Summary: An author worth following
Review: This is the third Coben novel I've read. All were enjoyable, but each is dragged down by Coben's penchant for complex plots that often veer into the unbelievable. He also has an unfortunate tendency to carry some characters from one novel to another. This is particularly grueling because Coben's characters aren't well developed to begin with. All that said and done, Coben is a thoroughly enjoyable read. His plots, as stretched as they become, have a glow of craftsmanship to them. They definitely do propel you through the story. The characters, flat as they often are, still have enough heft to keep your interest. In short, Coben and in this case "Tell No One" are just plain fun reads. They will keep your interest. I intend to pursue all of Coben's novels, not only because they are fun reading, but because this writer has a future and could indeed turn out to be one of the best suspense novelists of all time. It's kind of fun to watch his growth. Jerry

Summary: My First Coben Read-Couldn't Put it Down!
Review: This was my first Coben read. I couldn't put the thing down. The twists and turns continue to the very last page of the book. I am very impressed! This new fan will continue to read Coben's books.

Summary: One hell of a thriller!
Review: This was one of the most satisfying books I've read in long time. Dr. David Beck lost his wife to a serial killer eight years ago. They had been in love since they were twelve. While life goes on, the loss is overwhelming. That is, until he gets an email with information that only they shared. David suddenly begins to think that she may be alive. The rest is a frenticly-paced thriller with the most diabolical villains and unlikely friends. I read this extraordinary thriller in less than 24 hours. My only criticism is that the last twist is really superfluous.

Summary: My advice: read it twice!
Review: When you find the love of your life, it's hard to let go, even after the loved one dies. David Beck, the protagonist of "Tell No One", has continued to carry a torch for his long lost wife, Elizabeth, who died eight years before. When he receives a mysterious e-mail that couldn't have come from anyone but her, Beck goes on what can only be described as a wild goose chase--only, there are people who don't want the truth to be discovered, and they'll kill to keep it buried. This book is a refreshing change from the Anne Rices, John LeCarres and James Micheners of the contemporary literary world: the narration--when in first person--is simple, conversational and easy to understand, without being "dumbed down" or compromising the plot. The characters themselves are also realistic and believable--I love Beck's sister and her partner, as well as the thug with a heart of gold, Tyrese. The ending is a crisp slap in the face. "Tell No One" demands a second reading--reading it again allows you to see all the clues that clearly point to the outcome, even if you don't see them the first time around. "Tell No One" isn't without a snag, however. The jumping from first to third person narration becomes annoying, and often breaks up the flow of the plot. Of course, this could be a tactic to further confound the reader and keep him/her off the trail; I found myself re-reading some chapters just so I could remember what was going on the last time Beck spoke. Other than that, it's a book that's difficult to put down. Die hard fans of a good mystery will not be disappointed, and the plot twists will leave you scratching your head happily. I hope there's a sequel.
