2007-08-22 Coben's Books are Always Top Class

Harlan Coben continues to prove that he is one of the best thriller writers around at the moment. A page turner is a much used phrase but in this case it is really appropriate. The author's books are always so well structured and his character's well rounded. He is obviously comfortable with his style and ability and this transmits itself to the reader making the reading of his books sheer pleasure from start to finish. Coben has now got a string of best selling crime novels behind him and all I can say is that I hope he continues to write for many years to come. The author lives in New Jersey with his wife and four children.

Harlan Coben's books often border on the edge of implausibility and this is another of them but it does not detract from the entertainment value for the reader. This story is about a basketball star who fakes his own death while honeymooning in the tropics. His bereaved bride, not convinced that his death is an accident starts snooping around, which proves extremely dangerous when somebody starts bumping off people who may be able to give her some answers . . .
