I’m really enjoying reading his work!! It was pretty compelling but it felt like it floundered a smidge in the middle after an exciting start. Good stuff overall.
On a recent trip to a wedding, my husband and I decided to listen to "Don't Let Go" written by Harlan Coben. Coben is one of those authors my husband and I both feel we can count on to keep us engaged and entertained. We both really enjoy his Myron Bolitar mystery series, and I used to keep the next one in the series waiting until I had an airplane trip that required a sure bet (this was before e-books were so easy to travel with providing many choices to choose from). Although this is not one in the mystery series, this thriller was no exception. Nap Dumas is a police detective in New Jersey who suddenly finds himself being questioned about some fingerprints found at a murder scene. It turns out they are the fingerprints of his Senior High girlfriend, Maura, and they were found at a scene also connecting to another high school friend. Maura had been the love of his life but had broken up with him and mysteriously disappeared the night his twin brother, Leo, and his girlfriend, Diana, were found dead on the local railroad tracks. A devastated Nap has been haunted for the last 15 years from unresolved questions about what happened that night, and with this new lead indicating Maura is still alive, he starts to look again for answers. His search, however, seems to bring more questions than answers about his friends, family, and town. As he learns more about that night, there are, of course, people who would rather have those secrets left buried.
This stand alone thriller delivers another well-developed plot with great characters that keeps you intrigued. Myron Bolitar also makes a small appearance in this book, delighting this fan.
this seemed like a good red herring plot, but then the herring ended also being true. i enjoyed the story. the characters were pretty good, though a little flatter than some of his others perhaps. i did feel that there was a bit too much attention focused on the misdirect, especially considering the main character kept saying that he felt like he was missing something (nothing like announcing the plot twist before it happens).

Not my favorite by Harlan Coben, but fast paced and fun to read.
3.75 stars. Harlan Coben books are always entertaining and the narrator did a great job.
I enjoyed this read. Best Coben book I have read in awhile. There was even a cameo by Myron Bolitar.
I love this author! I know when I start one of his books I will not be able to put it down. This one didn’t disappoint.
Учудващо зарибяваща история за престъпления, конспирация и всякакви такива неща.
