• Awesome! I started to read in hospital and could not put it down even though I was in pain after surgery. This is a real page turner.Coben really had fun with the characters making u guess who was the murderer. I won't be giving anything away, but it was a thriller from start to finish!!!

• WOW! I think that's a good word for this book. This is a book that Harlan Coben wrote but never published - I'm not sure what made him to decide to publish it now but I'm glad he did. It was really good. I must say that I thought some of it was a little far fetched but Harlan does a very good job at stringing you along with no clear answers for a long time leaving you guessing the whole time. Definite recommend for anyone who likes a good mystery/suspense.

• This book comes with a chummy introduction by the author much like the ones you sometimes get in Stephen King novels, warning the reader that this is an early book and not up to the same standards as his most recent stuff. This had the effect of reducing my expectations to near zero, but having finished it I'd have to say this is as good as anything else I've read by him, and in some cases, better. It has an airier feel - more breathing space, fewer wisecracks (though I don't always dislike those).If I'm going to find fault, it's going to be with the whodunnit element - there weren't enough characters to make it a challenge. I did guess the 'why' as well as the 'who' and i don't manage that very often. And why why why do all the female characters have to have perfect bodies? The fact that they all have to be candidates for Mensa as well doesn't make it right.But the book had me gripped from page one, even after I had guessed at the secrets. It keeps events coming thick and fast, and ultimately it goes the way the reader wants it to.

• My reading of the Coben library is complete now that I have completed his first published novel. And I have to extend a large thank you to whomever had the brilliance to republish this book as I've been on the hunt for it for at least a year to no avail. Coben is a master at thrillers and plot twists and it's only gotten better over the years. The only hang up I had on this book was that no one would figure out Baskin's secret, but it was a page-turner to the very end.
