An ordinary snapshot causes a mother’s world to unravel in an instant. After picking up her two young children from school, Grace Lawson looks through a newly developed set of photographs.

But there is one face she recognizes—that of her husband, from before she knew him. When her husband sees the photo that night, he leaves their home and drives off without explanation. She doesn’t know where he’s going, or why he’s leaving. Or if he’s ever coming back. Nor does she realize how dangerous the search for him will be. Because there are others interested in both her husband’s past and that photo, including Eric Wu: a fierce, silent killer who will not be stopped from finding his quarry, no matter who or what stands in his way.Her world turned upside down, filled with doubts about her herself and marriage, Grace must confront the dark corners of her own tragic past she struggles to learn the truth, find her husband, and save her family.

I really enjoyed this book, felt the suspense and action made it a page turner. However, I HATED the reason for all the secrecy, seriously lame, I wanted a big conspiracy and got, they were drunk, he stole my song and we didn't want to lose the trust fund. Blah, unsatisfying. "The stages of grief: Supposedly the first is denial. That was wrong. The first is just the opposite: Total acceptance. You hear the bad news and you understand exactly what is being said to you. You understand that your3.5 starsHowever unlikely the premise or convoluted the plot, Harlan Coben guarantees more "bang for your buck" than your average thriller author. Although my experience has so far been limited to his more recent material, he has never failed to catch - and hold - my interest, leaving me turning the pages at a rate of knots! Maybe because so many of his novels have focused on the domestic suspense market I find their similarities to the humdrum lives of suburban couples perceptive and enjoy
This was my second Harlan Coben and listened to this one because Brandie recommended it. Well, it was such a quick but good listen I am so happy I picked it up. The mystery was good. There were so many parts of it that I never could fully put it together. I was on the edge of my seat and man that ending!!! Totally got me which I love. Definitely more Haran Coben in my future.This review was originally posted on Rebel Mommy Book Blog
This one is fantastic. It starts out with multiple threads that don't really seem connected. Slowly the relationships between them start to come together until, at the very end, they're woven into a really tight fabric.The characters are really well done. Those in the forefront are pretty ordinary, save for the killer who is still quite believable. The motivation is obscured. We get just enough to follow it, but that's it. As the end approaches, things start to make sense until the whole thing
l look at the big pile of Coban books on my shelf. do i have really something to say about them? do i remmber any? well. yes one of his first novels which called in the woods or similar. it was brilliant. all his other good read but so so. means averge.
My first Harlan Coben book: a nice, quick read. Overall, 3.5. Some of it seemed a bit outlandish, but thats what made the book.
