My thanks to NetGalley and Grand Central for the opportunity to read Harlan Coben's I Will Find You. Another excellent read by a master. This one is a liitle darker than his usual, but as entertaining as ever. What I love most about Coben's books is the love and loyalty amongst the characters

I think this may be my favorite Harlan Coben book yet. I Will Find You is the story of a father in prison for killing his 3 year old son. When David learns there may be chance his son is still alive, he will stop at nothing to learn the truth.

The twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat and unable to put the book down. I loved the characters - very realistic, even some of the bad guys , you could’t help but kind of like by the end. This is one I definitely hope makes it to TV.

Fans of thrillers and Coben will not want to miss this one. One of the most entertaining books I’ve read in a while.

I’m a big Coben fan. I found this novel compelling, but somewhat unexpected. It’s the story of David, in a state prison after the murder of this 3 year old son. Despite his conviction with overwhelming evidence, he can neither recall nor believe that he could have hurt his beloved son.

His awful time in prison, including the worst of prison violence, was difficult to read. The book totally changes course when a visitor shows David a photo which becomes a catalyst for an absolutely thrilling period of escape and search for the truth.

Though this is darker than the typical Coben novel, it is a well-written and engaging. I found the closure satisfying and I loved the chase as FBI agent Bernstein tries to trap David and the truth about the murder of Matthew

I highly recommend this thriller to my readers.
Thanks Netgalley for this great novel.

Another great book by Coben. This is one of my favorites by this author. My only complaint is that all the main characters of his books seem to have the same personality and sense of humor. It's a fun personality, but feels like I'm reading about the same character I did in the last book.

When I finished this book, I was so very disappointed – that it was over! Oh my goodness, this was a roller coaster of emotion, action, and thrills!

I loved our characters so much! I have no clue if there will be further books starring some my favorites, but I hope so. I felt like I knew these people.

It’s a super fast read. I started yesterday evening, stopped for sleep and finished it this morning before work. And honestly? It was perfect from the first page to the last.

Only sad that it’s over and extremely glad I read it.

A father sent to prison for murdering his son. This is the premise for Harlan Cobens latest story. Sometimes I read a book fast to get to the next one. Rarely but once in a blue moon I will read slowly because I'm enjoying the story so much I don't want it to end. this is one of those books. Perfect for a winter day or 2. Don't miss this one.

Harlan Coben does it again! I always anxiously wait for the release of a new Coben book. I have loved them all. I was obviously thrilled when NetGalley gave me an ARC of his newest novel that will be released this March. Imagine losing your child, imagine the pain of your child being murdered then imagine being wrongfully accused of your child’s death. That is the premise of this action-packed, race against time story that reminded me of the movie “The Fugitive.” 5 stars!

David Burroughs 3 year old son was brutally murdered. David feels guilty for not protecting his son so when he is arrested and tried for the murder he feels he deserves it for not protecting his son. When his ex sister in law visits him in prison she has a photo of a boy at an amusement park who David is convinced is his son. David decides he needs to find a way to escape and find his son. He know the authorities won’t believe him, they are convinced he murdered his son. Who has his son and why was he taken. This book is a suspense filled ride on David’s journey to find his son. It took me awhile to figure out the motive and even then I was surprised by a twist in the story. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

I was given this book by NetGalley for an honest review-
What a book!!!
When Matthew is murdered in his crib and his father is sent to prison—- there is no way he believes he has done this and swears he’s been set up.
Five years later his wife’s sister visits the prison with a picture of a boy she claims is Matthew! Could it be? Is Matthew alive? David decides he must break out of jail and bring his son home. But - can he do it? Who has Matthew and why?
This was a great book!

David Burroughs is in prison for brutally killing his son five years ago. except he really is innocent of the crime. He doesn’t care he’s locked up since his life feels over without his son. That is until the day his ex-sister in law visits and show him a photo of Matthew, now 8 , and very much alive. If that’s the case who set Burroughs up for the killing, and how can he get out of prison to find him? A rollercoaster suspense ride we’ve come to expect from Harlan Coben.

There’s some kind of awe I feel every time I get the opportunity to read an early copy of a Harlan Coben book. My uncle put me onto Harlan’s books nearly 20 years ago and I’ve been a diehard fan ever since - attending every NYC B&N signing I could and beyond.

I’m insanely grateful that I’m now in a place where I get to read and review Harlan’s books ahead of publication - and trust me, I drop everything the minute it gets in my hand.

I Will Find You is another 5 star winner from Harlan - filled with signature wit, a story about the lengths a father will go to for his child - with prison breakouts, a gaggle of bad guys and Harlan’s signature twist and turns, this is surely a must read when it releases in March! Oh … and there’s quite a few cameos for the Harlan diehards

Be sure to check it out and get your pre-orders in now!
