Description

The bestselling author and creator of the hit Netflix drama The Stranger delivers a twisted #1 New York Times bestseller about a man who—with the best of intentions—opens the wrong door...

Reporter Wendy Tynes is making a name for herself, bringing down sexual offenders on nationally televised sting operations. But when social worker Dan Mercer walks into her trap, Wendy gets thrown into a story more complicated than she could ever imagine.

Dan is tied to the disappearance of a seventeen-year-old New Jersey girl, and the shocking consequences will have Wendy doubting her instincts about the motives of the people around her, while confronting the true nature of guilt, grief, and her own capacity for forgiveness...

    It seems odd for a mystery-thriller, but this is what comes to mind to kick off this review - “A fun read!” Properly crafted: people’s motivations fit with their actions, which lends credibility to the entire plot. I liked the casual writing style - just the right amount of sarcasm and snark. Good character development, though we don’t go super deep into anyone here, that’s not a criticism at all - overall it was an enjoyable page-turner. Normally I would’ve given this four stars because I’m tight with fives and this isn’t likely to go down as a great literary work, but currently it only has an even 4-star rating, and deserves more than that. I will definitely check out more from this author!

    It’s so complicated! Maybe this is what happened, maybe that’s the person who did it, maybe it’s a different person who did it, maybe they did it for this reason, no they did it for that reason, no they didn’t really do it, someone else did. But did they? I wish I had taken notes from the beginning!

    This was a great read it has more twists and turns than anything I have read in a long time, maybe for a future story the author can put Win and Wendy together for a tale. That’s a fine paring and the back story is already done. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks Harlan

    This was a great read, thrilling, lots of twists and turns with shocking revelations! Enjoyed this immensely! It’s also fun to come upon old characters from other books, even if they’re just of small to medium importance!
  • The plot sickens

    Way too over the top. Not what I like in a mystery. Very , very contrived.
