Harlan Coben Β· 2014
67/100

Coben's signature twist-and-reveal plotting works well at the YA level, and Mickey Bolitar's friendship dynamics are the emotional core that keeps the trilogy's audience invested through the end. Series dependency is real β€” newcomers will feel the missing setup β€” and some of the mystery resolutions land too quickly, but for fans finishing the trilogy it delivers.
