About this deal

Besides my small qualms with this novel, I still love Harlen Coben's fiction. He's genuinely my favorite thriller writer because he never takes his foot off the gas once and introduces me to a killer so malicious, it shouldn't be possible that he exists. But he does... maybe. Long story short: Read Missing You or else you'll be missing out! Something doesn't seem quite right, and so Kat begins to investigate and stumbles onto an Internet dating scam where innocent victims are going of on dates with people they met online and are never heard from again. And--horror of horrors!--Kat's old boyfriend seems to be right in the middle of the scam. Sorry this review is so light on details, but to give more would take all the fun out of it. If this is your first Coben, you're in for a wild ride. Here we have a story about Kat....a NYPD detective. After a close friend signs up the single Kat for an online dating service, she stumbles across an old flame. This one simple act, combined with the imminent death of her father's convicted killer sets Kat off to question events in her past that have always remained a mystery...to ask questions that might be best left unasked....to seek answers she might not be able to live with.....along this road of discovery she also stumbles upon a questionable missing persons case....and from there all hell breaks loose....

Brendan’s mother has gone of for a holiday with a guy she met online. Brendan is convinced that she is in danger but the police tell him she’s a grown woman and he should not worry her.I am a recent convert to audiobooks. And I've discovered that what makes a good written book doesn't necessarily work as an audiobook. Audiobooks need to be fast paced enough to keep your attention without bogging you down in detail. Harlan Coben succeeds with fun plot lines, wonderful turns of phrase and interesting characters. This one involves two initially disparate storylines. In fact, I found myself scratching my head trying to figure out how they were going to come together. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Harlan Coben is my favorite author. His novels are replete with well-developed characters, believable dialogue, great humor, and they have more twists and turns than a steep mountain road. Coben’s last thriller, Six Years, was my favorite of 2013 and I just finished his new book, due out this Tuesday, Missing You. So, how does it measure up to last year’s offering? Read on, my curious friend. This startling information sets Kat off on a quest to discover the truth about her beloved dad's death.

Missing You - Harlan Coben

Capt. Maya Stern Burkett, the heroine of this stellar standalone from Edgar-winner Coben (The Stranger), has suffered more than her fair share of tragedy. Her career as a U.S. Army Continue reading » Forget about solving all these crimes; the signal triumph here is (spoiler) the heroine’s survival. Another sweltering month in Charlotte, another boatload of mysteries past and present for overworked, overstressed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. I've yet to be disappointed by a Harlan Coben novel. Though I was prepared for a satisfying reading experience I wasn't expecting it to be quite this good. This was very enjoyable as I wait patiently for that next Myron Bolitar series installment (hint, hint).The book alternates between accounts of Kat's investigations and descriptions of the gang's activities, which are seriously stomach churning. After a six-year hiatus, it's good to herald the return of Myron Bolitar, the former Boston Celtics basketball star who became a sports agent and crime solver in Coben's sprightly, Continue reading » I always get excited when I first open a Harlan Coben book . I know I’m going to be in for an exciting ride and this book did not disappoint me. There was a new twist around every corner. The clues are given to us slowly. It made me think about putting together a puzzle for the first time. Piece by piece, the picture of all that is going on in Kat’s life fall into place, but it takes that last piece for everything to become clear. Enter an eighteen year old kid who is convinced something has happened to his mother after she goes on vacation with a guy she met online and Kat begins to notice something kind of fishy about this dating service.

This was a fantastic read!!!! I think it might be my favourite Coben yet, and I've been a mad fan for years! Kat had eighteen years of sorrow behind her. The day her police officer dad was murdered, was also the beginning of the end for Jeff and her. Eighteen years she tried to find her father's killer, despite the fact that a convicted killer confessed to her father's murder.

All of which makes a pretty good story. But then the second strand, which ties things together, is a farm in rural Pennsylvania, where Titus and his companions are raising a curious crop, one that makes a fortune. 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) Interesting characters in the story include Kat's bosses - who try to discourage her inquiries into her dad's death; Kat's yoga teacher - who was a brilliant student before his nervous breakdown; Kat's friend Stacy - who's gorgeous and adept at warding off unwanted advances; Kat's mom - an alcoholic with two loyal, but quirky, friends; Titus - the cold-blooded leader of the abduction gang; Bo - a Labrador who likes to chase balls; and others. I must be one sentimental bastard. While I’d like to say, “I ain’t missing you at all.” I’d be hard-pressed to do it with a straight face. Eighteen years? No problem. But, on the other hand, life’s too short to let that much time pass. Seize the moment. That’s what I always say. Or maybe it was Sigmund or Freud or Siskel or Ebert.The reader (though not the cops) soon learns that Brandon's mother is indeed missing. She's being held by a group of murderous criminals who abduct wealthy people to force money out of them. The setup is irresistible, the twists generously piled on and the climax suitably pulse-pounding, even though best-selling Coben (Six Years, 2013, etc.) is hard-pressed to tie all those complications together or produce a payoff that rises to their deliciously suspenseful levels.
