Reviews
For years, readers of American crime thrillers have been rating Harlan Coben as one of the most sheerly entertaining and accomplished writers in the genre . . . The Innocent has everything that Coben admirers turn to his books for. For a start, there's the tortuous narrative that springs a non-stop series of surprises on the reader. Then there's that scabrously witty dialogue. And best of all, the teeming cast of characters. And boy, it is a vintage batch here
Harlan Coben always has a good tale to tell, and he knows how to present it with elegance, pace and loads of tension
Harlan Coben has made his intentions clear: he wants to fool his readers. And he makes a good job of doing so in The Innocent . . . The enjoyably intricate plot takes several turns before we are fooled for the last time and the villains and motive are revealed. A book to read in one gulp
One of America's top thriller writers. This is his best book yet
Dark, twisted and gripping
