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!

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.

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.

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.

another good one.

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

I read this book in two sittings. Then I thought about it as I was going to sleep, and I thought about it some more when I woke up the next morning. There are so many twists and turns to the plot that even though all is explained by the end, it still took more time to fully digest everything that had happened and the way the characters lives had intertwined. This is a highly suspenseful read, and a very intelligent thriller. Coben is fast becoming one of my favorite mystery authors.

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!
