Fool Me Once by Harlan Coben

3.0

---

More like 3.5 stars but here we go. Coben's electric thriller is a fast paced, twisty mystery that had me guessing to the very end. And that is why its not 4 stars as I think there were a couple twists too many. The book could have been pared down some and could have been even better. The story revolves around a strong female lead who's an ex-soldier who possibly losing her mind as death surrounds her and she can't trust what she's seeing. The story weaves old and new crimes together and there are quite a few red herrings. Maya, the main character is likeable and realistic and the ending is shocking. Overall, a page turner that I flew through but wished for a couple less twists.
