Description

“A compelling and original suspense thriller.”—Los Angeles Times “Harlan Coben is the modern master of the hook-and-twist.”—Dan Brown For Dr. David Beck, the loss was shattering. And every day for the past eight years, he has relived the horror of what happened. The gleaming lake. The pale moonlight. The piercing screams. The night his wife was taken. The last night he saw her alive. Everyone tells him it’s time to move on, to forget the past once and for all. But for David Beck, there can be no closure. A message has appeared on his computer, a phrase only he and his dead wife know. Suddenly Beck is taunted with the impossible—that somewhere, somehow, his wife is alive . . . and he’s been warned to tell no one. Read more

  • Good but...
I'm feeling a bit torn about some of the characters, but overall, this book has captured my attention and delivered a compelling story.

  • You Should Tell Everyone to Read Tell No One
Harlan Cohen is always good. This is one of his best. I cannot imagine a reader who would not compulsively read it to the end as fast as possible. A great convoluted plot. Characters you care about gradually the more intensely increasing tension and momentum. Any hint of the plot would.need spoilers which I hate in a review. So simply -- read it! Now! ... show more

  • Be careful with Harlan Coben...
If you are a fan of his prior series' featuring the sports hero Myron Bolitar, you will probably like this book, but be a little wistful at some of the missing elements as he changes genre. Bolitar is the hero of 7 prior novels that fall in the "Comic Mystery Thriller" category populated by Lawrence Sanders, Lawrence Block and Janet Evanovich. Characterizations in the Bolitar books are so over the top that they make you giggle, even as you are consumed in a pace so fast that you finish the book without taking time to get a snack. Conversation is witty and cynical and you wonder if the author was a stand up comedian in a prior life. When looking for a beach book or just a great read to get over the rest of the stress, Coben is a hero to most. So, "Tell No One" is a big departure, and only Shauna, Tyrese & Eric Wu, supporting characters in the story, will remind you that this is Coben. If you loved "Tell No One", be prepared that you may find Coben's earlier books too light for your taste, if you believe a thriller is a thriller and any comic touches are just wasted words. Only 2 things hold "Tell No One" back from a five star rating. Coben's hero, his weaving of a tale of romance and familial loyalty, his pace and his ability to leave you guessing as his plot twists and turns are terrific! His cops are believable and admirable and his hero spins in every direction when discovering how easily he has been duped about the murder of his wife and how he has incredibly passed 8 years since her murder in absolute ignorance. The 2 things: The final unveiling of the murderer was one twist too many...we could have left the tale much more enthusiastically without it. And, the dust jacket is horrific and looks as though a middle school child covered his English text in something his mom brought home. Small things. Tell No One might be the most exciting book you read this year! ... show more

  • A QUICK, ATTTENTION GRABBING NOVEL IF ALL YOU WANT IS A QUICK READ TO PASS THE TIME!!!
I finished reading TELL NO ONE by Harlan Coben this past Friday, August 16th, and I am glad that a coincidental confluence of circumstances led to my finally sampling this popular and best selling author's works. I had been occasionally reading the Comments that were posted on Goodreads' discussion topic (the 100 best thrillers of all time? you be the judge) THE MYSTERY, CRIME, AND THRILLER GROUP. One day, I took the time to briefly peruse the list in question, and I noted that Coben's TELL NO ONE was included. Naturally I have seen Harlan Coben's name and read reviews by readers that are convinced that his thrillers are simply unsurpassed by any other author writing today. I have also seen customers allege that he deploys a formulaic plot and if you've read one, you've read them all. The fact is, I'd been toying with the idea of reading a book of his in order to form my own opinion. Then, again coincidentally, I stumbled across a sale on Amazon for one of his books. Yeah, you guessed it, TELL NO ONE. First of all, the author was able to get my attention from the first page, and I knew immediately that this was a book I was definitely going to finish reading. This standalone novel from Coben was published a decade ago if I recall (2009), thus I really can't see the point in regurgitating a brief synopsis of the story line, or similarly revealing any "spoilers" that may inadvertently be read and spoil some future reader's enjoyment. It was a quick, and generally interesting read which is why I am unable to go below a rating of Three Stars. By the time I read the last line of this book, I felt a blend of disappointment, puzzlement, and irritation. I knew that I had to think about it in order to put my finger on what it was that really put me off the novel and the author. I picked up on a liberal bias or slant at the outset, that is our two protagonists David and Elizabeth were the quintessential young liberals in both attitudes and actions. We then add a liberal sister who manages a charity for the underprivileged and downtrodden young people in the streets, and a gay lover in the fashion industry (also our main hero's best friend). The father-in-law and his brother (both in law enforcement and comfortable with firearms) were not depicted with the charitable, loving nobility of the characters populating this book. The billionaire with a blind eye to the faults of his boy, and his two primary henchman, lacked depth, and WU (the lethal villain) was right out of Ian Fleming's foes pitted against 007. It finally came to me what I was so disgruntled about. The author wrote a novel chock full of stereotypes! The whole cast of characters were good hearted wholesome liberal do-gooders and the bad guys were "typecast" as well! One self-reflection made me want to gag---it was when David pondered whether his beloved Elizabeth would maintain her idealistic, giving nature, seeing everyone as basically good---up until the very end of her life at the hands of a sexual sadist. I wasn't able to relate to David, or to any of the protagonists. They did not come across as genuine or real people to me. In my 20's I held many lofty notions about many serious issues in society, and coupled with an alternative life style it is safe to say that I can understand a liberal point of view. However, all of us are inherently human and three dimensional, not cardboard characters with scripted ideals. This book satisfied my curiosity about Cohen's writing and I am glad I read it. ... show more
