Summary: Want to read a brilliant fast-paced novel? Tell No One.
Review: Dr. David Beck survived that horrible night eight years ago. The same night his wife was abducted and he was left for dead. The same night he looked upon the face of his beautiful wife for the last time. Everyone tells him to begin his life again in order to erase the heartbreaking memories of the past but for Dr.Beck this is an impossible task.
A message appears on his computer with a phrase that only his dead wife would know. Is Elizabeth alive? Beck as been warned to tell no one. He flees from those he trusts and dives deeper and deeper into a pool filtered with a deadly secret.
The author carries his reader along with the finesse of a circus clown dangling candy before a crowd of children. I could not turn the pages quickly enough while adhered to my seat. This story was well written and flowed like a river to the very last sentence. As soon as I read the final page, I closed the book, sighed with a smile, and then took my patient puppies out for a walk. I look forward with much anticipation to reading another acclaimed novel by Harlan Coben.

Summary: TELL EVERYONE
Review: Harlan Coben, the author known for his series about the sports agent Myron Bolitar, has crafted a fine thriller in his book Tell No One. In this stand alone title, Coben takes his readers on the ride of a lifetime. From the first page till the last, my heart raced and I found myself staying up late at night to finish this book.David Beck, once married to Elizabeth, has finally rebuilt his life since the kidnapping, disappearance and assumed death of his beloved wife several years before. Now, a respected doctor with a practice in New York City, David finds himself experiencing some very strange events which lead him to wonder if Elizabeth could still be alive. First, an e mail arrives with information known only to the two of them, then two bodies are found on property owned by the Beck family which may have been involved in the kidnapping, and finally an image appears on a web camsite which looks suprisingly just like Elizabeth. With fury and determination, Beck begins to investiage Elizabeth's kidnapping and what has happened in the intervening years. Along the way Becks efforts are thwarted by a billionaire who may or may not be involved, the father of one of his patients who uses his street smarts to help out and a cast of other characters who are quite memorable. The pace is fast, the book becomes wet from holding it too hard with perspiring hands and you most liely will might find yourself holding your breath as the book moves along to a startling conclusion. But readers need to be warned to slow down a bit for the last 50 pages as the plot and action moves quickly fronm page to page with complicated and somewhat convoluted twists and turns. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and instead of Telling No One I tell everyone to read this book. This may have been my first Harlan Coben book but it certainly won't be the only book of his I plan on reading.

Summary: Super duper, Yippeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
Review: Hold on folks you're in for a ride. I loved it. I don't care what anybody says. It was riveting. I got sunburned on the beach because I could not tear myself away from TELL NO ONE. Just the type of juicy mystery and deep dark secrets I love. Wonderful, just wonderful. Anybody, especially critics, who pan this book, are just jealous that they cannot write thrillers this well.

Summary: DON'T START THIS BOOK IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO DO
Review: I finished this, my first Harlan Coben book, in less than 48 hours. Once I started it, that's all I wanted to do, solve the mystery. I read 10-12 books a month, mainly mysteries. Trust me when I tell you that most are drivel, a shameful waste of the trees to print them. When you stumble across a writer this talented you seek out all his other works.

Summary: I COULDN'T WAIT TO GET INTO MY CAR
Review: I just finished this book (okay, it was actually the audio book) and I seriously couldn't wait for my long commute to begin. The ending is great. I had to rewind just to make sure I was hearing right. If you like thrillers, you will love this book.

Summary: An excellent thriller!
Review: I laughed when I read another reviewer's comment that he had missed work because of this book. That was "before" I read it myself and now I know exactly how he felt! This book was extremely difficult to put down. Fortunately I started it in the middle of a long holiday weekend so I didn't have to miss work but I did find myself hiding out from my family in order to keep reading. A very fast paced story that begins with the abduction and murder of Dr. David Beck's wife while they are on an anniversary vacation. The clock then moves forward to eight years later and suddenly Dr. Beck is receiving emails that can only lead him to believe that his wife is still alive. A thrilling and very well written story. But wait until the weekend ( or your day off) to start it!

Summary: Interesting plot twists
Review: The first time I started reading this book, I put it aside due to its violence. If you're used to graphic violence in books, it won't bother you at all, but if most of your experience with thrillers comes from Agatha Christie instead of Stephen King, it might bother you.
After a week or so, though, I came back to the book, because I absolutely had to see how it ended. The plot twists were, in hindsight, not very original, but while you're following them, they do indeed keep you on your toes. The suspense finally got to me -- I had to figure out who was sending David these e-mails.
The deletion of the two hit-men would make this book a much more pleasant read, and detract from the plot and suspense very little.

Summary: A gripping mystery
Review: This book was returned to me by mistake (I don't own a copy), but after reading a couple of pages, I was hooked, and I read the book before returning it to the real owner. David Beck married his childhood sweetheart, after a storybook romance. But on their wedding anniversary, she is abducted and he is assaulted. A short time later, her body is found, dumped on the side of the road and mutilated, an apparent victim of the serial killer "KillRoy." Eight years later, Beck is a doctor working at a low-income clinic. He treats the children of prostitutes and drug-dealers, and cares for his grandfather, who suffers from Alzheimer's. But Beck has never forgotten Elizabeth. When he gets a mysterious e-mail on their anniversary, "D.B. + E.P. /////////////////////" he is floored. Only Elizabeth would know the meaning of such a message. Could she be alive? Suddenly Beck finds himself wrapped up in a gut-twisting, heart-pounding race to find his wife before the noose tightens around his own neck. Because for some reason, after eight years of believing KillRoy murdered Elizabeth Beck, the FBI is questioning her husband. Not only that, but when he goes to his father-in-law for answers, he gets only more questions. And now an old friend has been murdered, and someone is framing Beck. My two main complaints about this book: 1. The point-of-view switching is a little confusing; however, after the first switch, I began to expect them, and it wasn't too difficult to follow. 2. This is my real complaint--there wasn't enough build-up to the twist at the end. Yes, there was a little (very little) foreshadowing. I would have preferred a little more. The reader gets a pretty intimate look inside Beck's mind, and I felt blindsided by the revelations at the end. I would still recommend this to anyone who isn't squeamish (innocent characters do die, painfully) and who loves the mystery/suspense genre.
