Search - Just One Look

Another good Harlan Coben. I wouldn't say it's his best though. I thought the ending was a little too stretched out and sort of a lame twist...but overall I enjoyed the book.

Grace Lawson is a happily married mother whose life is turned upside down after she receives an old photograph of her husband with a group of people. When she asks her husband Jack about the photos origins, he immediately disappears. When he finally telephones briefly, Grace senses that he is in danger. Her efforts to protect her family force her to investigate secrets which others will kill to protect.

Like all of Harlan Coben's standalone thrillers, Just One Look is very suspenseful. The super-scary Eric Wu is back,. The occasional violent scenes are balanced by warm ones; indeed one of Coben's strengths is creating characters you cheer for because they act with the interests of their loved ones at heart.

The ending (which I will not give away) was complicated and perhaps a bit more contrived than some of his other books. Coben's books are always worth the ride though.

Another great one by Harlan Coben. He is the master of the genre. Plot twists and clues revealed most unexpectedly keep you guessing right up until the end. And just when you think the story is over and all has been revealed--BAM--a new twist. Great book!

Great suspenseful story, lovin Coben's writing. The ending seemed a bit rushed, but didn't distract from the good story.

Author writes great novels, this is right up there with his best. . . You do have to focus to keep up with all the characters, but well worth the suspence. . .This isnt a Myron Bolitar series book, although those are good also.. . More than 4 starts from me

Really good mystery.
