There is no doubt as to why this book is number one right
now. The characters draw you into the story and keep you
pulled into the story until the end. I started reading this
book on a flight from Dallas to DC and finished it when we
touched down. Yes I did take a few hour delay, but there
would have been no putting it down. There is mystery,
intrigue, murder, betrayal, friendship and love.
In
MISSING YOU, Harlan Coben dives deep into the relationships
between friends and family and the people around us. I
highly recommend this book it has twists and turns all the
way throughout the book up to the last page. As you are
reading this you think you know who did it and at the end
when all is revealed you simply think "aha of course".
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Harlan Coben, a
heart-pounding thriller about the ties we have to our
past...and the lies that bind us together.
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-fiance 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 fiance, 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.
