Mr C at his good, but not best. Still enjoyable though. There were some funny one liners which I did not note down as this was an audio read. This still is not the best format for me, very easily distracted. I found it was not as exciting as many of his others, the ending waned and I was losing interest.

Quite a generic tale of lies, deceit and a missing person or two. Megan has fled from a dangerous scenario and we witness the nearly 20 year finale to the unfolding of the sordid tale.

Loved the character of Ray Levigne, but did not feel much for Megan. Megan's husband Dave was quite bland, and I think the detective character, Broome could have done with some extra flesh (as in oomph). As always though, he's awesome at witty one liners and I love this guy's writing!

I have loads more of Mr C's books to read. Yay! They all can't be out of the park. I liked, not loved.

Liz A very thoughtful review, Suzanne! I still, STILL have not read any Harlan Coben books. Any recommendations?

Suz Yes Liz I can help you here! I've recommended to many friends his stand alone Six Years and the delectable series debut Drop Shot. The characters in these are great, as is his partner, I guess you'd call him.. Thanks for asking!

Brina Suzanne lovely review. I also still haven't read any Coben books. Perhaps, I should.

Suz Please do, Brina. But I know how it is - so many books, too little time ;))

Christine Excellent review, Suzanne. I am wary of audio as I think I would be too easily distracted in general, like you were with this particular book.


message 9: by Suz (new) - rated it 3 stars

Suz Thanks Chris, I keep persisting with audio as I hate to waste the 'read' time!
