First one I've read in English, first one in a new series. Really enjoyed it, another great mystery from the master of suspense and plottwists. Did not see the ending coming, but then again, I rarely do in Coben's books.

Kind of good plot but I hated the way it was written. It’s sounds like it was written by an old man who acts like a teenager and I’m surprised the word woke was not used more. It was very much a “can’t say anything these days” kind of book with a hint of conspiracy theories and overly antigovernment.

I didn’t think this story or the characters were as strong as Harlan Coben’s other works but I’m excited to read his other works still.

Thirty years ago,Wilde was found as a little boy living in New Jersey backwoods by himself with no memory of how he got there and no knowledge of who he was. He is now a security expert and prefers living alone. Wilde is contacted by Hester Crimstein, a television criminal attorney to find Naomi Pines, a victim of bullying at school. With very few leads to follow things start escalating fast when another kid goes missing and a severed finger arrives in a box
The Boy from the Woods is a standalone novel by author Harlan Coben. This is another action packed thriller with lots of twists & turns will keep you hooked to the end.I hope this is the start of a new series
I would like to thank Grand Central Publishing & NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest and fair review.
