Description
The worlds of celebrity and sports are brilliantly dissected and turned upside down in the debut thriller from the bestselling author and creator of the hit Netflix drama The Stranger.
Theirs was a marriage made in tabloid heaven, but no sooner had supermodel Laura Ayars and Celtics star David Baskin said “I do” than tragedy struck. While honeymooning on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, David went out for a swim—and never returned.
Now widowed and grieving, Laura has a thousand questions and no answers. Her search for the truth will draw her into a web of lies and deception that stretches back thirty years—while on the court at Boston Garden, a rookie phenom makes his spectacular debut...
Reviews
Rather implausible
2By malibueIt was a good read, but the plot was rather implausible.Play Dead
3By AwixaVery confusing at times.Simplistic
2By Whirlymeto the point of being insulting. Poor grammar and a tired theme beat to death and then dragged through every repetitious redundancy of story telling that exists, is what this book delivers. Anyone with half a brain would figure out the obvious perpetrator and next the actual murderer. It was torturous to actually finish this book. You just want it to be over. Don't waste your time or money is my recommendation.Play Dead
5By Miss DoatsI could not put this book down.The author has done an excellent job. I'm looking forward for more reading.Loved it
4By StaceysilvaHave read 3 of Cobens books so far and this is by far my favorite.He's right
1By Your_MotherThis book is.... Not the best...it reads like a romance novel. I really like Coben - this isn't typical. Find another book.Play Dead
2By Hoosier fan#1I love the Myron Bolitar series but the person who read this book was awful. The voices were terrible and not true to the characters personalities at all. I should have read this rather than purchasing it in audio form.Play Dead
5By I'm up reading!Harlan has a mind for suspense. I've read ALL of his books. Don't pay attention to other reviewers that didn't like this book Just ask them to read their books. Harlan is talented. I wish my first book would be this good.Play Dead
5By Working SpyIn the introduction, Coben says this is his very first novel which had not been published until recently - couldn't tell it by me, it was excellent as are all his stories. It did drag in places, but his unique style was evident even back then, like when there were no cells phones...LOL. Worth every penny. ALL HAIL HARLAN!Play dead
4By Crack trivia addictOnly one problem. He never explained the body that was supposed to be David.
