OrangeReviewStarJake Fisher finds the love of his life, Natalie, and imagines their future together as husband and wife. Instead, she dumps him and a few days later then invites him to her wedding to a man she just met. Jake watches Natalie take her vows, and she tells him to leave her alone forever. For six years, he keeps that promise. But when he sees Natalie's husband's obituary, Jake decides to attend the funeral and comfort Natalie. He is stunned to discover that the man's widow is not Natalie and that the church where he watched her marry has no record of the ceremony.
VERDICT Coben is one of the best thriller writers in the business, and he delivers another amazing novel that will resonate with readers long after the final page is turned. The narrative is immersive, and the well-drawn characters and twisting plotting are stellar. With such a cool hook and a surprising and satisfying payoff, don't wait six years to read what might be Coben's best since Tell No One. [See Prepub Alert, 10/17/12.]
