This is another excellent book from Harlan Coben. This is the second book I’ve read by this author, and I would say he’s becoming one of my favorites. He has such a great style, it just reels you in.
The story is about Will Klein, who grows up looking up to his older brother as a hero figure. About the time Will is entering adulthood, his former high school sweetheart is brutally murdered, and the prime suspect is Will’s older brother, Ken Klein. Ken vanishes when this happens. Although the authorities consider Ken the murderer, some of his blood was found at the murder scene and the Klein family believes he’s dead.
Fast forward eleven years…….Will finds proof that his brother is in fact alive. He follows every lead he can to find out the truth. In the process he learns many good and not-so-good things about his brother and himself as he peels away the layers of hidden truth.
This was one of those books that was a pretty fast read, yet it was still pretty deep. I may just hold onto this one and read it again in the future.

I am very much looking forward to reading Harlan’s new book The Woods. Have you read it yet?

I was going to ask you if you have ever read anything by Phillip Margolin? I discovered him a few months ago and I’ve read 3 or 4 of his books already. Gone, But Not Forgotten and Sleeping Beauty are excellent. Lost Lake was just alright.

Hey, I haven’t read The Woods yet, I guess I’m waiting for it to come out in paperback. Look forward to it though.
I haven’t read anything by Phillip Margolin. I just may check him out!
