4 Stars from me
GOOD. NESS. ME!
This book is 100% Classic Coben and is a super fast unrealistic yet utterly gripping thriller.
David was a likeable character and he maintains his innocence throughout, and we might like him but do we believe him?
If you can suspend belief and just roll with it then this is a fast and furious thriller that you’ll find hard to put down. It’s all action from the very beginning and packed full of twists, turns and red herrings.
My thanks to the author, NetGalley and Random House for an ARC in return for an honest review.
Blurb: David and Cheryl Burroughs are living the dream – married, a beautiful house in the suburbs, a three year old son named Matthew – when tragedy strikes one night in the worst possible way.
David awakes to find himself covered in blood, but not his own – his son’s. And while he knows he did not murder his son, the overwhelming evidence against him puts him behind bars indefinitely.
Five years into his imprisonment, Cheryl’s sister arrives – and drops a bombshell.
She’s come with a photograph that a friend took on vacation at a theme park. The boy in the background seems familiar – and even though David realizes it can’t be, he knows it is. It’s Matthew, and he’s still alive.
David plans a harrowing escape from prison, determined to do what seems impossible – save his son, clear his own name, and discover the real story of what happened that devastating night.
