Summary: wow
Review: What they say about this book is true. I was intrigued through the duration of the whole day I read it. I found that I was not able to put it down without going back to it and telling myself one more chapter til I was at the end. This book will keep you guessing and question pretty much everything you think. This is one of the best books I've read. I would recommend it to almost anyone who likes to read and to some who don't.

Summary: Back from the Dead, Because Love Found a Way
Review: David and Elizabeth Beck are married, are very much in love and they have been returning to Lake Charmaine every year since they'd been childhood sweethearts. But sadly, on their thirteenth visit, Elizabeth is kidnapped and murdered and David is left for dead. For the next eight years he tries to come to terms with the horror of what happened on that very bad night, while Elizabeth's killer sits on death row. Then an image of her shows up on his computer screen, and the years are ripped away. Can it be? Is Elizabeth alive somehow? Or is somebody playing a cruel joke on him? Then Beck's life turns into a non-stop terror-filled ride as he tries to get to the bottom of it all in an attempt to find out if the only woman he's ever loved is alive or dead. But even as he hunts the truth, someone is hunting him.Once again Mr. Coben has written a thrilling tale of suspense guaranteed to quicken your pulse as you read the night away. I couldn't put the book down. Eat, sleep, work, it seems you don't need that stuff, not when you've got a Harlan Coben book to read.

Summary: Just OK
Review: I don't get all the great reviews here. The book starts off very promisingly, but then quickly turns hokey. I was very disappointed. The best thing about the book is some of its rich characters, but the story just doesn't ring true and didn't work for me at all. A great concept, just badly realized.

Summary: Harlan, where have you been all my life??
Review: Actually, I was looking up customer reviews for another mystery book, and someone suggested Harlan Coben. Well, I wish to thank that person, as well as Amazon for having this review section. What an incredible "page turner". My mom and I are hooked. She went on to read two more Coben books and she raves about them. Keep writing, Mr. Coben!!

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: Tell Everyone, This is a Masterpiece!
Review: There are very few books you start reading and can't put down until the final page, no matter what is on TV or happening outside of the book. This thriller is one of those sensational novels. Dr. David Beck lost his wife eight years ago after being knocked unconscious by a baseball bat, to a serial killer named Killroy who tortured her for three days before branding and killing her. He has never gotten over her death but has tired to lead a normal life by helping out the underprivileged children through his surgery in a rough neighbourhood. Nearing the anniversary of her death he received an e-mail which makes him question his sanity by giving him a small hope she may not actually be dead. Meanwhile two more bodies turn up at the lake where Elizabeth was abducted alongside the very baseball bat used to knock Beck unconscious. The FBI suspects Dr. Beck may have more to do with his wife's murder than they previously thought and when more murders occur that point to him, he becomes one of America's most wanted. He can't surrender though, because his wife might just be out there trying to contact him and in custody he may miss the chance to ever find out if she is alive. The violent people who murdered her eight years ago have also become interested in Dr. Beck and they want to have a little chat. This is a sensational thriller. Buy a blank tape for your VCR as well as Tell No One, because you will not be watching TV or doing anything else until you have finished this masterpiece.

Summary: Pretty Good Stuff: Tell No One by Harlan Coben
Review: "It was the one lesson he never forgot. You don't sit back when you or a loved one is being assaulted. And you don't act like the government with their 'proportional responses' and all that nonsense. If someone hurts you, mercy and pity must be put aside. You eliminate the enemy. You scorch the earth. Those who scoffed at this philosophy, who thought it unnecessarily Machiavellian, usually were the ones who cause excess destruction." So wrote Harlan Coben in his very enjoyable book with a theme of vengeance and revenge. At center point in this novel is Doctor David Beck. A man of medicine and a man that does not believe in the modern day psycho babble nonsense concerning such things as closure. For David Beck, time does not heal all wounds. First his father died twelve years ago in what could have been a simple traffic accident or a suicide. Then, eight short years ago, his wife was murdered. The fact that he was powerless to stop it, dropped by blows to the head that cracked his skull does not alleviate his pain and his guilt over her murder. They were at the family retreat and she was grabbed, he was brutally assaulted and pushed off the dock to drown in the lake. The fact that he survived was a medical miracle and something that he has never accepted. He misses her tremendously every single day of his life. Despite the fact that everyone had told him to move on, he can't. And as it comes time to mark their anniversary, he is reminded how much he misses her. Then, he gets a strange e-mail with a message containing a phrase that only the two of them shared. No one else could possible know the phrase or what it means. Then, he gets a second message a day later and is soon directed to a web cam that for a moment, somewhere in the world, shows her. Or someone that looks amazingly like her. He begins a frantic search, turning to his friends and family. At the same time, someone is searching for him and to find out what he knows about happened eight years ago. And they will stop at absolutely nothing to get the answers they seek to end the problem once and for all. This is a very enjoyable novel and primarily action oriented. There is some character development on a rather limited scale, but the focus is on a man running for his life from events beyond his control. Sure it has been done before but this one is better than most. This good read novel keeps the reader turning the page and is full of numerous false clues and detours until one reaches a very surprising ending.

Summary: Fantastic thriller!
Review: I regularly lend this book to friends who aren't regular readers and tell them "Just read the first chapter." They are of course then hooked and read the whole book in less than a week. This book is the reason mystery/thriller readers read. It grabs you and doesn't let go. So, even if you aren't much of a reader but are going on vacation, on a long flight, etc. this is the book to bring with you.
