Description

When his child is taken, a father will stop at nothing to get her back in this explosive, white-knuckle thriller from the bestselling author and creator of the hit Netflix drama The Stranger.

When the first bullet hit my chest, I thought of my daughter...

Shot twice by an unseen assailant, Dr. Marc Seidman lies in a hospital bed. His wife has been killed. His six-month-old daughter has vanished. But just when his world seems forever shattered, the ransom note arrives: We are watching. If you contact the authorities, you will never see your daughter again. There will be no second chance. With no one to trust, and mired in a deepening quicksand of deception and deadly secrets, Marc clings to one unwavering vow: bring home his daughter, at any cost.

  • Lot of filler copy

    I feel like the actual story, which is good, is about 80 pages shorter than the book. Coben will describe a product or some piece of technology a character is using for pages before he gets back on track with the plot. By the second or third instance I learned you can skip over them, all of them, and it won’t affect the story whatsoever. Only the second book I’ve read by the author, but if this is his writing template, it may be my last.

    A good story, keeps you guessing. But the formatting is a mess. There are no spaces between most of the scenes. So you’re reading one scene and then the next thing you know you’re somewhere else. In other places they used the *** between the scenes, which is the way it should always be.

    Suspenseful film for sure. However, the synopsis given here is misleading: the protagonist is not the father of the kidnapped, adorable baby, but the mother.

    This was a fun read but the terrible editing made it a confusing read.

  • Great Story, confusing character switches

    The story itself was thrilling and kept me wanting to read as often as I could. It bothered me that the context too seamlessly would change from one set of characters to another, causing confusion and the need to re-read so I could understand. You’d finish a paragraph with one character and suddenly the next paragraph started with dialect of another character in a completely different location in the story. Other than that....great read!

    Harlan Coban is a favorite of mine and this book does not disappoint. Fast moving, a lot of twists and turns, an everyday kind of guy just doing what he has to do to survive a tragedy and get some answers, and then an ending I never saw coming. Great read and I highly recommend.
