No Second Chance Book

Everyone seems to read Harlan Coben books but me, so I thought I would give one a try........ and it lived up to expectations.

This is a complicated story of a surgeon who is shot, his wife murdered, and his infant child missing. The surgeon, who barely escapes death is determined to find his daughter who he believes is still alive. And so begins a complex and sometimes a bit confusing tale of his search. His wealthy father-in-law gets a ransom demand for $1 million and the chase is on.

The story covers two years of false clues, disappointment, a father's quest, and no sign of the child. Many diverse characters are introduced and the reader is left with the trying to identify which of them, if any, is involved in this crime.

I thought the ending was a bit far-fetched but not enough to ruin my interest in the story. I will probably read more of Coben's books since it certainly keeps the reader guessing and that's the mark of a good thriller.
