Mystery

How does Coben do it??? He writes books with so many characters and always more than one complicated arrrangement of events that seem to interweave! How an author can BE so many peoplle are he creates action and dialogue always amazes me. I'm sort of trying to read Coben's books in order ---and I'm so happy there are so many!!! ( )

Complex revenge plot relating to college-era disfigurement of a woman, investigated by a TV reporter who falsely entrapped one of the five perps. ( )

Ok, I had vowed that if this book annoyed or bored me as badly as the last couple of Coben's books, this was the last of his that I was reading. Well, I'll be reading his next publication. Coben did an great job on this. He took two seemingly unrelated stories and managed to weave them intricately and beautifully together. The twists and turns at the end were completely plausible. One point of the ending I had actually guessed at, but at another point in the story, I figured I was wrong. It was nice to see brief flashes of old favorite characters from previous stories showing up plausibly in this new tale without feeling forced.

I highly recommend this book if you're a fan of Coben, or just well written thrillers. ( )

Like most Harlan Coben books, this one comes with a twist. It's not the most fast paced or thrilling "who-done-it," but it was fairly entertaining nonetheless. ( )
