"Once again Harlan Coben grabs hold of me with his novel! This is the kind of book that you just rush through because you can't figure out the mystery and just want to know what's going to happen! Couldn't put it down. Harlan Coben is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors!"
— Kim (5 out of 5 stars)
What Coben does best is take readers into his characters’ hearts and minds. His protagonists are just common folks, minding their own business when—bam!—they are drawn into a terrifying world of sordid crimes and mayhem.
— USA TodayA twist-filled triumph.

" Another great Coben book. I was guessing until the end. "
— Sharon, 2/18/2014" would have been higher rated but it tacked on a mega happy ending that completely ruined the tone. "
— NRL, 2/16/2014" This was great! The novel that got me into Harlan Coben in the first place - I have read at least four more from him and I am still yet to read one that topped this! "
— Emma, 2/11/2014" Recommend as a good, quick, summer read. Lots of twists and turns which keep you turning the page for resolution. "
— Trish, 2/2/2014" Very entertaining. It has themes that are similar to The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. However neither of the 2 main protagonists are as well developed as Larson's. The book moves along at a good pace and has a few twists. "
— Robert, 1/29/2014" The book jumped around a lot, but was good! "
— Ashlee, 1/27/2014" I love Harlen Coben books. His stories are fast paced and full of action. His characters are easy to picture and he always makes me feel as if I am actually present. "
— Mrs., 1/25/2014" This book was great from beginning to end....I had a hard time to stop reading. The story just kept pace from the beginning. Normally I have a hard time getting trough the first few chapters, but not with this book. I was hooked right from the beginning. "
— Kim, 1/23/2014" I enjoy this author and this one has some good twists and turns...the ex-con who finally has his life together becomes implicated in a series of events...don't want to spoil it but it's a great read. "
— Lee, 1/19/2014" Harlan Coben is just, quite simply, a great storyteller. This one has twists and turns you won't predict! "
— Moira, 12/31/2013" As usual, narrator Scott Brick does a fantastic job bringing these characters to life. And in terms of fast-paced action, twists and turns, Harlan Coben writes one mean thriller. "
— Robert, 12/17/2013" I really enjoyed this one. 4 1/2 stars. "
— Hope, 12/10/2013" Another solid thriller from Harlan Coben. This is not a Myron & Winn novel, but a stand alone, with a few of Myron's supporting cast. Good plot, kept me interested. "
— Mira, 11/20/2013" This was one of the best ones. Quick-paced plot with many twists. I thought I had it figured out, but I was wrong. "
— Sarah, 11/19/2013" a real page turner. A good book to read when your laying out at the beach. "
— Stephen, 10/4/2013" Good suspense book. "
— Lorena, 9/3/2013" Not Coben's best work. Without Bolitar as his main character I didn't enjoy his writing style. Plus the story was weak. "
— Sherry, 5/10/2013" Maintained the suspense throughout. Fast paced. Will try some more by thos author "
— Ros, 1/29/2013" Loved every single page of this book and can't wait read more of Harlen Coben's work as I'm new to the author. "
— Steven, 12/2/2012" Twists, turns and suspense at its finest. In true Coben style, characters carefully unfold leaving you surprised throughout and in the end.....satisfied. "
— Vivian, 8/15/2012" There were a ton of characters involved in this book but it was very fast paced and a very easy read. "
— Allie, 6/21/2012" Wow. It has been a long time since I have read a mystery that truly kept me engaged. I had a hard time putting down The Innocent; I got through it in 24 hours. This was my second Coben book and I highly recommend him. "
— Jo, 6/3/2012" As usual, great fun! "
— Katherine, 4/2/2012" One of those--can't put it down--then easily forgotten. "
— Barbara, 3/27/2012" This one took a long long time to bring the pieces together. I've only given it two stars because I almost put it down several times in the first half of the book. The second half of the book picked up nicely though. Can't recommend it. "
— Marji, 3/26/2012" Good book, gets, and keeps your interest all the way through. Harlan Coben is as good as James Paterson. "
— Nadine, 3/23/2012" my first Harlan Coben book and it was awesome. quite a page turner - didn't want to put it down! great book and i can't wait to read another one of his books. "

— B.D., 6/22/2011" good plot ....keeps you interested but...again, not very plausible. Intriguing and a book you won't want to put down until finished. "
— Renie, 4/19/2011" Once again Mr. Coben has delivered a captivating book with a final twist at the end. I suspected the twist and was please to be right! "
— Brad, 4/13/2011" Harlan Coben gives us another great thriller set in Reno and in New Jersey. I found myself hoping he would use these characters in a sequel. Lots of action and lessons on redemption, learning from past mistakes and appreciating the simple things. "
— Luckngrace, 4/11/2011" This was my favorite story of his I have read. Liked the nonperfect hero. "
— Lesa, 3/29/2011" This is a good book, but suffers from a bad start. The first few hours are depressing and the multiple story lines seem too detached. Then half way through you know a lot more and is captivating till the end with many plot twists. "
— Kendar88, 3/27/2011" I enjoyed this book very much. It was one of those that you want to keep reading and keep turning the page to find out what's going to happen next. "
— Laurie, 3/21/2011" Harlan Coben tells a good story. More potato chips. (This is the last one of the potato chip group.) "
— Jennifer, 3/19/2011" After reading a few of his books, they all start to sound alike. However, you will STILL not be able to figure out who did it! <br/> <br/> "
— Kendall, 3/17/2011" This was a pretty good book, but it just wasn't as good as the other two books of his that I have read. "
