Summary: A thrilling page turner!
Review: This novel is missing only one thing...a warning label on the cover reading: "WARNING! Only open this book if you have the time to read it cover to cover." This book is so exciting that you will not be able to put it down. It pulls you in and doesn't let you go.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Surprises At Every Turn
Review: I recently joined a neighborhood book club and this is the second book we have read. I am almost disappointed that it read it so fast... now I have to wait weeks before we meet to discuss. It is a fast read and full of surprises. I enjoyed it very much. I think it would make a great movie! The book is action packed and I was very surprised at many of the plot twists and I could never guess what was happening next. I recommend it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not bad
Review: When you lose someone you love, time eventually closes the wound a bit and you hurt a little less. Not so for Dr. David Beck, who's wife was abducted and killed 8 years ago. He's still wrapped up in Elizabeth's death, as if it just happened yesterday. Beck receives a strange email containing references to things only he and his deceased wife would know. Someone wants him to think Elizabeth is still alive. Beck "tells no one," as instructed, but searches for the truth and uncovers many unexpected truths along the way.

Good mystery that answers all questions asked during the read. Something about the writing style bothered me - I just can't place it. Mostly in descriptions, I found myself missing what was just read and having to constantly go back. I thought I was just tired, but it happened all through the book. I'll try another Coben book and see what's up.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great, clean suspense novel
Review: I don't need to replay to the plot for you. One hundred reviewers already did that. But I will say that this book was an exciting page-turner. Some contemporary novels feel the need to slip into sex scenes and profanity to add a touch of realism, but Coben is a good enough writer to need neither. This is just a good old-fashioned mystery which kept me guessing until the very last page. I was hooked by page two and hated to put it down. If you are looking for a great, clean, fast-paced thriller, this is the book for you.

Rating: 4 stars
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.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: My heart jumped into my throat
Review: A few weeks ago, my wife told me she wanted to buy a book for casual reading by the swimming pool. I had read a short review of Harlan Coben's latest novel ("Gone for Good") and on the basis of that review urged her to buy it. Because she was already in the middle of another book I decided to read Coben's in the meantime. I finished it in two sunny afternoons, and I was delighted by the plotting. Needless to say, I rushed out to buy "Tell No One."

The bloom is off the rose! It turns out that "Gone for Good" is a sort of variation on the theme of "Tell No One." Both involve a sad protagonist who has lost a loved-one to death (or not?), both involve family conflict, both have plot twists and surprises and chapter endings that practically beg you to read on to the next chapter.

Regrettably, Coben's writing style annoyed me. I became painfully aware of the number of times that the protagonist's heart performed one acrobatic trick or another to illustrate his surprise or fear or tension. Then I became aware of other trite references to physiological changes (dry mouth, churning stomach, etc.) My awareness of these stylistic "tics" detracted from my sheer enjoyment of the story. Coben would do better just to spin the yarn and let the reader decide how the characters would react.

Still and all, if you want a quick and entertaining story for light reading, "Tell No One" is worth your time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The perfect weekend read.
Review: This book is one you will read in a day or so considering its so addictive. David Beck has been attempting to put his life back together since the murder of his wife eight years before, a murder that took place on a trip to the lake for the couple's anniversary. Years later, Dr. Beck begins to receive emails from a person who knows things only his wife could. Is she dead or is she alive? That's as much as I can tell you.

"Tell No One" is a great mystery and it has many layers. Frightening bad guys, kind of good bad guys such as Tyrese and likeable characters such as Dr. Beck and Shauna. Some of it is in first person and some in third person and its done in a way that isn't at all distracting. Once you open this up, you won't be able to figure out what comes next. I read this in a day and a half and couldn't put it down. If you want good suspense with good writing, pick up this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is one of the best books I've ever read!
Review: TELL NO ONE kept me busy. This isn't my usual book choice, but a friend gave it to me, so I decided to give it a go. I was hooked from the beginning.

David Beck is the ultimate sweetheart-his loyal, he's honest (mostly!), and he cares deeply for the ones he loves. I kept with him throughout his awful seasrch for his "dead" wife...all the while getting thrown by awesome twists and turns.. There are surprises until the very last page! Couldn't put it down! I can't wait to try some of his other books!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Tell No One
Review: WOW!! I can't wait to try his others! This book keeps you reading and I could barely put it down. It did get alittle confusing with too many characters to keep track of. Still a must read and this is from a girl who loves romance books!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Ultimate Beach Read
Review: The story zips along without sacrificng character development. Enough twists and turns to keep you guessing. Villians to hate without having to drown you in detailed viloence. A satisfying and sensible end with one more little twist for the road. What more could you ask for when flying NY to LA.
