Reviews
'A magnificent great doughnut of a book . . . Coben has written one of the most expertly paced, unguessably twisting plots I have come across in a long time . . . thoroughly satisfying
A propulsive thriller, a touching love story and a subtle analysis of dysfunctional families . . . Coben creates a host of striking characters . . . This is top-notch thriller writing
This is superbly crafted, high-adrenalin entertainment
Gone for Good is Harlan Coben's follow-up to the bestselling Tell No One and will not disappoint . . . Ingenious and gripping, this is another thriller to stir the heart
A criminally good novel . . . [a] plot with so many twists and turns I felt both giddy and wildly exhilarated by the end. What makes Harlan Coben so special is his ability to pick ordinary people who harbour extraordinary, and often deeply dark, secrets
In Coben's novels trust nothing and no one. He is a superb writer and a devilish plotter . . . Take my word, this story is exceptional
This twisty treat is one of the best thrillers you'll read this year
