Reviews

  • Booklist Reviews : Booklist Reviews 2023 March #1
    Coben's latest stand-alone thriller stars a prisoner convicted of murdering his three-year-old son five years previously. Despite overwhelming evidence, the prisoner, Burroughs, is convinced of his own innocence but too deep in grief to do anything about it. That changes when his sister-in-law visits, showing him a photo from a recent corporate event that captures a boy who looks just like Burroughs' son as he'd look at eight. Burroughs is galvanized into action, convincing the warden, the best friend of Burroughs' father (the first of many coincidences in this story), to help him escape. Burroughs' sister-in-law, luckily a former investigative journalist, also helps him once he's out. The plot moves at a furious pace, like an action movie with lots of violent encounters and breathless escapes. But, like many action movies, the thriller part works, but the mystery doesn't, leaving the reader confused on multiple scores. Too many coincidences, too many improbabilities, and too many loose ends to be entirely satisfying, but Coben's devoted fans—and there are many of them—are more interested in adrenalin than subtlety.
