This is my first Harlan Coben and I liked it. It reads like the early novels of John Grisham. The chapters are short and usually end with a cliffhanger, that you just have to read what comes next.
This book was a page turner keeping me engaged full of action although I did kind of predict the ending
So I went in to this book after watching a couple movies based on his other books. And mostly I liked it. It wasn’t as gripping as other books in the same genre. But it was ok. And then I got to the last page and did not like the twist!

This book kept me interested and despite the convenient characters/situations and plot twists, it was still fun to read. I do love this genre! The perfect plot is awfully hard to write, so for me the distractions weren’t overwhelming.

It was a solid thriller, good but not the best. I listened to he audiobook, the narrator did well with the male voices but the female ones, not so much. I kept confusing Linda and Shauna as well as all the police guys...
The first half dragged a bit, but I was glad to have pushed through. The twists were pretty good and the explanation wrapped up well enough considering how convoluted the whole thing was. And I loved how much the MC had loved his wife.
The ending felt like a movie end not a book one, with this action packed scene followed by a domestic lovey one. The author outright told us we don't get to find out the secondary characters fates - which would be fine if their stories weren't purposely woven into the plot. I didn't care about his bff's and sisters marriage but Tyrese was my favourite and I wish we found out what he decided to do.
