Search - No Second Chance

THIS MAN KNOWS HOW TO KEEP YOU UP ALL NIGHT
I read this book with trepidation. Recently having read my first Harlan Coben book Tell No One and recommending it to everyone, I feared my initial enthusiasm might be in vain. My worry was unfounded. Again Mr. Coben proves he knows how to grab you and not let go until the rollercoaster ride has mercifully ended. What a storyteller!

Excellent Book! Can't put it down!!!!

This one kept me guessing until the end. Great read.

I practically read this book in one sitting - I couldn't put it down! It sucked me in from the very first chapter. The action and suspense kept coming, and I couldn't wait to see what was about to happen next. It kept me guessing, right up until the final pages. I will definitely be checking out more of Harlan Coben's books - he might just be my new favorite author.

MY FAVORITE AUTHOR

Thought it was really good...keeps you guessing.

Excellent Book. If you enjoy Patricia Cornwell and David Baldacci you will love this book.

Absolutely love this author. Great mix of suspense, romance and mystery to keep you hooked from page to page. Highly recommend.

A taut, fast paced thriller, that kept my attention from beginning to end.

Great book! Christine

Great page turner.

From Publishers Weekly: "Supercharged by a father's fierce drive to rescue his kidnapped daughter, Coben's third stand-alone thriller proves far more gripping than his second, Tell No One. Marc Seidman, a plastic surgeon near New York City, wakes up in a hospital to learn that he has been gravely wounded, his wife shot dead and his infant daughter, Tara, snatched. The ensuing narrative, which shuttles between third person and Marc's first person, covers more than a year in Marc's hunt for Tara and climaxes twice with his fumbling of payments in response to ransom demands, plunging him into despair. A smartly drawn supporting cast supports Marc in his quest, including an old girlfriend-an ex-FBI agent-who reappears in his life; Marc's lawyer, who's also his best friend; a cop/FBI duo who for a while suspect Marc of engineering the snatch and ransom demands; and a working-class hero who joins forces with Marc near the end of his hunt and steals every scene he's in. On the villain's side lurk several shady folk, including a psychopathic former child star and her hulking boyfriend. The plot is overly complicated, and there's a revelation at book's end that veteran thriller readers will have sussed out long before. Those flaws matter little, though, in the face of the emotional onslaught of Marc's gut-wrenching, self-questioning, relentless narration, which will carry readers like a tidal wave through the novel's twists and turns. What Coben's thriller lacks in originality, it makes up for in sheer vigor; few browsers or dippers will put this down." Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.

This is a great book. Harlan Coben never lets you down.

Marc Seidman awakens to fine himself in an ICU, hooked up to an IV,his head swathed in bandages. Twelve days earlier, He'd had an enviable life as a successful surgeon, living in a peaceful suburban neighborhood with his beautiful wifr and baby he adored. Now he lies in a hospital bed, shot by an unseen assailant. His wife has been killed, and his six-month old daughter has vanished. But just when his world seems forever shattered, something arrives to give him new hope: a ransom note.

Hard cover book. I love his work. Good book.

Compelling mystery with more twists and turns than a curly noodle!

Excellent!

FROM FRONT COVER: If you contact the authorities, we disappear. You will never know what happened to her. We will be watching. We want two million dollars. Go home and wait. There will be NO SECOND CHANCE.

Get shot and then chase after the shooters only to find that you are not as popular as you once thought you were.

Very intense read. I couldn't put it down.
