In the distance he hears a female voice singing off key and strumming a guitar. He's mesmerized by the very sight of her begging for stray dollar bills and random coins. Paige looks up in her drugged state, but she utters one word: "Dad?" Simon reaches toward her, but Paige takes off running in a frenzied motion. And right up in Simon's face is Aaron, Paige's druggie boyfriend. An altercation takes place and it's videotaped by onlookers. Now Simon is the one arrested. I’ve just finished reading ‘the match’, another great read.

I have been eagerly awaiting the publication of Run Away, Coben's latest thriller for several months, and was excited to get my hands on an advance copy a few days before its release. While this won't surpass Home as my favorite of his books, Coben has another terrific book on his hands.As with all his novels, Coben keeps the pace moving along at a good clip. He intersperses small doses of humor to help when things threaten to get too dark. The basic question is one all parents can relate to. How far would you go to save your child? As with most Coben books, this is all about the story. Characters are secondary. The ending totally threw me for a loop. Just perfect! Coben really knows how to balance thrills and character dynamics. I found it hard to put Run Away down. Andreeva, Nellie (October 3, 2022).
