#1 New York Times bestselling master of suspense Harlan Coben delivers his most shocking thriller yet, proving that a well-placed lie can help build a wonderful life - and a secret has the same explosive power to destroy it.

The Stranger appears out of nowhere, perhaps in a bar or a parking lot or at the grocery store. His identity is unknown. His motives are unclear. His information is undeniable. Then he whispers a few words in your ear and disappears, leaving you picking up the pieces of your shattered world.

Adam Price has a lot to lose: a comfortable marriage to a beautiful woman, two wonderful sons, and all the trappings of the American dream: a big house, a good job, a seemingly perfect life.

Then he runs into the Stranger. When he learns a devastating secret about his wife, Corinne, he confronts her, and the mirage of perfection disappears as if it never existed at all. Soon Adam finds himself tangled in something far darker than even Corinne's deception and realizes that if he doesn't make exactly the right moves, the conspiracy he's stumbled into will not only ruin lives - it will end them.

This story had a lot of twists and turns. I really liked the main character and I loved the narrator.

Loved this book!

Narration was really nice but the story was sometimes confusiong with too many characters coming from nowhere into the story. Overall it was ok but not that great as a Freida Mcfadden could be for example.

Just ok

This was amazing. Didn’t expect the ending. Love Harlan‘s novels. Can’t wait to read the next one.

Loved it. Did not know how this was going to end.

I finished the book just to ensure when I'm writing this review, it's not biased nor rushed.
Besides the casual misogyny all over the book, from the characters to the narrator, non of the characters make sense. There's no character development, no well thought reason behind the "plot twists".
It's a shame that all the cybersecurity, internet related info, and so on are ridiculously wrong or at best, misunderstood.

Lazy and shallow plot, misogynistic book from start to the end

Worst Coben novel ever. Dry, drawn out drivel. No suspense , just detailed morality. Reject this title.

Slow dry drivel
