Reviews Write A Review. Title Close. We weren't the happiest with this selection. May not do Harlan Coben again as a book we can both listen to as we take our next car trip. My rating is a bit misleading because I hated this book. If minus zero stars were available that would have been my first choice. This book feels like it was written under a contractural obligation or diruess because everything but the kitchen sink was thrown into the plot, with the hopes we will all get dizzy, thinking it is his normal twists and turns.
I saw right through it including who the killer was and how it would end. This was an all out assault on my mystery book "sixth senses" and I didn't like it at all. As a matter of fact I hated it. Don't waste time and energy on this one. And, hate to say it but I will be skeptical next time but guess there is a first time for everything. I've read a lot of Harlens books but this one wasn't like the others, it was kind of boring and repetitive. Add to Cart failed.

I've missed him so much! The new Harlan Coben?! Mike Very good mystery I've listened to quite a few of Harlan Coben's books over the years and while most of this book is classic Coben, it's a bit of a departure for him as well. Wayne Bad breakup of high school sweethearts Thomas No one ever determined 5 Brilliant Shining Stars. No one ever determined the exact cause of death.
Vanished, almost into thin air as if she never existed. It tore him apart, losing all three of them at once. He has never been the same. Nap is astounded and he feel that this incident has to be linked to what happened to his brother.
In order to uncover the truth, Nap enlists help from his mentor Augie and his best friend Ellie, both of whom have been with him from the get go. The ride it takes them all on is dangerous, twisted and full of surprises. It contains interesting, intriguing characters who you can't help but care about deeply, its brilliantly written and has an extremely well-developed plot. The mystery is complex, compelling and completely exhilarating.
While I guessed the ending fairly early on, it did not spoil the book for me in any way whatever. I immediately loved Nap and Ellie's characters and this story - in fact, I adored it. Will be published on Amazon on 9. View all 81 comments. Harlan Coben has achieved another mic drop with his latest book, Don't Let Go. Don't you hate it when "real life" gets in the way of your reading? If work hadn't gotten in the way, and we hadn't been without power due to a storm for more than 24 hours, I would have devoured this book in one sitting.
But even spread out over a few days, this book knocked me out, and once again reminded me after the fantastic Home last year— see my original review what a fantastic writer Coben is. Napoleon "Nap" D. Napoleon "Nap" Dumas is a police detective in his suburban New Jersey hometown.
Now in his mids, living in his childhood home, he's never quite gotten over the death of his twin brother Leo during their senior year in high school. Leo and his girlfriend Diana were found dead on the local railroad tracks, believed to be either poor judgment due to drugs and alcohol, or some kind of double suicide. Nap never could understand how Leo could either make such a colossal mistake or how he could be so desperate, and this lack of closure has haunted him for years.
And if the shock of Leo and Diana's death wasn't enough for Nap to handle, his girlfriend Maura, also a friend of Leo and Diana's, disappeared that night. No matter how hard Nap tried to find her, he never could, and never understood why she left. Fifteen years later, Nap gets an alert that Maura's fingerprints have turned up in a rental car involved in the murder of a policeman, who, it turned out, was in the same high school class as Nap, Leo, and Maura. Suddenly Nap may be able to find answers to the two questions that have plagued him for years, and he is determined to do everything he can to uncover the truth, no matter how many people warn him simply to let it go.
But instead of finding answers, Nap keeps finding more questions, questions he might not want to know the answer to, questions which involve Leo and Maura and Diana and other high school classmates. And for some reason, right in the middle of all of the questions is a mystery surrounding an abandoned military base in their hometown, which some believed was far more nefarious than the story presented by the government.
What happened that fateful night which changed the course of so many lives? Was it government conspiracy, youthful folly gone wrong, or something even more sinister? Will finding the answers set Nap free to live his life, finally able to put the past behind him, or should he take the advice of those who tell him—and not all do it gently—to let it go?
And will Nap even survive his hunt for the truth? Much like Home , not only did Don't Let Go pack some punches, but it also contained a lot of raw emotional power as well. Nap, Maura, his best friend Ellie, and Diana's father and Nap's mentor Augie were fascinating characters, each with secrets of their own. Every time I thought I knew where the book was going Coben took the plot in a slightly different direction, and I was truly hooked from start to finish.
How many of us have wondered about whether we could have changed the course of a tragedy if we had only acted differently, or acted at all? That knowledge doesn't always help, and it creates a burden we must bear until we're ready to move on.
That burden is so deeply felt in Don't Let Go , and Coben's mastery with the plot's twists and turns as well as its emotional intricacies makes this an excellent book. Thanks for making this available! View all 26 comments. But the real kicker is that Maura was with him when he was gunned down, but managed to escape. Nap begins to believe Leo and Diana did not die in a senseless drug and alcohol fueled accident, or a suicide pact.
Is there a connection? After all these years, why has Maura suddenly reappeared and why are members of the conspiracy club being murdered? Read it. But, if you need a push, here you go- I think you will really like Nap. He is unconventional, has a tendency of taking the law into his own hands, has no qualms about breaking the rules from time to time, but is still a straight up guy, who feels things very deeply, and is loyal to a fault.
This story also has a cold case element to it, as well, which happens to be one of my favorite crime tropes. The story is very absorbing, the characters are unique and surprising, and while I say this after nearly every Coben novel- the conclusion of this book is a real stunner. I sat staring into space for about five minutes after I finished the last chapter.
Seriously, it was so shocking, it had a numbing effect. View all 36 comments. Harlan Coben, the king of literary suspense, is back at it again! Coben is my go to author for when I need a sure thing - he just ripped me out of a month long book slump with this here little tale, and I am oh so grateful.
He constantly keeps you on your toes and wondering where the ride will take you Harlan Coben, the king of literary suspense, is back at it again! He constantly keeps you on your toes and wondering where the ride will take you.
I very much enjoyed the forward, where Coben explains his inspiration for this book - an actual location which existed in his hometown. The characters are flawed and real, the dialogue is witty, and the story has suspense, intrigue and a dash of romance. View all 35 comments.

I did have some guesses throughout this mystery, and some of them were close, but in true Coben fashion you can never be quite sure what happened until the final period of the final page. It seems like he keeps that just to the Bolitar series. Everytime I have read a book o You want more Coben — you get more Coben!
Everytime I have read a book outside of that series, it has been more serious. View all 22 comments. Don't Let Go is an outstanding and solid new standalone thriller from the thriller master himself in Brenda and Kaceey's opinion lol Harlan Coben that we all were very excited to have received from Edelweiss.
We decided to read it as a special birthday read for Brenda's 50th birthday and thought it extremely fitting as this has been Brenda's all time favourite author for some time now. Brenda and Kaceey who are big time fans of Harlan Coben were very excited to read this along with Norma and Lindsay who have only read one or two of his books so far.
Brenda only recently introduced Norma to a Harlan Coben novel not too long ago. They are now fans and there will be more Harlan Coben books in the future for these Traveling Sisters. Don't Let Go is a fast-paced story with big secrets and lies that reach back to 15 years ago. Harlan Coben does a great job revealing layers of deceit along with clues and throwing in a bit of red herrings along the way.
He didn't have all of us guessing to the end, although Norma quickly became suspicious early on, she was still left surprised with a few twists as there were plenty of twists and secrets to reveal. Harlan Coben takes a hometown legend and builds quite an interesting and creative story here that had all of us quickly turning those pages with Norma reading and finishing it mostly in one day.
We left the very exciting, suspenseful and intense ending to read together so we could message our thoughts and suspicions to each other. Which makes it all that more of an interesting and enjoyable reading experience for us. We highly recommend adding this one to the top of your list and Don't Let Go till you read it!

I adore Harlan Coben novels and would have to say that he is probably one of my top five all time favourite authors.
His books are fast paced, easy to follow, addictive and very entertaining and his latest "Don't Let Go" is everything I expected and more. A particular quirk of the author is to incorporate dry humour often into taut and tense scenes but the way he does it is so professional - it really works and very entertaining.
Although this story is a standalone thriller I was over the moon to I adore Harlan Coben novels and would have to say that he is probably one of my top five all time favourite authors. The plot is very clever and sends you down many routes before finally revealing the unexpected and quite shocking denouement. I believe the premise for the story is based on true events that occurred in the author's home town which made the plot all the more interesting and compelling for me.
I thoroughly enjoyed "Don't Let Go", I highly recommend it to thriller readers young and old and I look forward with baited breath for Harlan's next book. My thanks to friend and fellow reader Rachel Hall for her copy of the book. View all 21 comments.

No birds coo. No leaves rustle. I can hear just the noise of my really own breathing. The past does not simply die away. Whatever occurred right here still haunts these properties. You can truly feel that sometimes— when you see ancient damages or old estates or when you are alone in the woods comparable to this.
The mirrors serene, disappear, nevertheless they never ever go absolutely quiet. When I see one for a great rate I select it up. Not to state that I have actually constantly enjoyed.
Without returning to my other assessments.
