As always Coben does a great job of just keeping the story flowing. I didn't think there was any crazy twist but I still really enjoyed this book. The characters were well formed and the mystery was kept well hidden. Hester was my favourite. She was sharp and very witty. Wilde was also interesting. Imagine being found as a kid in the woods and not knowing why or how you came from there but that you have lived there alone for many years.

Very good for a mystery novel. Good for a novel in general. Some bits were a little cheesy but overall very enjoyable!!!

I read this because the title intrigued me and because it involves missing teenagers and a boy that was once found in the woods decades earlier. If you think these stories are going to intersect, you are mistaken. If you want to be dragged around into hotel bars, presidential campaigns, Sing Sing Prison, and an Ecocapsule in the forest without any good answers or connections and way too many special agents and bad guys, then go ahead and enjoy.
