Reviews
Praise for  The Stranger "Coben can always be relied on to generate thrills from the simplest premises, but his finest tales maintain a core of logic throughout the twists. This 100-proof nightmare ranks among his most potent." -- Kirkus , starred review Praise for Harlan Coben and his novels "Coben is 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, bestselling author of Gone Girl "Once again, Coben has brilliantly used a current trend, in this case Internet dating, to create a can't-put-it-down thriller." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Missing You "Coben... has written another twisty ripped-from-the-headlines page-turning stand-alone that could be his best yet." -- Library Journal (starred review) on Missing You "Once again, Coben has expertly constructed and then dismantled a time bomb of a plot." --Booklist on Missing You " Missing You  is another winner in Coben's stack of winners." -- Huffington Post "This is a dive-in, lose-sleep and miss-your-bus-stop reading experience." -- Associated Press on Missing You "The narrative is immersive, and the well-drawn characters and twisting plotting are stellar.

Then he whispers a few words in your ear and disappears, leaving you picking up the pieces of your shattered world... Adam Price has a lot to lose: a comfortable marriage to a beautiful woman, two wonderful sons, and all the trappings of the American Dream: a big house, a good job, a seemingly perfect life.

    I thought I was ordering a paper back, especially considering the price was only around $10. I'm not sure if they shipped a hard cover by mistake. But I am more than happy to accept it. The description wasn't clear on what it was. So this could very well have been the intended item. I was not very impressed with their customer service at all. It took them days to respond and they didn't seem to care about the delay in shipping. I might purchase again, but I would be cautious as it was delayed.

    The book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++
