Story4.5 out of 5 stars 190
Over twenty years ago, the heiress Patricia Lockwood was abducted during a robbery of her family's estate, then locked inside an isolated cabin for months. Patricia escaped, but so did her captors - and the items stolen from her family were never recovered. Until now. On the Upper West Side, a recluse is found murdered in his penthouse apartment, alongside two objects of note: a stolen Vermeer painting and a leather suitcase bearing the initials WHL3. For the first time in years, the authorities have a lead - with the suitcase and painting both pointing them toward one man.

Publisher's Summary
A widowed veteran gets the shock of her life in this impossible-to-put-down thriller from the bestselling author and creator of the hit Netflix drama The Stranger.
In the course of eight consecutive #1 New York Times bestsellers, millions of readers have discovered Harlan Coben’s page-turning thrillers, filled with his trademark edge-of-your-seat suspense and gut-wrenching emotion. In Fool Me Once, Coben once again outdoes himself....
Former special ops pilot Maya, home from the war, sees an unthinkable image captured by her nanny cam while she is at work: her two-year-old daughter playing with Maya’s husband, Joe - who was brutally murdered two weeks earlier. The provocative question at the heart of the mystery: Can you believe everything you see with your own eyes, even when you desperately want to? To find the answer, Maya must finally come to terms with deep secrets and deceit in her own past before she can face the unbelievable truth about her husband - and herself.
What the critics say
"Narrator January LaVoy's well-paced performance enhances the tension of this stand-alone thriller.... LaVoy's dynamic narration and distinct characterizations make this multilayered story a winning audiobook." (AudioFile)
“Coben is simply one of the all-time greats - pick up any one of his thrillers and you’ll find a riveting, twisty, surprising story with a big, beating heart at its core.” (Gillian Flynn, best-selling author of Gone Girl)
“[A] stellar standalone.... Coben is like a skilled magician saving the best, most stunning trick for the very end.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

Plot-Driven
I have the longer version of this book (almost twice the length) in my library. I'm quite curious to see how effective the abridgement is in this offering - but I'm guessing that it's excellent.
Many abridged books feel "skeletonized" - stripped down to bare bones - often spoiling pacing and (in a Mystery) editing out Red Herrings and surprise plot twists. That is apparently not the case in this presentation of 'Fool Me Once'.
Harlan Coben's signature hyper-realistic "guy-at-the-end-of-the-bar" dialogue is intact, descriptions are vivid, and the presumably pared-down plot is still twisty-turny, full of surprises, and keep-you-guessing captivating.
My only real issue with this recording is that the characters feel moderately 2-dimensional. The protagonist - ex-Assault Chopper pilot 'Maya' - is, in fact, quite unlikable (on purpose?).
I wonder if the removed segments of the book ruined Coben's efforts at characterization. The focus on plot is entirely justifiable, but this book might be *much* better than what is presented.
Fortuitously, Brilliance Audio retained January Levoy to read both this version and the unabridged iteration. Her diction, timbre, cadence, and voice-acting are beyond reproach. Furthermore, despite reading a little too slowly (listen at 1.15X), Levoy's emotive (alternately angry & empathetic) tone matches the dialogue and drives renewed interest in the story.
I wonder if this recording is an edited version of her performance of the unabridged book or if she is reading this version de novo (the flow is smooth enough that I strongly suspect the latter).
Regardless, this audiobook exhibits exemplary production standards.
The length of this 8.5/10 star book (5:50) makes it ideal for a long drive or a boring night shift - and it delivers great entertainment. I am grateful to Audible for including it as a 'Plus' selection.. because it actually merits a Credit.
I haven't listened to the unabridged version yet, so I can't recommend one over the other - but this version is good enough to make length a reasonable deciding factor.

Another good one
Mr Coben is quickly becoming one of my favourites on this app. Always a good little story for a drive.
