I appreciated this book for what it was – an action packed page turning mystery with a moderate attempt at some depth that challenges you to read it in an entire afternoon. Some of the characters may make you roll your eyes, but each chapter’s end makes you forget your qualms and want to plow through the rest; Coben sucks you into the story so that even if parts annoy you, you are desperate to know how it ends.
This was my first Coben book, and like most mystery/thrillers, I tend to be favorable in my reviews because I’m so caught up in the action. If you are the type to endlessly question, you and I probably might just have to agree to disagree with this genre. I call these types of books slump-kickers, because they draw me in. To be sure, they are not Pulitzer prize winning literature quality, but they still have their place in my stack. I could not read them exclusively nor could I forsake them forever.
The loss of Dr David Beck’s young wife plagues him, so if you want to know what happened to Elizabeth or if she is still alive, support your library and check out Tell No One.

I love Coben and this was my first read from him. I’ve since read them all. There is also a Frence movie of this book that’s pretty good. I tacam out a few years ago and won some fancy French movie awards :)
