Caught by Harlan Coben

"A seventeen-year-old girl disappears... Her family hears nothing for three months and now everyone assumes the worst. Reporter Wendy Tynes is on a mission to identify and bring down sexual predators via televised sting operations. Her latest target: a social worker known as a friend to troubled teens. As a community struggles to cope with the loss of the missing girl, and the predator who may have taken her, Wendy realises she can't trust her own instincts - or the motives of the people around her..."
I've been meaning to read something by Harlan Coben for a long time now and i must say I expected a bit more from this book. I really liked it but i bought it around 8 years ago and just picked it up and I feel like it might have become a bit outdated. It seemed to me a bit shallow as well and I think i would have wanted a bit more depth.
The story is good and I liked most of the characters. It got me hooked through the entire reading. I also liked the twists but they took way too long to appear and solve themselves. It was one of those books in which the build up is too long and suddenly in 20 pages everything unreavels and gets solved by quick explanations.
Nevertheless I really enjoyed this reading and it honestly took me not more than 3 days to finish it because it's a really hooking and light reading.
