Caught by Harlen Coben

Another classic Coben story.  Twist follows twist; another piece of the puzzle follows yet another piece.  Yet somehow, Coben always seems to surprise me at the end.  I have read a lot of his books now, and usually once you get the hang of an author you can work out the final story, but with Harlen Coben I am always hooked right through to the last page.

His writing style is so easy to read, it almost feels like a friend is telling you their story.  He also seems to be able to narrate the story equally well from a woman’s viewpoint or a man’s.  Quite a talent!

Briefly then, Caught tells the story of a group of people whose lives fall apart through actions of one person.  The time span of the actual story is quite short, but much of the build up happened many years ago, and we are taken meticulously through each phase.

If you want a gripping, interesting thriller, then try this one.  If you haven’t read Hareln Coben before, it’s an excellent starter novel.
