A widowed veteran gets the shock of her life in this impossible-to-put-down thriller from the bestselling author and creator of the hit Netflix dramas The Stranger and Stay Close.
In the course of eight consecutive #1 New York Times bestsellers, millions of readers have discovered Harlan Coben’s page-turning thrillers, filled with his trademark edge-of-your-seat suspense and gut-wrenching emotion. In Fool Me Once, Coben once again outdoes himself....
Former special ops pilot Maya, home from the war, sees an unthinkable image captured by her nanny cam while she is at work: her two-year-old daughter playing with Maya’s husband, Joe—who was brutally murdered two weeks earlier. The provocative question at the heart of the mystery: Can you believe everything you see with your own eyes, even when you desperately want to? To find the answer, Maya must finally come to terms with deep secrets and deceit in her own past before she can face the unbelievable truth about her husband—and herself.

Verifying the truth and investigating the lie
5By hargrettSo I was so surprised finding out that the family did do what Maya said they did and I could not understand the mother psychiatrist be so deceptive. And then the whole whole family or sneaky and deceptive I was so surprised to find out that Maya did kill her husband because he killed her sister, and if she had not removed that firing pin, he would have killed her as well.FOOL ME ONCE

1By 123razinI have no idea why I finished this book. Possibly I kept waiting for it to be as good as author’s other books.Review
5By Orchid plantVery good read. Never expected the ending. Not what I imagined it would be. That’s the best part……Name? Name?
4By Jenny1986I enjoyed the pace and plot of this book, but there was something random that really started to bother me about halfway in. During EVERY conversation, the characters would randomly insert the name of the person they’re speaking to in the form of a question. It was excessive and unnatural, like the literary equivalent of a verbal pause. Example- Maya: I think we should go to the grocery store. Shane: Maya? Maya: What? Shane: No. Detective: Did you kill your husband? Maya: Detective? Detective: Yes? Maya: No I didn’t. I understand this is a crazy gripe, but it was so frequent that it really started to bother me. The fact that I finished the book speaks volumes to how interesting and engaging the plot was.Fool me once

5By HMF14I read this book in the course of a weekend and could not put it down. It was compelling, twisty and incredibly well-written (which is an anomaly for this genre). I sincerely hope the film adaption gets made. One of the best I’ve read in a long, long time.Fool Me Once: Excellent
