On the strength of this one I will be looking out for more. I have read all of Coben's Myron Bolitar books and love them all, but I have so far only tried a couple of his stand alones. This was a captivating and entertaining read.more There were moments of humor in the book that I find enjoyable from this author. I really liked this fast-paced suspense story. I especially got a kick out of attorney Flair Hickory, the well-dressed/flamboyant attorney. (Her father ran the camp and he is now in a home.) The secondary characters were a lively group. I also liked Lucy, who never really seemed to get over that long ago camp incident. I liked Paul, who was raising a young daughter (Paul's wife died of cancer).
I don't want to give any more of the plot away since it's more fun to read the book to find out what happens. But if this man (who was just murdered) was alive for the past twenty years, maybe his sister could still be alive too.Įventually Paul gets together with his ex-girlfriend (Lucy) from the camp (whom he hasn't seen in twenty years) after she contacts him because strange things are occurring in her life that have to do with that long-ago camp incident in which she was also involved. When Paul goes to the morgue and sees a tattoo on the dead man's arm that he recognizes, Paul is convinced the murdered man is the other man who went missing (like his sister). Twenty years later Paul (now a County Prosecutor) is being asked questions by detectives about a man who was recently murdered who had Paul's address on him and clippings about the camp murders.

Twenty years later Paul (now a County Prosecutor) is being asked questions by detectives about a man who was recently murdered who had Twenty years ago eighteen-year-old Paul Copeland was working as a counselor at a summer camp in which four teenagers walked into the woods one night.

An absorbing tale once again.Ĭan Harlan Coben do anything wrong?. The suspense is constant, but not happy with that, he manages to turn up the action a notch further as the story twists and turns every which way! The characters are really believable too, and the dialogue suits each of those characters perfectly. He really knows his stuff, able to draw readers in with ease, and he hasn't failed with The Woods.

The characters are really believable too, and the dialogue I find that if I pick up a book by Harlan Coben, I then resent anything that requires my attention, dragging me away from it, such is his skill at grabbing hold of you and playing with your mind.
