Missing You: The shocking and addictive thriller, now a major Netflix TV series : Coben, Harlan: desertcart.co.uk: Books Review: Great book - Bought as a gift for my wife as she loved watching the tv version of the books She really enjoyed reading this Review: A great detective plot with the required twists and turns to ... - I don't really know how to review this story. One one hand there was nothing wrong with it. A great detective plot with the required twists and turns to keep the reader interested and guessing to the end. The characters were interesting without a doubt and being based in New York the setting was as you would expect it to be exciting and full of life. Really all in all this book has everything you want from a novel even the writing was just how I like a book to be. The problem is; and if I'm to be honest I still don't know why it didn't really do it for me. Now I know most of you right will think this review as being a waste of time and you're probably right but strange enough that is what I feel about this book. It's very good but something's missing, I just can't put my finger on it, hence only four stars and not five. However saying that, every other story about this author I've enjoyed and will I buy anymore of his books? Absolutely yes!

"Never misses a twist or a surprise"
Harlan Coben books deliver tight plots that are full of thrills and fun, in fast and light reading style that is deceptively easy to follow till he sends you tumbling into the next turn of events, the characters are perfect for the story and fit well with in this tale, this is entertainment and is entertaining without being melodramatic or unnecessarily violent, corny lines are exposed by other characters and soon you are just enjoying the yarn. Kat is a detective whose father was murdered in the job, she likes drinking a bit too much, and is looking for a guy, her friend gives her and account in a dating service as a joke, she has a look and to her surprise finds the picture of an ex fiancée in the pages, she sends a message and nothing is what it was again.

I struggle to see how it would make a tv series.
Whilst I like Harlan Coban and his writing, this was at times overly sentimental and downright bloodthirsty, not to my taste at times.

Missing You
A very good read with twists and turns. Likeable main characters, evil and ones. Hard to put down especially towards the end of the book.

This book kept me awake it was such a thriller from start to finish.
Fabulous exciting novel. Very violent for me but had me riveted. What an author! Many twists and in true Cohen style the plot all comes together. I had to read it all quickly to find out the ending .....bravo.

この人は、本当に上手いですね。 まず、冒頭から物語の中に引っ張り込まれます。 はじめは、いくつかの別々の(に見える)ストーリーが入れ替わりで展開され、多少戸惑うのですが、それが徐々に繋がってゆき、それとともに物語が盛り上がってゆきます。 登場人物にも感情移入させられます(僕はオーディオブックで聴いたのですが、ナレーターがまた上手い)。 後半から終盤に向けての怒涛の展開で、手に汗握ります。 そして最後に一捻りあります。それも、かなりでかいヤツ。 この前に読んだ(聴いた)"Just One Look"と同じ感想ですが、本当に面白かった。 全作読破したくなりました。

Mein erster Harlan Coben Roman, bin begeistert, super spannend, nur zu empfehlen.

La capacità di Coben è quella di tenerti legato dalla prima all'ultima pagina. Una volta che inizi il libro non riesci più a posarlo a : sei obbligato a finirlo! Grandioso
