Many thanks to Penguin Group - Dutton, via Netgalley, for allowing me to read this in exchange for an unbiased review. Kat sends him a message, referencing their favorite song, which just happens to be "Missing You," by John Waite, and then sits on pins and needles, waiting for a response. When it comes, Jeff appears not to remember her, which crushes Kat. She sends him another message, identifying herself, and Jeff replies telling her that the past is past, and she should just leave him alone. Supercharged by a father's fierce drive to rescue his kidnapped daughter, Coben's third stand-alone thriller proves far more gripping than his second, Tell No Continue reading » Though mystery/thrillers often have story lines that are a little outlandish I think parts of this book strain credulity too much.

He has sold over 70 million printed copies worldwide, with his books being published in 43 languages around the globe. I've preached about the value I put on audiobooks before but there is a downside to this format. If the reader is good it can add value to the telling of the story but if they are bad it can ruin it completely. Now, I'm not saying Kerry Shale is a bad reader but here he uses some terrible, condescending voices to portray a number of the male characters. It's just so off-putting I can't continue.Reporter Wendy Tynes is on a mission to identify and bring down sexual predators through highly televised sting operations. Wendy and her team, with the help of the local police, have publicly shamed dozens of men through her news program “Caught in the Act”. Home after the war, former special ops pilot, Maya, sees an unsettling image of her two-year-old daughter as captured by her nanny cam while she is at work. She sees her daughter playing with Joe, her husband, but there’s only one problem; Joe was brutally murdered two weeks earlier. When Valerie is murdered in cold blood and her body dumped right outside the stadium at the U.S. Open, Myron Bolitar, a renowned sports agent, steps in to investigate the killing; one that will unearth a gut-wrenching connection between two players and a six-year-old murder at an affluent mainline club.

I've yet to be disappointed by a Harlan Coben novel. Though I was prepared for a satisfying reading experience I wasn't expecting it to be quite this good. This was very enjoyable as I wait patiently for that next Myron Bolitar series installment (hint, hint). All of which makes a pretty good story. But then the second strand, which ties things together, is a farm in rural Pennsylvania, where Titus and his companions are raising a curious crop, one that makes a fortune.

SPOILER ALERT!!!** - I am the hugest fan of Harlen Coben. When I was approved for this title through Netgalley, I knew that I was in for a treat. Sure that suggests that I'm biased, but on the contrary. When Coben let's me down I let it be known!!! He can afford one bad review or two. Loyal fans like myself won't be shied away from a 2-star rating. Enough about me and my little disclaimer... So when he stumbles upon Todd’s obituary, he can’t help but attend the funeral. While hoping to catch a glimpse of Todd’s wife, he realizes that the mourning widow—who has been married to the deceased for more than a decade—isn’t Natalie!

Missing You is the latest thriller by Harlen Coben. He really cranks these things out. I feel as I just read one a year or two ago. Anyway, I'm cool with that. Coben seems to the master at presenting readers with the idea that we never quite know who stole our hearts. Whether it be an old flame, a wife of 20 years, or even a family member, he suggests that someone is always hiding something. This novel is no different. Only this time the connections are more broad and cautionary to all you Match.com people out there. Myron Bolitar, former basketball star (Boston Celtics) turned sports and entertainment agent and Continue reading » I am so amazed at this book. I need to think it through. Don't even know where to begin, what to include and where to end. Something doesn't seem quite right, and so Kat begins to investigate and stumbles onto an Internet dating scam where innocent victims are going of on dates with people they met online and are never heard from again. And--horror of horrors!--Kat's old boyfriend seems to be right in the middle of the scam. Two and a half stars. Clearly not Coben's best. In fact--the book was not a cohesive whole. I've read pretty much everything Coben's written, and liked most of it, but this outing was an incoherent pastiche.
