Holy wow… this story blew me away. The main character literally has no way out of a tragic situation: wife murdered, himself left for dead, infant daughter kidnapped. And then, HE is blamed. Partner that with some truly nefarious characters running a black market that gives any parent nightmares, and you have an up-all-night read-athon. I actually guessed some of the twists before the end, but others I never saw coming. Highly recommended!
This was an unpredictable book! There was a point when Marc was telling his story and going over everything in his head, I sorta skip thru that. But it does have a surprising ending.
Paul Teague recommended that I try Harlan Coben. thank you Paul. The hallmark of a great writer is that you don’t have to worry which book to pick to read. Pick any one. You just can’t go wrong. Another masterpiece. And thank you Harlan.
I enjoyed the story and the characters. The twisty plot was well done. Harlan Coben is one of my favorite authors.
I’m a fan of Harlan Coben — so I don’t think I’ve ever read one of his books that I haven’t liked. No Second Chance tells the story of Dr. Marc Seidman who survives a shooting. However, his wife is shot and killed and his infant daughter is kidnapped. A ransom note arrives and the twists and turns begin. Couldn’t put this book down!
Good, but not one of Coban’s best. Tara is kidnapped, random is paid, but she’s never returned. Years later, the kidnapper extorts another ransom. Blind alleys, distorted friendships finally lead to the truth. Story is well-written, just not very tight.
Another fantastic thriller by Harlen Corbin!!
Always intertwining.
Clever story, good twists. One of those stories where you wonder – why do the police have to be so dumb?
I didn’t think this was one of Harlen Cobin’s best, but still very good story.
I love this author. Can’t put any of his books down once I start reading. Always has a surprise at the end
I am a Harlan Coben Fan. His characters never disappoint me and his stories are definitely unpredictable. I really loved the unexpected ending.
I COULD NOT STAY W/ IT. DID NOT KEEP MY ATTENTION
Harlan Coban set the bar high with his first offering and has proven his skill by besting himself with each book.
My new fav author. I’m working my way through all his books.
Depicts a situation all parents fear. Highly suspenseful.
You don’t know until the very end. I love that about Coben!
Exciting!!!!
Coben always a great read
Really hard to put down!
