Tell No One ~ Harlan Coben
Synopsis
Every year Elizabeth and David Beck return to Lake Charmaine, a place that has been a part of their lives ever since they were children. But on their thirteenth visit, Elizabeth is kidnapped and murdered, while David is left for dead.
For the next eight years, Dr. David Beck relives the horror of what happened every day of his life. Although Elizabeth has been buried, and her killer waits on death row, for David, it still feels as if more than one life ended on that night.
Then an image of Elizabeth appears on his computer screen, brutally ripping open old wounds. Is it just a practical joke? Or evidence that somehow Elizabeth is still alive? ............
Thoughts
I`d only read a couple of Harlan Coben books before and they were both Myron Bolitar novels, they were pretty good stories but, Tell No One, a stand alone thriller was fantastic!
From the first page this story was an exciting page turner, that frequently left me on the edge of my seat, or waiting with baited breath to see what was coming next.
The story flows, but is full of twists and turns that keep you guessing right to the end. The characters are well written and I felt as though I was there with them, especially David Beck, whose life becomes a real rollercoaster.
I have read some good books in this genre recently but I think this has been the best and the most exciting of them. I don`t know if this was a typical Coben stand alone novel, but I`m really looking forward to reading more from him so I can find out.
If you enjoy a good thriller I`d definately recommend this book.
10/10
