Sinossi
Lo sconosciuto appare dal nulla, magari in un bar, in un parcheggio o al supermercato. La sua identità è un enigma. Le sue motivazioni sono misteriose. Le sue informazioni sono accurate e inconfutabili. Ti sussurra qualcosa all’orecchio e poi scompare, lasciandoti da solo a raccogliere i pezzi del tuo mondo che ha appena distrutto…
Adam Price sta vivendo il sogno americano. Ha una moglie, Corinne, di cui è innamorato, due figli meravigliosi, una grande casa e un lavoro ben pagato. Finché, in quella che doveva essere una serata come tante, si imbatte in uno sconosciuto. L’uomo gli si avvicina e gli rivela un segreto devastante proprio su Corinne, e la vita di Adam crolla come un castello di carte. Lui e la moglie hanno una discussione accesa e, poco dopo, lei scompare nel nulla, abbandonando casa, figli e lavoro. Adam non riesce a darsi pace. Come faceva lo sconosciuto a sapere quelle cose su sua moglie? C’entra qualcosa con la sua sparizione? Questi semplici sospetti conducono presto Adam a invischiarsi in una trama ben più fitta: lo sconosciuto infatti non ha sussurrato solo al suo orecchio, ma ha rivelato segreti indicibili ad altre persone, conoscenti, amici, vicini. Ha in pugno la vita di tutti loro e minaccia non solo di rovinarla, ma di mettervi tragicamente fine.
Perché lo fa? Cosa vuole? Chi è? E soprattutto: come fermarlo?

Recensioni
I am not ashamed to say that I am one of Harlan Coben's loyal fans. I love his fast-paced, all engrossing mystery suspense thrillers. He is my go to when I just want to forget about my crappy life and read about someone else's crappy life. These stories remind me how things could be so much worse. C Leggi tutto
Adam Price is married with two sons and is living a pretty good life in Cedarfield, New Jersey. One day a guy/stranger comes up to Adam in the American Legion Hall (where a meeting for his son's lacrosse team is being held) and tells Adam that his wife faked a pregnancy. Adam doesn't know what to ma Leggi tutto
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
I gave this book 2 stars for 2 reasons- 1, the author was Harlan Coben whom I love and 2, it kept me needing to finish it to find out how the ridiculous plot and storyline ended. It was like watching a train wreck-- you know you don't want to look, but you have to. This was by far the WORST Harlan C Leggi tutto
I just found out that there’s a Netflix TV show based on this book, and I loved this book so much and I'm not sure whether to scream or cry 😭😭😭
The Hook - My number came up on the reserve list at the library and I thought “Why not?” The Line –“Feeding teenage boys was like filling a bathtub with a grapefruit spoon.” The Sinker – ”The Stranger appears out of nowhere, perhaps in a bar, or a parking lot, or at the grocery store. His identity is Leggi tutto
Δε μου ταίριαξε δυστυχώς... Και ενώ η ιδέα του να κάθεσαι κάπου ήρεμος και ξαφνικά ένας ξένος να σου αποκαλύπτει κάποιο τρομερό μυστικό που σου αλλάζει τη ζωή, μου φάνηκε πολλά υποσχόμενη, η εκτέλεση εν τέλει δε με ικανοποίησε. 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
