Summary
Along with his Myron Bolitar series, Coben's stand-alone
novels have cemented his reputation as a solid writer and a
relentless plotter of high-octane entertainment. "I'm pretty
sure it all worked out in the end, with no loose ends, but I
wouldn't want to take a test," the
Washington Post says of the "rococo plot" in
Caught. The author's "family" novels address some
important social issues and will resonate with anyone who has
children, and the Internet angle is timely. With his latest
effort--though, admittedly, a generally slower-paced effort
with weaker characterization than in other novels--Coben
delivers solid entertainment. Again. "The thrill-a-minute action zooms on sharp, slippery twists
and turns in a white-knuckle race from start to finish."
"With
Caught, Harlan Coben knocked another one out of the
park!"
"_Caught_ is dark-hearted, quintessential Coben, and his
character Wendy Tynes is completely driven to make things
right. This novel is psychologically twisted, fascinating, and
guaranteed to make you both look over your shoulder and sign up
with the good guys."
"Quite simply, Harlan Coben is one of my favorite authors.
His books have it all: nail-biting suspense, roller-coaster
plots, relevant social issues, and pitch-perfect characters.
Most important to me, his stories have a lot of heart. He
writes about men-and women-you know, people who could be your
neighbors, your friends, your family."
"A Tilt-A-Whirl of a story....Buckle up and prepare for
whiplash."
