I really, truly, never would have seen that coming.
Coben successfully turned celebrity fan culture, missing persons cases, reality tv, and legal hoops into one heck of a mystery.
This book does lean more mystery than thriller, though it blends the genres well. I was hooked from the beginning, though I wasn’t riveted until about halfway through. Then suddenly I couldn’t stop and read most of the book in a two day sitting after letting it rest for almost a year.
If you’re looking for a twisty family drama mystery without too much gore and with good action and compelling characters, The Match comes highly recommended from me.

The "Boy In The Woods" sets out on a quest to find his birthparents and figure out why he was abandoned. A deep dive into genetics and DNA matching services ensues, and he finally gets his answer, although not without a lot of twists and turns along the way.
The DNA stuff got a little confusing at times, but it was enjoyable
