This is one of those books that you don't want to set aside until it's finished! An excellent thriller from Coben. I've read a few of his other books and they're all page-turners and this one was no exception. The protagonist of the story, Maya, a former special-ops pilot, has just buried her husband who was brutally murdered in front of her during an outing at the park leaving her to fend for herself with her 2-year old daughter. But then, one of her friends gives her a nanny-cam to keep an eye on her nanny and daughter while she is at work. When reviewing the footage from the cam, she suddenly sees her supposedly dead husband with her daughter! Is she losing her mind or is her husband not dead after all? Maya seeks to find out the answers which takes her down a dark path including looking at who had killed her sister while she was serving overseas. Like I said, this one kept me turning the pages and I was very surprised and didn't see the ending coming! Overall, I would recommend this one highly.
