I need to rant and to vent, so here it goes! Beware this review IS FULL of SPOILERS:So, this is just my second Harlan Coben book; just finished 'THE STRANGER' which I loved, propelling me to read his latest offering immediately after. Even though I am semi virgin to his books and style, I do understand the author is known to follow a certain formula and insert a few basic plot themes repeatedly in all his books. I get it!Until that ‘oh so shocking final twist’ – Maya being Joe’s killer and actua...
This review can also be found at Carole's Random Life.I loved this book! I am a huge fan of Harlan Coben's work and have been so for years. I have enjoyed some of his books more than others but I have yet to come across one that I didn't like. I have come to expect a few things from a Harlan Coben book over the years. I love the twists and turns found in his stories and I really enjoy seeing Mr. Coben's sense of humor work its way into the books. This book exceeded all of my expectations and eve...
I read my first Harlan Coben novel about 4 years ago, a book titled “Caught.” I loved it! Great story, great writing, great characters and endless plot twists and turns.I read a second Coben novel and yet again, was floored Great story, great writing, great characters and endless plot twists and turns. A third novel by him moved him into my “very exclusive” list of Top 5 authors. A fourth novel moved him into my top three.I read a fifth novel.It was when I was reading my sixth novel by Harlan Co...
This is one of those books that has such an intriguing twist at the end that you want to go back and read it again with the information you now have! It was very well managed and I was clueless!I must admit that occasionally in the first half of the book the thought did cross my mind that this was not as good as the Myron Bolitar books. Maya did a lot of mental self evaluation and once or twice I am sure I muttered out loud something like "Oh do get on with it!" I am prone to do that with audio
One day Maya (a former special ops pilot) sees, on her nanny cam, her husband Joe sitting with her daughter Lily. But how can that be? Joe was killed a few weeks ago. Maya’s sister has also been killed recently. Is there a connection? As Maya begins to investigate and dig deep into things, she finds someone is out to get her too…I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Maya was a very bold and gutsy character. She was no shrinking violet, she went out and really tried to get some answers. I found her bac...
The release of a new Harlan Coben book is something I mark on my calendar. Seriously. "New Coben book!" is a reason to celebrate.I've been enjoying Coben's novels for several years now, so you can understand how excited I was when I received an advance copy to review. I think I jumped up and down and shrieked.Fool Me Once is another good thriller, one that kept twisting and turning until the final pages. The story follows Maya, a battle-weary veteran whose home life is turned upside down when he...
This is an amazing and totally engrossing page-turner with an ending you won't see coming. One of the very best endings to a mystery suspense-thriller I've ever read ...EVER. Former Special Ops pilot, Maya (she's kind of a bad-ass and I loved her), witnesses the murder of her husband, shot right in front of her in a public park at night, leaving her a widow and a single mother to their two-year-old daughter, Lily.The murder was never solved. What exactly happened that night? and why? Then, Maya
3.5* Attending a funeral is hard to do, especially if you are a widow with a two year old daughter to raise on your own. Somehow Maya Stern is able to hold it all together, most likely from her training as a special ops pilot. Having witnessed her husband’s murder, she has to stay focused and remain strong. After the funeral, Eileen, a close friend, gives her a gift; a nanny cam. Although Maya trusts her nanny completely, she decides to set it up where her daughter would be playing during the da...
