Nobody writes suspense like Harlan Coben. In his latest, Missing You (#383), he starts off with Kat Donovan, a veteran NYPD detective whose life has been marred by two devastating emotional blows: the unsolved murder of her cop father and the abrupt jilting by her fiancé eighteen years ago. No one has ever been able to replace either of these men in her life. Her friend Stacy isn't about to let that fact stop her. She enrolls Kat in an on-line dating service.
When a missing person case that Kat is working on suddenly seems to intersect with a picture of her former fiancé on her dating website, things become dangerous. Could Kat become the next victim, just as she's beginning to make headway on solving her father's murder?
It's almost impossible to put down a Harlan Coben book once you've started it, and Missing You is no exception. Safety on the Internet is a very chancy thing, even when you do take precautions, but after reading Missing You, I'm doubly glad that I don't use Facebook, or other similar on-line social media. You might want to rethink your own habits if read this book yourself. But then again, doesn't that just make you want to go out and get hold of your very own copy?
