Helpful Score: 2
Harlan Coben's standalone books are so great that I have to pace myself - I only read one every so often as a treat because I don't want to get through them all. No Second Chance does not disappoint - I read through this 400+ page book in two sittings.
The book opens with a bang (literally). Marc Seidman is shot and winds up in a coma in the hospital. He regains consciousness to learn that his wife is dead and his infant daughter is missing. Marc's wealthy father in law is contacted with a ransom offer, but he is warned not to contact the authorities. They do so anyway, so when the exchange goes wrong Marc decides he must pursue the killers/kidnappers himself in order to get his daughter back.
No Second Chance is full of the usual Coben twists and turns. I was a little disappointed that I guessed one aspect of the ending, which was a first, but it did not make this book any less enjoyable or suspenseful. Like his other books, most of the chapters of this one are in first person, and the reader will find his or herself rooting for Dr. Seidman.
