3.8 AVERAGE


Very gripping, a real page turner. Easy to read, desperate to find out what happened in the end. Straightforward pool-side reading.

I have now read two of his books, and they both had me on the edge of my seat the whole way through! Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out… curveball!

Fast-paced, twisty tale. Love that Hester Crimstein turns up constantly in the Cobenverse, even if only briefly.

Harlan Coben is one of my favourite authors as he always weaves a tale so well.

Why did I read this? Because it was free and I wanted a thriller. Why did I keep reading, despite the misogyny, homophobia, outdated language, paternalism, and other problematic schtuff? Because I wanted to know what happened. An ok plot - hence two stars.
