Interesting. I kinda liked this, I think, but perhaps it wasn't the best choice for my first Harlan Coben(?)Coben has long been on a mental list of mine - along with Koontz, Child, Grisham, James Patterson and Connelly - of well-loved mystery/thriller authors I have never read. After he made an appearance as a character in King's latest novel, The Outsider, I decided it was finally time.And... um, I can see why people like him. In Fool Me Once he pulls out a perfect "oh, of course!" reveal. The'Fool Me Once' was different from the two previous Coben novels I read recently, in that the main heroine was a woman, Maya Stern, a former army captain.Maya has just buried her husband, Joe. Few months before, her sister, Claire, had been tortured and murdered.Maya is in a strange state, suffering from PTSD as well. This novel was a bit too convoluted. Sure, it keeps you reading. I personally just try to enjoy the ride, as I know that the guilty party is always someone unexpected, true for this
*4.5 STARS*Fool Me Once? Harlan Coben has fooled me numerous times during this particular story!Maya Stern, retired helicopter pilot, returns home after a tragic ending to her service in Iraq. Things get even worse when her husband Joe is shot dead, with Maya witnessing his murder. Events then take a really weird turn when she sees Joe on her nanny cam. Is Joe really dead? He must be - Maya saw it happen - attended his funeral. So just what is going on?Join Maya on this twisty, multi-layered
I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Fooled me.... Weird.....ending..... ......but for what it was - I got my money's worth.I listened to the audiobook: daily deal special. The positive: Time zoomed by.... I didn't drift off .....held my attention -easily.I don't think I've ever read a Harlan Coben book before now---maybe I have years ago?Or was it one of the others -Koontz? (I get these guys mixed up). Airport books... I call them. Wow... there are 25,409 rating! 2,663 reviews on Goodreads - 3.91 overall rating! I'll go with 3.3
This is one of those books that has such an intriguing twist at the end that you want to go back and read it again with the information you now have! It was very well managed and I was clueless!I must admit that occasionally in the first half of the book the thought did cross my mind that this was not as good as the Myron Bolitar books. Maya did a lot of mental self evaluation and once or twice I am sure I muttered out loud something like "Oh do get on with it!" I am prone to do that with audio
I don't normally update my reviews but it's been brought to my attention that my review has a spoiler in it's very first sentence. I do normally put a warning about possible minor spoilers but as I didn't think I was saying more than the book blurb did I didn't bother on this review. But apparently I've given away the plot in my very first sentence? So I will put the warning in now.******Possibly some minor spoilers!!!!!!******I have read a few books by Harlan Coben and really enjoyed them. Fool
