This book belongs in the teen section of the library; definitely NOT in the mystery/thriller section.
I cannot even begin to tell you how much I disliked this book.
Due to Coben's recommendations as a great writer I ordered several of his books but I literally had to force myself to keep reading this just to see if it got any better. Consequently it took me over two weeks to finish. I kept hoping that something would happen that could keep my attention for more than 20 minutes at a time but that did not happen.
It was one of the most boring books I have ever read. No action with the exception for a one page scene that seemed like an after thought and was so contrived that it was like a page from another book that was put in by mistake.
Even the so called red herrings were boring; consisting of things such as the same conversations over and over with old friends,acquaintances,ex-father in laws,bosses and that list goes on and on...visits back and forth was the same people etc.etc. but no action and definitely no thrills or real mysteries.
This being my first book by Coben makes me think I will probably list the others that I have by him without bothering to read them.
