There are 20 victim photographs linked to Lorraine on the evidence wall, 18 carnival night victims -one for every year starting with Stewart Green’s murder in 2004 – plus Carlton Flynn and Zain Kaleed, for whose murder she framed Jamal Alade. Every character, including the supporting ones, speaks the same way, dripping sarcasm and corny one-liners.

Summary and reviews of Stay Close by Harlan Coben - BookBrowse

Kayleigh finally tells her mom what happened the night she met Carlton at Vipers during Carnival 2021. So if I'm able to work with this cast of characters in front of me that you see, who wouldn't move [on] the story?Stay Close is an upcoming crime drama that comes from the mind of award-winning author Harlan Coben. Some of these books I liked a lot; others I thought did not work as well, usually because the author insisted on piling one implausible plot twist on top of another until the reader could no longer suspend disbelief and the entire structure collapsed in ruins. In retaliation against the dangerous men in the world, Lorraine has killed one seemingly abusive man a year during Carnival and hidden their bodies in the bomb shelter outside of Vipers. Green - is still obsessed with the case; Cassie, an entertainer at a club named La Crème who was involved with Green, gave up her old life, changed her name to Megan, and became a suburban wife and mother; and Ray Levine, Cassie's boyfriend at the time, became an alcoholic with a shameful (in his eyes) job as a fake papparazzi. a b "NEW HARLAN COBEN DRAMA CONFIRMED FOR NETFLIX STARRING CUSH JUMBO, JAMES NESBITT AND RICHARD ARMITAGE".

Stay Close by Harlan Coben | Goodreads

While he is undeniably a deft plotter, even when dealing with various strings and many characters to tie together, the characters are what really fall flat in my opinion. As I might have mentioned in previous reviews (only about a million times), it is hard to care about a character when there are so many.

while another agreed with this, stating: "Why is there some random Barbie and Ken killers dancing like they are on strictly? Michael Broome is a detective still haunted by a cold case from seventeen years ago, when local husband and father, Stewart Green, disappeared without any trace. But when a man with potential ties to another missing-person case from — you guessed it —17 years ago disappears, her shiny new life begins to unravel. Carlton Flynn, a young man in a distinctive necklace, goes missing from about the same place as another man, Stewart Green, did 17 years ago to the day. Kayleigh knows Carlton will be able to escape the car once he’s sober; Bea, meanwhile, has no idea a body was in the trunk in the first place.
