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".
