Summary: Tell Everyone
Comment: This book was a very interesting and action-packed book. It kept me guessing and reading until the book was done. Harlan Coben really knows how to write a book. He speaks well to the reader and keeps everything simple, easy, and to the point. He hides nothing from the reader and this is something that I for one really appreciated because some authors will make things hard to understand and use fruity language. The language he uses is very modern and language that is used in the real world. He also includes real situations that make it easier to relate to the story. This is a great thriller and I would recommend it to anyone who likes a good read.

Summary: Good, but maybe one twist too many
Comment: I found this book to be a real page turner. And, after all, isn't that what you want in a mystery? So, maybe I should give it the fifth star. But, there were so many improbable twists and turns that I kind of felt betrayed by the final one. Almost like the author was showing off so I'd know how clever he could be.
Still, the writing is good enough that I plan to read another Coben book. And, if you like crime mysteries at all, you might be pleased if you read this book or another of his works. He clearly has big league writing talent.

Summary: I told everyone
Comment: I ordered this book 2 months ago and let it sit. I was in a reading slump. When I decided to pick it up finally!! I could not put it down the book is a fast paced page turner. I could almost visualize each of the characters with his brief description. What can I say looking for more books from this author.

Summary: Tell No One - When it comes to this book, I intend to follow that advice
Comment: Eight years after the murder of his wife, paediatrician David Beck starts receiving anonymous emails, supposedly from his dead wife, which lead him to believe that she is alive but in grave danger.
"Tell No One" is the sort of book that, now that I have finished reading it, I will probably forget about in the space of a couple of days. It's not a terrible book, but I also didn't think it was all that great, either. Harlan Coben's writing style is easy to read, making this a speedy read that kept me reasonably entertained on my daily bus journey to and from work. However, I didn't have any trouble in putting it down and leaving it, when necessary. Its main flaw is that all of the good characters are sickeningly good (most are charity workers with politically correct attitudes and no flaws at all), and all of the bad characters are so bad that they totally deserve whatever they get. There are no real shades of grey in these characters, which makes them kind of boring. As a mystery, it is an interesting enough story, but there was nothing in it that made it stand out in my mind as being a "great" mystery and the "plot twists", although not glaringly obvious, didn't really come as much of a surprise to me when they did appear. Overall, this book does not inspire me to read anything else by Harlan Coben, and I intend to follow the advice given in the book's title, when it comes to recommending this book. That is, I intend to tell no one about it.

Comment: I could not and did not want to put this book down. This is my 3rd book that I've read by Coben and I've liked every one of them. Loved the twist at the end!
