Tim Wallace is struggling to recover from the death of his wife. His struggle is made all the more difficult because one of the detectives who worked his case is convinced that Tim actually murdered his wife, and is hell bent on bringing him to justice. Fortunately, Tim has two friends and business partners to help him through his mourning. When they invite him out to one of their old haunts for New Years Eve, Tim reluctantly agrees to go. While there, Tim is approached by a stranger, who has a secret to tell only to Tim. That secret reopens the investigation into the death of his wife, and puts Tim in the middle of a conspiracy he does not understand.

Don't Tell a Soul will appeal to fans of Harlan Coben's standalone thrillers, though it is not as violent and gritty. The elements are all there though, making this a competent and enjoyable (if not highly original) thriller.
