Gone for Good – Harlan Coben (Pulse - Pounding)
Phew!! That is how I felt after every few pages of “Gone for Good”. Harlan Coben sure knows how to keep his audience on the edge. True to form, Coben keeps the plot twists coming fast and furious, and readers will give up trying to guess the outcome quite early on; yet the book's entertainment value lies less in its plot than its characters.Eleven years ago, Julie Miller was found brutally strangled in the basement of her house in the township of Livingston, New Jersey. On that day, Will's brother, Ken Klein, became the subject of an international manhunt accused of the crime. He has not been seen since. Will has tried to get on with his life in the intervening years. He has a beautiful new girlfriend, Sheila, and a job working with the homeless. But when his mother reveals, on her deathbed, that Ken is still alive, and shortly afterwards Sheila disappears, the cracks start to show in his landscape again. But it is only when he finds that Sheila herself is wanted for a savage double murder that his life actually starts to fall apart...
Read this if you are in a mood for a good suspense book. It was an extremely fast-paced and exciting read. I'm so happy to have discovered this author!!
