Book Description

With unmatched suspense and emotional insight, Harlan Coben explores the big secrets and little lies that can destroy a relationship, a family, and even a town in this powerful new thriller.

Suburban New Jersey Detective Napoleon “Nap” Dumas hasn't been the same since senior year of high school, when his twin brother Leo and Leo’s girlfriend Diana were found dead on the railroad tracks—and Maura, the girl Nap considered the love of his life, broke up with him and disappeared without explanation. For fifteen years, Nap has been searching, both for Maura and for the real reason behind his brother's death. And now, it looks as though he may finally find what he's been looking for.

When Maura's fingerprints turn up in the rental car of a suspected murderer, Nap embarks on a quest for answers that only leads to more questions—about the woman he loved, about the childhood friends he thought he knew, about the abandoned military base near where he grew up, and mostly about Leo and Diana—whose deaths are darker and far more sinister than Nap ever dared imagine.
 

 “Harlan Coben is the modern master of the hook-and-twist luring you in on the first page...only to shock you on the last.”—Dan Brown

“Simply one of the all-time greats—pick up any one of his thrillers and you’ll find a riveting, twisty, surprising story with a big, beating heart at its core.”—Gillian Flynn

“Outstanding...Coben keeps Nap and the reader blindly guessing as he peels back layers of deceit reaching back 15 years, revealing nesting dolls of deadly secrets.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Coben knows how to deliver an exciting thriller expertly. His latest novel is no exception."—Library Journal

My Review

Don't Let Go by Harlan Coben's latest novel. Coben knows how to write a thriller. I thoroughly enjoyed Don't Let Go.

Don't Let Go is a roller coaster ride of twist and turns. I loved getting into the story of Detective Nap Dumas's past. I was fascinated with how he talked to his dead twin all the time. I have sons who are identical twins and I know how close they are so it was interesting to see how the story would develop.

It had a hard time putting Don't Let Go down as it was filled new revelations and twists as the story moved along. I didn't see some of them coming at all.

Highly recommend Don't Let Go by Harlan Coben.
