CAUGHT by Harlan Coben



Good murder mystery that leaves you wondering if the murderer is innocent.  Wasn’t expecting that ending, but it has a good story line.  A pedophile is killed and there is one less pedophile on the street.  But when you start digging into his life, was he really a pedophile?  Dan Mercer was set up but only he knows this to be the truth.  Well, maybe one other person…

This story has more plots than “let’s kill the pedophile”.   This story is also about how you can easily slander someone with lies and allegations.  Justice is supposed to be “innocent until proven guilty” but when it comes to spreading rumors the opposite is usually how it turns out. Society says you are guilty and even if you are proven innocent the harm has already been done.

Another theme running through this story is that we must forgive when others hurt us.  That may be the most important message of all!
