Once again Harlan Coben has proven that he is the modern master of the suspense novel. His books normally take a number of twists and turns until he is ready to spring the unexpected ending on the reader. Caught is no exception. In his latest, he has a number of subplots that he weaves together and hits you one surprise ending after another. But this is just not a mystery novel. He also has written of message of forgiveness that rides underneath the mystery. A true fascinating read.
Definately the best book I have read in the last ten years and maybe the best ever. The story of a small Maine town and the lives of its inhabitants has a little of something for everyone. There is drama, humor, love, and even some suspense. The book may be even more relevant today in the current economic times as the industry around the area is failing, one plant and business at a time. Once you have read this marvelous story, you will not soon forget the residents of Empire Falls.
