Staying Close: Stopping the Natural Drift Toward Isolation in Marriage

Product Information

As well as a classic and gripping storyline, the new thriller boasts an impressive cast of very recognisable faces. The author, who signed a multi-year pact with Netflix, also had his stories The Woods, The Innocent, The Stranger and Gone For Good turned into miniseries. I love making changes, a book is a book and a TV series is a TV series, they are not the same thing and they shouldn't be.

You don't see him in the car, you don't actually see the thing happen; it's all in the viewer's imagination. The pacing is extremely fast and the whole story unravels at the speed of some unpredictably wild tornado. Carlton Flynn, a young man in a distinctive necklace, goes missing from about the same place as another man, Stewart Green, did 17 years ago to the day.Green was an abusive and unpleasant guy and it seemed to me that everyone was better off with him gone. Just when the reader thinks they know where the story is going and pride themselves on having it all figured out, Coben throws them on another loop and nothing is the way it seemed just a few pages before. You may now know all about your new wife’s hidden past, but there’s still the matter of you and daughter Kayleigh inadvertently tag-teaming to murder a man that neither of you knew you’d killed. I first tumbled to Harlan Coben very early in his career when a friend recommended the first or second book in his Myron Bolitar series.

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good thriller, but I guess those people have probably been reading Coben’s books for years.

The Woods, which came out in 2020, and 2021's The Innocent, are set in Poland and Spain respectively. In a nutshell, this is an enthralling yet entertaining crime thriller that will better be enjoyed by general readers instead of the dedicated fans of the crime fiction genre. Megan Pierce was once a ‘playgirl’ who worked in Vegas, and now she’s a soccer mom with two children, a husband she loves, and a perfect home with a picket fence. While he is undeniably a deft plotter, even when dealing with various strings and many characters to tie together, the characters are what really fall flat in my opinion.
