Synopsis from Goodreads: It's a profile, like all the others on the online dating site. But as NYPD Detective Kat Donovan focuses on the accompanying picture, she feels her whole world explode, as emotions she’s ignored for decades come crashing down on her. Staring back at her is her ex-fiancé Jeff, the man who shattered her heart—and who she hasn’t seen in 18 years.
Kat feels a spark, wondering if this might be the moment
when past tragedies recede and a new world opens up to her. But when she reaches out to the man in the
profile, her reawakened hope quickly darkens into suspicion and then terror as
an unspeakable conspiracy comes to light, in which monsters prey upon the most
vulnerable.
As the body count mounts and Kat's hope for a second chance
with Jeff grows more and more elusive, she is consumed by an investigation that
challenges her feelings about everyone she ever loved—her former fiancé, her
mother, and even her father, whose cruel murder so long ago has never been
fully explained. With lives on the line, including her own, Kat must venture
deeper into the darkness than she ever has before, and discover if she has the
strength to survive what she finds there.
My Review:
Harlan Coben has written another non-stop thriller that will
leave you on the edge of your seat, and make you never want to stop reading! This book grabbed me immediately and never
let go till the very end. I really like the character of Kat and would read
more books with her in them.
What would you do if you found your ex (the one who got
away) on a dating site (well you find his picture but the name isn’t the same) and
when you message him he at first doesn’t seem to remember you. As if that isn’t
bad enough some kid (Brandon) shows up at your door saying that same man went
away with his mother and he thinks she is in trouble. Throw in a mystery about
who really killed Kat’s father and away we go on this rollercoaster ride of a
story. Be ready for twists and turns and red herrings, which will keep you
guessing all the way to the end.
I love Harlan Coben’s books he always writes a good solid
story with a mystery that keeps you on your toes, there was one part of the
story I had figured out but my theory was not what Coben ended up writing so I
still wasn’t 100% right and I love that in a mystery. I liked the fact that
there weren’t any cardboard cutout characters in this book each character had
their own identity and back story, which made me care about them even the ones
that didn’t last long.
If you can’t already tell I loved this book, so the only
thing I can say to you is, what are you waiting for get to reading!
5 Stars
