That afternoon Alex goes to visit Margot's old girlfriend Charlotte, a photographer, who he hasn't communicated with since his wife's death. Charlotte admonishes Alex for not staying in touch but Alex tells her that he just wasn't up to it. Alex then asks Charlotte about the automobile accident and the photos. Charlotte explains that there was no accident, that one day Margot showed up bruised and asked her to claim that she was in an accident with her, should Alex ever ask. She assured Alex that Margot had never lied to him regarding anything else. I admit I fell for these books because of their high rating and I must admit I was dearly disappointed. Book seven in Coben's wonderfully rich series (after 1999's The Final Detail), which features sports agent Myron Bolitar, former basketball player and totally believable human being, is all about Continue reading » We never forget our first love. Mine ended up being murdered." Newcomers and fans alike will know they're deep in Coben country with the author's ninth book, in which a counselor Continue reading »

For his books, Harlan Coben received several awards over the years and was nominated for several ones as well.

Great characters. Not too complex, in fact they are basically caricatures, but really fun to see how they all take part in the story. Edgar-winner Coben's 10th Myron Bolitar novel (after Long Lost) is a perfect 10: providing readers with new information about the past of the former athlete turned agent and owner of MB Reps; a Continue reading »

Old secrets come to light and, of course, the truth is so much more than anyone could have imagined! But I will read "Gone for Good" now and rate both together. Oh, and finished Tell No One late at night, reading till 02:30 am on April 2nd 2013. After losing Alex in the chase, Captain Levkowitch stops by his mother's place to drop off some groceries. There he speaks with his partner and admits to being the one who called Alex's attorney, Elysabeth Feldman. In his conversation Levkowitch goes through a list of reasons why he doesn't think Alex would have murdered Charlotte including hiding the murder weapon in his apartment behind a desk, his stopping at the coroner's office on the way to work, and even going to work at all. While his partner cautions him about the consequence of doing something that would re-open the murder case of the serial killer Serton, Levkowitch counters that he just wants to get to the truth. With Coben, it's very hard to review a book without mentioning spoilers. If I wrote what I want to write, my review would look like a heavily redacted top secret file. So, I will just hit on some key points: I caught my reflection in a building window and couldn't help but notice that I looked utterly ridiculous in my borrowed garb. Gangsta Prep. Yo, word"I used to love reading books to movies and since Tell no one is unusual in that it's an American author and setting, but French movie, I thought it'd be great to read, and I was not wrong. The movie followed the book pretty closely and I was pleased that my favorite part in the movie was even more expanded in the book (you see the main male character is a pediatrician working for the poor and one of his clients is a drug dealer/crime related guy who dearly respects the doctor for helping out his hemophilac son). Makes me want to watch the movie again (for the 5th time!) nominated for the Anthony Award, the Macavity Award, the Edgar Award and the Barry Award for Tell No One
