"Memories, you see, hurt. The good ones most of all."
Harlan Coben's thrillers haven't let me down yet, and I've been slowly making my way through his backlist. I decided to turn to his most read title next: Tell No One. Of course I wasn't surprised when I ended up finishing it in less than a day. There is something about the way he writes his stories that is both highly addictive and extremely engaging, and this story is no exception. I was hooked from the very beginning, with the mysterious messages and a dead wife that might just be alive after all... And it sure was an action-packed and suspensful ride! While things can be said about the credibility of certain aspects of the plot, this tends to be the case with his books in general and I personally didn't mind at all. If you focus on simply enjoying the ride instead, there is a lot of action, danger and tension to be found along the way! There were also quite a few twists and secrets I wasn't able to guess, and this made the revelations all the sweeter. Part of the plot almost has that conspiracy vibe going on, and I simply HAD to know what was really going on. The characters themselves aren't all that developed, but there is enough for you to be able to root for them. All in all yet another successful Harlan Coben read and I'm already looking forward to the next one.

What follows is a roller-coaster thriller in which we get introduced to quite a few seemingly unrelated people who find together in the end, but not before the plot has twisted like a pretzel several times. Nothing is as it seems and no one is as innocent as they first look in this fast-paced, far-fetched and very entertaining page-turner. Read it in one sitting.
One of the review excerpts from the blurb says: "This book will keep you up until 2 a.m." After I'd finished reading and written this review, I looked at my watch and it was exactly 2am! Can someone de-bug my house please?
