Maureen Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Just One Look by Harlan Coben ISBN 978-0-7528-6381-8 I think this is my first Harlan Coben, and boy, am I glad I discovered him! A brakeless thriller which I could not put down, and a mystery which is only unearthed in the very last pages. Painter Grace Lawson picked up a packet of holiday prints, and with her pictures she discovers what seems to be an old photo of her husband with 4 other people. When she confronts her husband, he drives off somewhere and disappears. Meanwhile a brutal killer is on the lose, motive unknown and a hitman in jail confesses to an old murder - which had been put down as a terrible accident. People from Grace's past have also appeared again. Everything seems to have some sort of connection, and Grace is struggling to find the link and find her husband. I could not put this book down before I found out who, why, when and where. I had to give up my beauty sleep last night, and drag myself to work, half asleep, this morning!

pontalba Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I love Coben's books. I think I've read all of his stand alone, except for the very last one and enjoyed them all. The first one I read was Don't Look Now...a super page turner. And...good news, there is a film of it that is dynamite. It's in French, subtitled. HC must have a good sense of humor, he does a cameo in the film, a la Hitchcock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maureen Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 Thanks for the tip Maureen. My trips to the library are much more fun these days. I know, mine are too. However my TBR is the biggest it has ever been, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
