I love Harlan Coben! This new can't-put-it-down-must-finish-it-now book is another entry in Coben's continuing string of great stories. This is a stand-alone novel, but his new main character of Napoleon "Nap" Dumas is a guy I'd like to hear from again. If you're a Coben fan like me, rush out and get this one!
P.S. Page 87 delighted me so much, I clapped my hands and scared a cat. :)

Fantastic. Harlan Coben novels are like comfort food for me and this is one of his best.

I couldn’t put it down! Not even for more than 10mins! That is how good and captivating the story is~ and what I love is that we, readers, get answers gradually and not in one shot at the very last page as most annoying and badly written thrillers. And the twist in the end ... woah..

This was a reasonably fast paced story. Nap needs to investigate his twin brother's death from 15 years ago and track down his missing girlfriend.
I was thoroughly looking forward to my second Harlan Coben novel ever since reading ‘The Woods’ (an instant 5 star for me).
Thankfully I wasn’t disappointed! This is yet another exceptionally well written addition to Coben’s repertoire. A 15 year old mystery, dormant until now, unravels at a great pace. The story is told through Nap, who is closely tied to both the events that occurred 15 years ago, and those that have started occurring in the current time frame.
Some great reveals, twists, and personal discoveries make for an enthralling read.
Not to mention some pertinent questions and perspectives on vigilantism.
