This is a terrific read, and for me, another example of why Coben is so popular. It begins with the entrapment of a man who appears to have groomed a young woman on the internet. Instead of the girl, he finds a TV crew who film his responses to their sting operation, and soon he is in court. But, he’s found innocent on a technicality – a pretty big technicality, too. The reporter, Wendy Tynes is very upset that her perfect capture failed to have this paedophile thrown behind bars. There can be l...
It was hard not to get "caught" up in this novel (excuse my corny pun). If you haven't read a Coben novel you're missing out. This guy can write books like no one's business. He is to mystery writing as Reba is to country music. Coben is one of the best, if not THE BEST mystery authors out there. My life goal is to read all his books! :) his books are my happy place!This book was another one of his that had twists and turns and at the very end knocks you back and does a one eighty and I FREAKING...
Wow! When you read this one you will need to take notes, create a flow chart, etc. and I bet you still won't see anything coming. Not only did keep thinking that I had guessed where the story was going, Coben had me convinced I was right and the BAM! nope . . . wrong again! This happened about 10 times. Only 4 stars because it didn't blow me away, but it was very good.Also, the mid-life crisis men's club was pretty funny. And, bonus appearance by Win from the Bolitar series.
I think if I'd read a paper copy I'd have rated more highly. True to form though, Mr Coben has delivered an enjoyable romp into quite a windy sojourn of twists, turns and cul-de-sacs.Ultimately this book was quite satisfying in terms of the ending, but in getting there I felt it was just too slow. In a way, it felt like it kept going and going.. In saying that though, I did like the epilogue, that was satisfaction for me. Whilst this is not my favourite of this author, I still very much look for...
3.5 stars Review to follow
Caught by Harlan Coben is a 2010 Dutton publication.Remember those shows where pedophiles were lured into a sting operation, thinking they were meeting up with an underage girl, only to find themselves under arrest and embarrassed on national television?Well, this is the story of Dan Mercer, a man who walks into that same kind of trap- and Wendy Tynes is the reporter who set him up. When things take an unexpected and shocking turn, it leaves Wendy with more questions than answers. Meanwhile, the...
April2020 Reading with Action/Adventure Aficionados group here:https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...This was an excellent read again, although I kind of knew what was coming. The first time was better, but this time I could appreciate the foreshadowing & clues better. I've also read most of the Myron Bolivar series, so I appreciated Win more.Nov2018The first book I read by him was Play Dead, the first he published & it wasn't that great. This author was recommended by my dentist, so I gave hi...
I usually cannot stand books with characters who're idiots or plots that rely on those characters being idiots, but this one wasn't so bad. In fact, I had a damn good time. I've met single-cell organisms with more going on upstairs than reporter and all around doofus Wendy, but Harlan Coben made her extremely easy to read about. There's no way she could've put any of the ending together by herself, but the journey was twisty enough that it kept my attention. Oh, and I know Coben has a long-runni...
Harlan Coben, the King of mystery/thriller writing, has done it again 👑I think his books pretty much guarantee a twisty ride with an ending you don't expect - Caught is no exception.My one thing with this though is that the story wasn't hugely memorable. Even as I'm writing this the day after finishing it, I had to have a good think for a moment to remember what it was actually about... 🤔But alas, if you need something to fill the thrillometer, Harlan Coben is the go to.
I finished this book yesterday and as I read the last few lines I couldn't help remarking to myself that this had to be Coben's best one yet. The pacing was break neck, the characters though all different and some as dysfunctional as a human can get - were believable, some even sympathetic, and some NOT, which is as it should be. Our heroine is an investigative news reporter and a single mom who gets embroiled in job related issues (not good ones) and a murder mystery involving a major college,
