My first Coben. I normally only read female authors, but this storyline caught my interest. Wow. Really enjoyed the writing style and kept me intrigued all the way through. Will be reading more Coben for sure. Highly recommend if you like Karen Robards, Lisa Gardner, etc. Yes it was a bit far fetched, and some overly gory details, but it was a realistic story with depth of characters so it gets a thumbs up from me.
