I just read Mr. Coben’s last book Six Years and I liked
it. Naturally, for me, I wanted to see
what his other books were like. I got a
listing starting with his first book published and this was it.
In a nutshell, In 1989 Laura and David get married and David
disappears on their honeymoon. The book
begins with a scene in 1960, so that leads me to believe the events of 1989 are
the result of what happened in 1960. Laura
goes on her own mission to discover what happened to David because his body is
never recovered. It is alleged that he drowned,
however he is or was a professional basketball player and experienced
swimmer.
I thought it was a great story and well written even though
the author wrote a disclaimer in the beginning of the book advising the reader
to read his recent work first, then read his older work. In all honesty, there was only one section of
the story, near the end, where there was a little confusion in the plot. I won’t mention any detail, because them I would
be giving away some part of the story – read it yourself.
