(  ) EricPMagnuson | Nov 12, 2009 |  Too many story lines. Even though they all (sort of) come together eventually, it seems contrived. (  ) LBM007 | Oct 6, 2009 | This a story of a moral dilemma - how much freedom do you give your children and how closely do you monitor them. The lead characters decide to spy on their teenage son with unexpected consequences. As usual with Coben, several different plot threads come together in the final pages and are all neatly and satisfyingly tied up. Interesting too that a number of characters from his Myron Bolitar series make guest appearances, including the fearsome lawyer Hester Crimstein and Loren Muse, the detective and, fleetingly, Pocahontas. Highly recommended. (  ) edwardsgt | Sep 3, 2009 | Another wild ride with Coben. As always, fast paced, lots of twists and turns that your not sure will get you anywhere, but somehow manage to conclude in a satisfying end. I appreciate how he puts the 'everyman' in extraordinary situations and makes it all very believable. (  ) tiddleyboom | Aug 27, 2009 | Ann  cmsteachers | Jul 10, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0525950605, Hardcover)#1 bestselling author Harlan Coben asks that provocative and terrifying question with his fifteenth thriller. How much do parents really want to know about their kids?#1 bestselling author Harlan Coben asks that provocative and terrifying question with his fifteenth thriller. #1 bestselling author Harlan Coben has become an unstoppable force in suspense fiction. His most recent novel, The Woods, spent more time on the New York Times bestseller list than his previous books and sales reached his highest levels to date. His latest page-turner, which is about just how far parents will go to protect their kids, is destined for the top of every bestseller list. Tia and Mike Baye never imagined they’d become the type of overprotective parents who spy on their kids. But their sixteen-year-old son Adam has been unusually distant lately, and after the suicide of his classmate Spencer Hill—the latest in a string of issues at school—they can’t help but worry. They install a sophisticated spy program on Adam’s computer, and within days are jolted by a message from an unknown correspondent addressed to their son: “Just stay quiet and all safe.” Meanwhile, browsing through an online memorial for Spencer put together by his classmates, Betsy Hill is struck by a photo that appears to have been taken on the night of her son’s death . . . and he wasn’t alone. She thinks it is Adam Baye standing just outside the camera’s range; but when Adam goes missing, it soon becomes clear that something deep and sinister has infected their community. For Tia and Mike Baye, the question they must answer is this: When it comes to your kids, is it possible to know too much?
