Tell No One

by Harlan Coben

Tell No One Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

For Dr. David Beck, the loss was shattering. Every day for the past eight years, he has relived the horror of what happened. The gleaming lake. The pale moonlight. The piercing screams. The night his wife was taken. The last night he saw her alive.

Everyone tells him it's time to move on, to forget the past once and for all. But for David Beck, there can be no closure. A message has appeared on his computer, a phrase only he and his dead wife know. Suddenly Beck is taunted with the impossible — that somewhere, somehow, Elizabeth is alive.

Beck has been warned to tell no one. And he doesn't. Instead, he runs from the people he trusts the most, plunging headlong into a search for the shadowy figure whose messages hold a desperate hope.

But already Beck is being hunted down. He's headed straight into the heart of a dark and deadly secret — and someone intends to stop him before he gets there.

Review:

"Harlan Coben's Tell No One begins at a run and in no time is moving at an all-out sprint....The characters are engaging and the strange goings-on will leave readers rapidly turning pages in search of fresh clues....[Coben] writes with wit and a shrewd sense of plotting." San Francisco Chronicle

Review:

"Set to be one of the big thriller reads of the summer....Fifteen pages into this book, you're sucked in and Coben never lets the pace stall....If it takes more than two days to finish this one, you're working too many hours. A hot summer rush." Detroit News

"Compelling, cinematic...with surprises in store for the reader until the very last page....[Readers will] savor every clue, every detail." USA Today

"A gloriously exciting yarn....A quest for answers that will have you burning the midnight oil till 3:00 a.m." Kirkus Reviews

I really enjoyed this novel. It was AWESOME!! I was hooked right from the beginning all the way to the last page. I was constantly coming up with different conclusions all the way throughout the novel. Coben sure has a talent of intriguing his readers. Sure i did it as an english assignment. But it has turned out to be the most enjoyable assignment i have had to do!! YOU HAVE TO READ IT
