by Martin Jansen in de Wal, Harlan Coben
My first Harlan Coben book. Will definitely not be my last. The story itself was really good, but not the best I've read. I absolutely love his writing style though.
I listened to the audio of this book. The narrator was a bit annoying at times. I didn't really like his style. The story was okay, a bit dated maybe. The characters had blackberries instead of iPhones, GPS technology was brand new, and teenagers were on MySpace. The old tech was a bit distracting. ...

All of the threads come together a little too neatly in the end, which is Coben's trademark, I suppose...
This is the Coben I love.
