The more of Coben’s books I read the more I like his style. This had funny moments while being mostly serious and suspenseful.
I love Harlan Coben's mysteries. Even though this wasn't about his usual characters, I enjoyed the story. I felt like Nap, the vigilante cop who hasn't gotten over his twin brother's death 15 years earlier, was a lot like Bolitar and Win, Coben's main characters in other novels. Everyone was a suspect in my mind at some point, as Nap tried to figure out how a recent crime connects to his brother's death. It was a sad story to get to the end, but I enjoyed the fact-paced ride. Because Coben lives in New Jersey, his books usually take place there. This book also made me want to research the former missile sites that were hidden around NJ., since I know nothing about them.
Coban is angel food cake reading. Nice, light treat. Good, but not chocolate ganache with whipped cream.
Excellent read! The main character reminded me of Win & if you know HC works then you'll get why I liked him so much.

I like to take audiobooks for this genre; great for my commute, yardwork, etc. This was great fun; one of the best in a while. Cop unearths mysteries from his high school years, as several classmates are whacked 15 years later. It didn't let go.
