By: cathrine98 I love Harlan Coben, and this book easily raises the bar. His style never fails to get old, and never fails to deliver on suspense. He keeps you guessing and hooked with his skilled writing and masterful storytelling. I definately suggest you give it a try!
Thrilling...Read it in one day! I had to keep scrolling down to find the reviewers who like me LOVED this book-and if you take the time you will find them. I thought this was one of the best books I've read in a long time. The greatest compliment I can give this book is that I had no idea what was really going on...and you don't have the whole story until the very last page. I am a HUGE fan of thrillers/police/detective stories and my major complaint is that 99.9% of the time, even with the BIG names, I know exactly what is going to happen long before I even reach the middle of the book. I find it annoying and even insulting that a 40 yr. old housewife can figure out these great mysteries while the police veteran, great detective or even Army Ranger or Navy Seal cannot seem to put the pieces together. If you are interested in a fantastic story that will keep you guessing, give this a try! It's my first Coben and I can't wait to try more!Good beach book I enjoyed this thriller because I found it a bit different from the usual serial killer story or police procedural. The plot centers on an event that happened years in the past, which not surprisingly provokes consequences in the lives of the main characters in the present. And the ending is a real surprise, unlike many novels of this sort.
I'm often able to figure out the twists and turns of a novel's plot, but this ending really blind-sided me, and for that reason alone I'm giving it 4 stars. If you're looking for a diverting paperback to read on vacation this summer, Just One Look will fill the bill nicely.MIND NUMBING THRILL RIDE I picked up one day and finished the next (and I'm not a fast reader). Mr. Coben gives his usual twists, turns, subplots and false leads. He does a reasonably good job of fleshing out the characters (for a thriller/ mystery). He keeps you guessing until the end. No deep thoughts just a MIND NUMBING THRILL RIDE. Perfect for summer.
