That's disappointing to hear it was just kind of meh. So far I haven't been inspired to pick up any of the books I own and that'll probably stay that way.Katherine Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126062556416434416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-66212216601199967062021-08-20T13:12:06.003-07:002021-08-20T13:12:06.003-07:00Oh...and I love the redesign of your blog!

As for me, this does little to convince me his writing is worth my time.

I've yet to find a Coben novel that made me want to read more of his work, and I've been wondering about his immense popularity for a long time now.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-88477428929589978812021-08-20T11:34:24.497-07:002021-08-20T11:34:24.497-07:00When I read the blurb, like you I was immediately ...When I read the blurb, like you I was immediately intrigued.

That said, it was an entertaining read and hopefully his next book will be better.
