Harlan Cobens thrillers are like intricately patterned knitting [] He has created a cracker of a hero in the aptly named Wilde [] Hopefully Wilde will return Coben certainly leaves clues that he will. * THE TIMES *
One of the worlds leading thriller writers [] That is down to the dark and endlessly twisting turns that his plots take and his latest book is no exception. Another gripping and twisty thriller. * SUN *
Dramatic and tightly plotted the search for the truth is a masterpiece * WOMAN'S OWN *
Exceptional story-telling, well drawn and vivid characterisation and a fast-paced and riveting plotline carry the reader along open mouthed as layer upon layer is peeled back to reveal the truth. I needed this diversion from grim reality and now feel much better for it. Highly recommended. * LIVE AND DEADLY (blog) *
Youll struggle to put it down. Coben has a knack for drawing you in and holding your interest, and this book certainly does that * ENTERTAINMENT FOCUS *
