First Thoughts

I’m really exited to read this book.  I’ve seen a few Netflix shows that have been made on other Harlan Coben books, and really enjoyed them. 

While Reading

This is such a hard book to review because while I was reading it was going in and out of different people while still on Wendy. But I will try my best. 

I found that some of the characters such as Ed really annoying.  I don’t know what it was about him that I found annoying but I did. 

What I’ve learnt about books like this is to be suspicious of everyone. Men, women, children, mum and dad, grandparents, cops, lawyers.  It doesn’t matter who they are. Be suspicious of them. 

• There is so much happening within the book you really can’t tell what’s the truth. A missing teenager, a man who was accused of being a pedophile whose case was thrown out but he goes on

• The ‘missing’ link in the Princeton group, who isn’t on any social media and has nothing/anything online about him is a little suspicious. It’s more than likely designed like that.  

• Do I think that Dan is guilty of what’s he’s being accused off.  I’m flipping back and forth.  I think it’s crazy that the police suddenly find a missing girls cell phone in his room when he’s been murdered and his body is missing. 

• Ok so I’m obsessed. I’m less than 100 pages from finishing the book and the twists and turns.   Omg. I’m in shock. 
• Even when the obvious is staring me in the face I am so sow to catch on. 

Conclusion 

This is such a good book.  It’s so fast passed.  It pretty much all over the place when reading, it flips between people, but it works out really well. As I got closer to the end of the book, and I mean the last few chapters it reminded me of a Netflix show I’d seen, one based on a Harlan Coben Book. For me I felt that Wendy was really judgemental and just wanted an easy ride in her job and didn’t do enough research when it came to Dan.  

In some places it felt that it was way to easy to pass the blame onto Dan for the missing teenager, and that Wendy should’ve listened to those who knew Dan. But her pride and ego got in the way to much.  

With the group of men that went to Princeton with Dan all had their flaws, because of one night, and it took a toll on them in differently.  

The end of the book really had me shook.  I felt that it came together nicely.
