Nobody’s Fool was my first thriller by Harlan Coben, and I was pleasantly surprised! Even though it’s the second book in a series and (I haven’t read the first one,) I still found it easy to follow.

We follow a cop-turned-detective, whose past resurfaces when he runs into someone he believed was dead and things spiral from there.

The plot moves quickly, with a mix of suspense, humor, and emotional moments.

I didn’t expect it to have such funny scenes, which was a nice surprise. There were a few twists toward the end that added an extra layer of tension. Overall, I really enjoyed it and I’ll definitely be checking out more from Coben!

This one was creative and fast paced and had some good characters. I liked how because the main character was an investigator, he used his class to help him solve the case, it was a nice twist. Overall, I was really into the story, though the ending was maybe not the *best*, I would still call it satisfying

Harlan Coben is one of my favorite authors, which is why I was surprised that he mistakenly said over and over again in this book that 1999 was the end of the century and the millennium. 2000 was the end of the century and millennium! I understand that the NYE party in 1999 was important to the story, but he could have clearly stated that people have mistaken this for the end of the century/millennium, and partied that way. This really bugged me!
Otherwise, I enjoyed the story and the tenacity of disgraced former police officer Sami Kierce to solve the mystery of what happened to Anna, the woman he met in Spain after college. I also enjoyed the love between Sami and his wife. The students in his class were fun to read, as they helped Sami determine what happened to Anna.
Enjoyable thriller, but unhappy that information re: 1999 and end of century was incorrectly stated over and over again!
