Description

“A compelling and original suspense thriller.”—Los Angeles Times “Harlan Coben is the modern master of the hook-and-twist.”—Dan Brown For Dr. David Beck, the loss was shattering. And every day for the past eight years, he has relived the horror of what happened. The gleaming lake. The pale moonlight. The piercing screams. The night his wife was taken. The last night he saw her alive. Everyone tells him it’s time to move on, to forget the past once and for all. But for David Beck, there can be no closure. A message has appeared on his computer, a phrase only he and his dead wife know. Suddenly Beck is taunted with the impossible—that somewhere, somehow, his wife is alive . . . and he’s been warned to tell no one. Read more

  • Would make a good movie
Format: Kindle
Lots of turns and twists. Keeps you interested. The writer didn't drag it out by using repetitive info. I would definitely read another book by Harlan Coben.

I definitely loved this book! It kept me on the edge of my seat! It was hard to breathe at times wondering how a person would get out of such a fix.

  • Fast paced, action packed thrill ride
Format: Kindle
This is my first novel I have read by Harlan Coben. Although it has been printed over 25 years ago, it just recently showed up on my books you may be interested list. This novel is fast piece, filled with mystery and suspense. The protagonist, David is a very likable young pediatric physician. In the very beginning of the book, we learn that David’s lifelong love, and Wife Elizabeth was murdered by a serial killer. Eight years later, in the present time, while working David receives a strange email with some information that only his late wife would know. This is the start of a roller coaster of emotions, leading him on a life changing week. After every strange piece of information he learns he seems to lean something even more perplexing. He questioned his sanity several times. I’m going to share some spoilers, lol but for others, I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes thrillers, suspense, mysteries, etc. SPOILER ALERT: David and Elizabeth have been nearly inseparable since they were seven years old. They had the kind of love that both their parents and friends always thought would not last, but yet it did. These two were clearly soulmates. My reason for knocking a star off the reading is simply because I feel things didn’t quite stay consistent throughout the book. For example, we learn later in the book that Elizabeth fled the country because she thinks her husband drowned, and the killers will seek her out in killer if she stays. Ok, that’s believable. However, at some point, she learns that her husband did not die, and eight years later, she decides to come back and send him cryptic messages to meet. Of course she has to do this believing the killers are monitoring her. my issue with this, is that when it appears it didn’t work and her husband, who has been grieving for the last eight years and never fully got over her, his life is now in utter ruins, as he’s facing a framed murder charge. He’s got killers chasing him and she’s willing to just leave to save herself? She even says those words. Self preservation. Those two people are not the same. A person that love someone that deeply does not act that way. Lastly, the very last page we learned that David is essentially the one that started the whole vendetta against the family by killing a man who rightly deserved to be killed. However, throughout the story, David can’t quite understand why these people are doing the things they are doing. Again, that doesn’t make sense. Maybe he wouldn’t know everything. But if you murdered a billionaire son. It shouldn’t take too much effort to think they may be after the person that did it. I realize the author probably wrote this way to add to the mystery, but it just doesn’t add up to me. All in all, it is still a good fast paced, and exciting read ... show more

  • A QUICK, ATTTENTION GRABBING NOVEL IF ALL YOU WANT IS A QUICK READ TO PASS THE TIME!!!
Format: Kindle
I finished reading TELL NO ONE by Harlan Coben this past Friday, August 16th, and I am glad that a coincidental confluence of circumstances led to my finally sampling this popular and best selling author's works. I had been occasionally reading the Comments that were posted on Goodreads' discussion topic (the 100 best thrillers of all time? you be the judge) THE MYSTERY, CRIME, AND THRILLER GROUP. One day, I took the time to briefly peruse the list in question, and I noted that Coben's TELL NO ONE was included. Naturally I have seen Harlan Coben's name and read reviews by readers that are convinced that his thrillers are simply unsurpassed by any other author writing today. I have also seen customers allege that he deploys a formulaic plot and if you've read one, you've read them all. The fact is, I'd been toying with the idea of reading a book of his in order to form my own opinion. Then, again coincidentally, I stumbled across a sale on Amazon for one of his books. Yeah, you guessed it, TELL NO ONE. First of all, the author was able to get my attention from the first page, and I knew immediately that this was a book I was definitely going to finish reading. This standalone novel from Coben was published a decade ago if I recall (2009), thus I really can't see the point in regurgitating a brief synopsis of the story line, or similarly revealing any "spoilers" that may inadvertently be read and spoil some future reader's enjoyment. It was a quick, and generally interesting read which is why I am unable to go below a rating of Three Stars. By the time I read the last line of this book, I felt a blend of disappointment, puzzlement, and irritation. I knew that I had to think about it in order to put my finger on what it was that really put me off the novel and the author. I picked up on a liberal bias or slant at the outset, that is our two protagonists David and Elizabeth were the quintessential young liberals in both attitudes and actions. We then add a liberal sister who manages a charity for the underprivileged and downtrodden young people in the streets, and a gay lover in the fashion industry (also our main hero's best friend). The father-in-law and his brother (both in law enforcement and comfortable with firearms) were not depicted with the charitable, loving nobility of the characters populating this book. The billionaire with a blind eye to the faults of his boy, and his two primary henchman, lacked depth, and WU (the lethal villain) was right out of Ian Fleming's foes pitted against 007. It finally came to me what I was so disgruntled about. The author wrote a novel chock full of stereotypes! The whole cast of characters were good hearted wholesome liberal do-gooders and the bad guys were "typecast" as well! One self-reflection made me want to gag---it was when David pondered whether his beloved Elizabeth would maintain her idealistic, giving nature, seeing everyone as basically good---up until the very end of her life at the hands of a sexual sadist. I wasn't able to relate to David, or to any of the protagonists. They did not come across as genuine or real people to me. In my 20's I held many lofty notions about many serious issues in society, and coupled with an alternative life style it is safe to say that I can understand a liberal point of view. However, all of us are inherently human and three dimensional, not cardboard characters with scripted ideals. This book satisfied my curiosity about Cohen's writing and I am glad I read it. ... show more
