This is one of Harlan Coben's early novels. You can see the roots of some of his later themes developing but the story is overly convoluted and many of the situations and character behaviors improbable, impractical, or confusing. Coben has always been one of my favorite authors and it is interesting to see where he started but he certainly greatly improved with his later works. Scott Brick's excessively dramatic narration for this book further emphasizes any shortcomings rather than helping to overcome them. It's not up to Coben's later excellence but it's still an interesting read and overall, enjoyable.
