Stay Close

Wow.

Somehow I kept walking past this book at the library.  How did that happen?  I love Harlan Coben!  He writes the Myron Bolitar series as well as stand alone novels.  I haven't read a bad one yet.

In Stay Close we meet a cast of characters who have a past.  OK, so we all "have a past" but these people are connected to a terrible incident seventeen years ago.  One of the characters is living the American Dream--little house with the white picket fence, 2 children and a fake name.  Another has moved on, keeping the same name and same profession.  But no contact with others from "the past."  One of the detectives in this novel has a bit of a past with the one character as well.

As usual, Coben takes the reader for a doozy of a ride. . .where people turn out to be something much different from what you expected.  And leaves you wondering just how much you really know about the people in your own life.  What secrets are they hiding?

Get it.  Do not walk past Stay Close.  Pick it up.  You won't regret this one.
