I haven't read a book by Harlan Coben for quite some time and I'd forgotten how good it is to cosy up with a book of his for a couple of hours. His plots are always well constructed with a puzzling mystery that takes a few twists and turns and keeps you thinking right up to the end. His characters are all interesting and well fleshed out so that you come to care about what happens to them.

I do, however, believe in major, more-than-just-physical attraction at first sight. I believe that every once in a while—once, maybe twice in a lifetime—you are drawn to someone so deeply, so primordially, so immediately—a stronger-than-magnetic pull. That was how it was with Natalie. Sometimes that is all there is. Sometimes it grows and gathers heat and turns into a glorious inferno that you know is real and meant to last forever.

The other problem with the love story is that the reader only apprehends Natalie through Jake’s narration. She’s an object rather than a participant. This distancing view of her makes it impossible to understand her. We know Jake will do anything to be with her but we never know her. It’s easy to quibble with the novel’s romantic elements. Mr. Coben didn’t set out to write a romance; he set out to write a damn good thriller.

Six years of keeping his promise to leave Natalie alone, and six years of tortured dreams of her life with her new husband, Todd. Forget about solving all these crimes; the signal triumph here is (spoiler) the heroine’s survival. Tell me those lines are funny. I find them really funny. The story is told by the main character, Jake Fisher, a professor so his narrative is a blend of smart, informative, instrospective, funny, sarcastic and a little bit (or a lot) cheesy. I don’t mind though because I completely enjoyed it. I was kept thinking hard throughout the plot. It was definitely mysterious-something I wouldn’t have easily predicted.
