letdown.
I loved the idea of her being plagued by her husband actually being alive - the paranoia and suspicion she felt, but also the disbelief of those around her, all seemed so real and sucked me right in. But, again, the conclusion just felt so lackluster.
