Another great story by Harlan Coben. I listened to the abridged version and was very satisfied with the narrator and the story. The story was narrated by Carrington MacDuffie and har voice was a good match for the action presented in CAUGHT. Carrington is now on my list of narrators that I want to hear more from.

This was in my opinion Harlan Coben at his best. The story starts off kind of all over but it quickly all comes together. There is a new twist around every corner. I thought a few times that I had it figured out only to be led in another direction.

A great read for anyone who likes an edge of your seat ride.

I enjoyed the story but the writing was a little more then I could handle. There were actually to much information that I became overwhelmed trying to remember all the details.

A very fascinating riveting story that drew me in immediately. Several plots are occurring simultaneously in this book that appear to be separate and individual but begin to connect together. A missing teenager who vanishes in the middle of the night without a trace and leaves the entire community baffled. A social workers arrest as a sexual predator of children opens up more questions than answers. I was prepared to dislike Wendy Tynes initially. She struck me as a Nancy Grace type of journalist looking for explosive headlines and bright lights and assuming her target was guilty without due process. The story weaves in and around the characters of this story to make the reader unsure of their own convictions. Several times while reading this book I was positive that Dan Mercer was a pedophile and had killed the missing girl, but a few pages later, I began to doubt and then start the process over again. This book really made me think about the criminal justice system in this country, when it works and works well, and also when it doesnt.

This book is also about rash decisions and how they can alter lives forever. Decisions made by Haley, Dan, Wendy and others lead to actions by others that cause a tsunami effect of destruction in their wake. This book showed me that nothing is ever as it seems on the surface but all too often, people go with that perception and make judgments based on it.

Harlan Coben is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors to turn to when I want a story that packs a solid punch but still manages to surprise the reader. This story brought out a range of emotions in me while reading. Everything from anger and shock to fear and sorrow combined with some tears and laughter will give the reader a thoroughly entertaining, though exhausting experience.

If you enjoy James Patterson, I highly recommend you try Harlan Coben. He is definitely a master of his craft. Find a comfortable chair, kick off your shoes and settle in for a thrilling adventure when you open this book. You wont want to put it down.

Couldn't put it down (like all Harlan Coben books I've read). I figured out one major piece but had to wait till the end to confirm it, but there were lots of other twists in the plot that had me wondering if I was wrong.

Fast-paced, interesting read about a case of a suspected child predator that turns out to be about much more.
