Not into the story or the characters; I've heard how great of an author Harlan Coben is, so I will give another one of his books a try, but this was the first novel of his that I have read & it wasn't great... There was a ton of characters and way too much going on with the plot. The characters all had such complex and unique backstories, you'd think it would make for a good story, but it made it unbelievable and difficult to follow. Because there was so much going on with both the plot and the characters, it was difficult to stay invested in the book and felt like I had to drag myself through to the end of it.
Eine angenehme Abwechslung. Um ehrlich zu bleiben hat mich das Buch nie auf dem Level gepackt den ich mir von einem Thriller wünsche, allerdings war es sehr angenehm zum Lesen und hat mir wirklich gefallen. Für mich war es die ganze Zeit auf einem gleich bleibendem Level spannend und der eine oder andere Plot twist hätte noch stärker gestaltet werden können. Aber die Geschichte war rund und auch das Ende hat mir sehr gefallen.
I thought this was about two missing teenagers. It's not. Don't believe the blurb, it's about blue bloods and politics.

This book was fast paced and easy to read. Most of the "surprises" were easy to guess but I enjoyed the book. It is a classic for the mystery/suspense genre and the writing and character development were spot on!
