After reading this book, I now understand why Harlan Coben is such a sought-after author, with most of his works receiving high ratings on Goodreads. This book kept me thoroughly engaged, constantly making me wonder what would happen next. The twists and turns were nothing short of mind-blowing, leaving me completely shaken by the end.

It’s undeniably a great book, but I deducted 1 star because I felt there was a bit too much going on at times. Some plot points felt slightly overwhelming, and I wished certain elements had been streamlined to maintain a more cohesive flow. Nevertheless, it’s a fantastic read that showcases why Coben is so highly regarded in the literary world.
