Mistake made: Do not read back-to-back Harlan Coben books.... or maybe you can, except when the second book STINKS. Wow... did not like this book at all. The older I get, the less I enjoy any gratuitous violence that does not help the plot of the book along. This book has plenty. While I realize his books are --obviously-- fictional, this one is just too stupid. I actually was bored and had to force myself to read it. Not like his other work.
I think for me, nothing quite compares to the first time I ever read one of his books and was mesmorized. I haven't had that from him in the last few I've read... while the others were certainly decent, they aren't what his very early works were. I will read more, but I need a break. No need to discuss plot twists and turns - there are a few, of course - but overall, I'm underwhelmed by this one.
Did I like it? Um, read above. Recommend? Uh uh. There are plenty of better ones out there. Rating? 2 stars.
