Full disclosure here I decided to read this book after watching the Netflix series based on it. I really liked the series and thought I’d have a go at the book. Not to spoil anything but the book and the series are very different with regards to some key elements. I found both to be very engaging an Leggi tutto

I am a huge fan of Harlan Coben. My favorite, like everyone else, is the Myron Bolitar series. Just the best! This one is a stand-alone suspense novel that fully delivers in true Coben style. Can you keep a secret? Not if The Stranger is nearby.... There is a man, who refers to himself as The Stra

Επιφανειακοί χαρακτήρες με τους οποίους δεν κατάφερα να δεθώ (πολλοί απ'τ Leggi tutto

☆☆½ l 48% from the very first pages, this book enthralled me with its writing. the technique and style of setting up suspenseful writing and motivation for me to read this book were done perfectly. the sentences conveyed just enough but also not enough, so that i would keep reading. there were also r Leggi tutto

Theres no denying it, I am a Harlan Coben groupie, you would think by book 18 I would be getting tired of him. Nope, in fact I have to ration out his remaining books so I always have some in reserve. I was rushed into reading this as far too many people were talking about the Netflix show and I was a Leggi tutto
