My first favorite read of 2016! Holy cow, I had hunches, I solved some clues, I even thought out the chain of events. NEVER in a million years would I have seen the ending coming. Brilliant, clever, and an emphatically cunning crime mystery!!! Bravo Harlan Coben!! A must-read for my fellow readers. I couldn't put the book down it was so white-knuckle gripping!Yes, I did it again. I am addicted. It's like crack. or the crack of an ass. I can feel the damage being done to my brain as I read page after implausible page and I wince at phrase after ham-handed phrase but still I keep going. As McDonalds is to one's arteries so is Coben to ones brain. What is the cranial equivalent of an oxygen tank and an electric wheel chair, and a long day spent drooling through the aisles at Wal-mart? That is what Coben is, what he does to me. God, I hate him. God, I
WOW! That's the first thing I said to my self after finishing this book. Twist after Twist after Twist. Really a good book.
Yet another loved-one-presumed-dead-but-look-may-still-be-alive-and-in-hiding story from Harlan Coben. I'm about 25% through, and may ditch it. It's just not grabbing me. Also not buying into the constant over-the-top emo from the main character. Could be I'm over Harlan Coben's writing style and plotlines, since neither one ever changes. Same story, different book.UPDATE: I'm out. Made it halfway through, but it just wasn't worth reading any further.
FROM THE BLURBAs a boy, Will Klein had a hero: his older brother, Ken.

I love this author. I've read many a book by him. This is a crime/mystery book and I liked this one. I loved all the twists, especially the unexpected ones at the end. It was well done. Harlan also does a great job with his characters....and most of them are incredibly likable. I like when I care about them, especially Will. So 4 stars.
The absolute best H.C. novel to date and that's saying something. The plots, subplots, sub-sub plots are endless and will probably keep you guessing. However, I did figure this one out early on haha, then changed my mind a bit later, and then after a while decided on a different direction, and finally found myself out in left-field out of smokes with an empty beer can. What can I say? A very clever story with so many subtle twists and turns, gut wrenching and spine tingling one moment and somber
