Parents have an inborn right to get worried, so it seemed reasonable that after a suicide at their son's school, Tia and Mike Baye would secretly insert spyware into his home computer. For the first several days, their furtive surveillance uncovers nothing alarming, or at least nothing completely unexpected on the PC of a rambunctious 16-year-old boy. Then, just as the Baye's worries begin to ease, their world is jolted by a single cryptic six-word message: "Just stay quiet and all safe." When Adams goes missing, full-throttle terror enters their lives. A whodunit ripped from every parent's worst fear.

I hate this already as children have right to privacy too. Article 161. No child shall be subjected...
Harlan's style of writing is so effortless you aren't even aware of the writing itself. You're just sucked into the story. I could so relate to the drama of the parents I could barely put the book down to feed my family. LOL
I've read a few of Coben's books in the past and always find them a good way to spend my time. This one was no exception. It's a solid, engaging mystery set in suburbia where everybody seems to be hiding a secret.My only complaint was that at times I felt there were too many characters and I was a l...
