Publisher Description
From the #1 New York Times bestselling master of suspense comes a fast-paced, emotion-packed novel about guilt, grief, and our capacity to forgive 17-year-old Haley McWaid is a good girl, the pride of her suburban New Jersey family, captain of the lacrosse team, headed off to college next year with all the hopes and dreams her doting parents can pin on her. Which is why, when her mother wakes one morning to find that Haley never came home the night before, and three months quickly pass without word from the girl, the community assumes the worst. Wendy Tynes is a reporter on a mission, to identify and bring down sexual predators via elaborate--and nationally televised--sting operations. Working with local police on her news program Caught in the Act, Wendy and her team have publicly shamed dozens of men by the time she encounters her latest target. Dan Mercer is a social worker known as a friend to troubled teens, but his story soon becomes more complicated than Wendy could have imagined. In a novel that challenges as much as it thrills, filled with the astonishing tension and unseen suburban machinations that have become Coben's trademark, Caught tells the story of a missing girl, the community stunned by her loss, the predator who may have taken her, and the reporter who suddenly realizes she can't trust her own instincts about this story-or the motives of the people around her.

""Another Coben page turner. Caught tells the story of Dan Mercer, accused of being a pedophile and set up in a televised sting by reporter Wendy Tynes. However she begins to question whether Dan is really guilty, and as she investigates, we discovers that 3 out of 4 of his college roommates were also involved in scandals in the last year. Her investigation unravels a complex web of secrets that keep you guessing until the very end.""

— Linda, 9/29/2013 -
" What a page turner! So many twists and turns. Suprise after suprise ending. I love the way Coben takes 3 separate stories and briads them together in such a way. "
— Michele, 8/27/2013 -
" VG thriller, lots of twists. "
— Anna, 8/2/2013 -

— Larry, 7/23/2013 -
" Great story. Very thought provoking. "
— Troy, 7/2/2013 -
" I rushed through this one, missing Coben's signature humour and sarcasm. Not the best of his works. Wendy shouldn't have been tha main character, Dan should, period. Ms Opinion voicer. "
— Sharon, 6/5/2013 -
" Pretty well anything by Coben is a good read. There are one or two twists in the plot that I never saw coming. The story demonstrates why there are trials instead of vigilantism. "
— E.R., 11/27/2012 -
" It was an entertaining read that didn't require much brainpower. Characters and plot were not overly complex, but nor were they entirely superficial. "
— Chris, 11/21/2012 -
" True to form, lots of twists in this one. I did figure out one twist very early, which was a little disappointing, but not enough to stop me from tearing through it. Like most of his books, this was hard to put down. "
— Jennifer, 8/16/2012 -
" This author is uneven to me. Several of his novels I've abandoned halfway through but when he's good he's wicked good. Loved it. The plotting is tighter than Scrooge's chain purse, and all the events seemed probable to me. BEST Coben ever. "
— Sloane, 6/29/2012 -
" I'm a big Harlan Coben fan. I never have to worry about whether or not I'll like one of his books. Caught is one of his typical family mysteries with some of his usual characters, and, like normal, it was good. It wasn't as gripping as some of his have been, but it was still really enjoyable. "
— Loren, 6/4/2012 -
" Scary and very satisfying! Along with an intriguing story it also explores themes of resonsibility, guilt, grief and forgiveness. "
— P, 4/12/2012 -
" A great murder mystery book with a number of twists. Well worth reading. "
— Susan, 2/10/2012 -
" Oops, I already read this. Knew it sounded familiar! "

— Chris, 12/12/2011 -
" I love Harlon Coben books. This one was fantastic, and the little hint of MB Reps was just icing on the cake. A must read for Coben fans! "
— Dawn, 11/7/2011 -
" Dug it, but can't really remember what happened a month later. Such is the life of a page turner reader. "
— Bill, 9/29/2011 -
" I haven't read a lot of Harlan Coben books, but so many people tell me how awesome they are, I picked this one up off the clearance table at Walmart. What a find!! This is absolutely one of the best "Who done it" books I've read in a while. If you like mysteries, you'll love this one. "
— Kelly, 8/9/2011 -
" I really like Harlan Coben books....but sometimes the very end seems to drag on. I guess he has such an imagination and the endings are just so "twisted" it takes a bit to explain all the details! "
— Sherry, 5/28/2011 -
" Pretty good. Decent plot twists. Was kept guessing until the end. "
— Blwhetzel, 5/21/2011 -
" Quick read, lots of plot twists, plucky main character. "

— Adria, 5/20/2011 -
" Great book!!! I am now a devoted Harlan Coben fan. "
— Danielle, 5/19/2011 -
" Classic Harlan Coben. Really enjoyed it . It has current event elements to the story such as parents allowing their kids and friends to drink in their house and at times got just the slightest bit preachy. Still, I read it in less than a day and enjoyed it greatly. "
— Paula, 5/18/2011 -
" Caught is a quick read with lots of twists and turns. It is a mystery and I wanted to find out how this all happened. I thought that one part of the ending was a bit far-fetched but otherwise I found it an enjoyable book. "
— Joanne, 5/17/2011 -
" I am really tired of the news reporter turned detective stories that also depict the real detective/cop as a bumbling yokel. This book was that in a nutshell. "
— Elizabeth, 5/17/2011 -
" This book was awesome! Definitely one of his best! "
— Jessica, 5/17/2011 -
" Fun read with lots of twists and turns. I enjoy this author immensely. "
— Leslie, 5/16/2011 -
" A TV newscaster sets up a sting operation to nail an alleged pedophile. She is successful and opens up a typical Harlan Coben can of worms. Don't try to figure this one out as you are led through a maze of twists, turns, smoke and mirrors. <br/> "
— Chuck, 5/15/2011 -
" Harlan Coben does a great job with his novel Caught! He weaves the stories of the people in the town together into a web of action, suspense and mystery. I stayed up last night to see how it all turned out and it was well worth it! "
— Lisa, 5/14/2011 -
" I wanted to give it 3 1/2 stars but that is not an option here. 4 stars and above to me means that it is a must read. This book was almost there. Still I was happy to be reading a Coben book as he is one of my favorite authors! "
— Lisa, 5/13/2011 -
" What a great story! I was hooked and had to read it during my breaks at work just so I could get through it. Coban is a master at weaving a tale. Especially good for someone who lives in New Jersey ;-) (just kidding). "
— Dennis, 5/13/2011
