Tell No One is my first Harlan Coben novel. This one is incredibly fast paced and goes in plenty of unexpected directions. I like it quite alot. All the characters here, even those briefly or seemingly randomly mentioned serve a definite purpose to the larger story. Plenty of them, however, are quite wooden. It's like I was reading a much older novel at times but I didn't mind that, that much. There is plenty of representation here. Black and Asian characters have major roles as do lesbian and a person with disability. Just like in real life. I like this very much. In contrast, the lead character, Dr. Beck, is just so cowardly, tentative, wimpy and a huge racial profiler. Just unlikeable. However, he did partially redeem himself in the end. The story itself is a fun ride. It reminded me of 80s/90s action movies. It's a time capsule of how things were and the inappropriateness of the era. Hated it at first but I was drawn halfway through by the plot twists. It did feel that this book has too many buy I'm not one to complain. It also lazily did not tie-up a couple or so arcs (?) Giving this book a 3.4. Did it's job and made me interested for more Cohen. I was entertained and that's all I could ask for.
One of the best thriller that I ever read.
This was so good! A real page turner, I couldn't stop reading and finished this one in two sessions. I love the way the story unfolds with the little bits and pieces we are being fed one by one. And still I couldn't figure out what exactly has happened that dreadful night at the lake when Elizabeth disappeared and Beck almost died himself. Tell no one is almost 20 years old but has aged very well. The only part I realized this was when Beck was saving stuff on a diskette - but if you exchanged that for "in the cloud" you most probably could not make out that this novel had been written 2 decades ago :) 4/5 - I really liked it
The suspense died down near the end so I didn't enjoy this as much as I expected
