Good book!

The beginning of this story wasn't all that happy, but things really started to pick up around half way through. I don't want to say too much that wasn't mentioned in the synopsis and risk giving things away, but once passed the midway mark I just wanted to read the rest of the book through in one sitting!

I noticed some similarities between the main character in this book and the one in Tell No One (the only other Coben book I've read), and I wonder if that's common to most of Coben's books. There was also a very brief appearance in this story by a character from Tell No One, which was kind of fun. If you read them both, maybe you'll spot her too!

COBEN IS UNPUTDOWNABLE.

Fantastic story -- twists and turns throughout and you will most likely read very quickly! Typical Harlan Coben -- I highly recommend!

I just finished this book and I feel like I've gone on a hell of a roller coaster ride without even leaving home. WOW! This book was absolutely incredible! Every time I thought I had it figured out, Coben came up with another twist to make me question my theories or spin them into nothing but complete chaos. The man is absolutely genius when it comes to thinking up plot twists and turns to keeping the reader second-guessing.

If you like a book that will keep you guessing all the way to the very last page, then run - don't walk - to your nearest library or book store and get your hands on this book! If you want something a little more sedate and bland, then you may wish to just leave this book alone because once you start reading, you won't be able to stop -- just like when you strap in to a real roller coaster ride.

Awesome book! Kept me guessing. Lots of twists!

I hated, hated this book while reading it. Did not like the direction it was going, too many characters to keep track of, very few characters with redeeming qualities....etc. However, the ending took care of all that. Read with care. Enjoy.

This is the second Harlan Coben book I have read. I previously read "No Second Chance" and I couldn't put it down, so I was looking forward to reading his other novels. I picked this one up next. I started out slightly disappointed. I thought the first half of the book was a little bit slow and I wasn't really getting into it. I just couldn't see where the story was leading to. However, the second half of the book contained lots of twists and turns and exciting moments and I couldn't put it down - I just had to see what was going to happen next. The ending really threw me for a loop, and I think that, ultimately, the story came together very well.

I would definitely recommend this book to mystery/suspense fans, and I would encourage anyone to give the book a chance, even if you don't find the first part to be very intriguing. It gets better - I promise. I will definitely be reading more Harlan Coben in the future.

Will has proof that the brother he thought has been dead for 11 years is alive. Stunning revelations force Will to confront truths about his brother and himself. A violent mystery unwinds. The most powerful surprises are yet to come.

I couldn' put this one down---unexpected twists and turns all over the place, but logical when you look back on it. Heavy duty suspense, with characters you care about.

From back cover: As a boy, Will Klein had a hero; his older brother, Ken. Then, on a warm suburban night in the Kleins' affluent New Jersey neighborhood, a young woman--a girl Will had once loved--was found brutally murdered in her family's basement. The prime suspect: Ken Klein. With the evidence against him overwhelming, Ken simply vanished. And when his shattered family never heard from Ken again, they were sure he was gone for good.
Now eleven years have passed. Will has found proof that Ken is alive. And this is just the first in a series of stunning revelations as Will is forced to confront startling truths about his brother, and even himself. As a violent mystery unwinds around him, Will knows he must press his serach all the way to the end. Because the most powerful surprises are yet to come.

another good one.

Another great story from a great author. I've recently discovered Coben and enjoy his books; great twists and storyline.

I like the book but not as well as I like some other of Coben's books. I especially like the Bolitar series but this is not one of that series. It is a very suspenseful book and will keep you turning the pages.

The story is okay but graphically violent and I just couldn't read it any more. I will never know how it turned out but just couldn't abide the violence.

excellent, a real page turner and you never expect the ending.

Another good Coben book. Full of twists and turns and several characters that fit neatly together at the end. i have officially read all of the Harlan Coben books that are not Myron Bolitar books finishing this one and I am hoping he has more to write.

Could not put this book down, read the whole book in two sittings, a page turner from end to end, full of suspense.

Eleven years ago, Will Klein's brother, Ken vanished after a young woman was found brutally murdered in her family's basement. When the family never heard from Ken they were sure he was dead. Now after eleven years Will has found proof that Ken is alive. As a violent mystery unwinds around him, Will know he must press his search all the way to the end. Because the most powerful surprises are yet to come.

This book proves why it was a New York Times bestseller.

Another great roller-coaster Coben thriller that you can't fully figure out until the denouement. He's a strong writer who keeps the thread of the story firmly and elegantly in control. Love his books!

Good mystery!!

enjoyable
