  "Won\'t Miss You" by lizblair (see profile) 05/19/14

The writing of this book is adolescent at best. I trudged through it to learn the end of the mystery. I don\'t think I will read Harlan Coben again.

Really good book. Love Harlan's book. Had some twists in there that I didn't see coming.

Easy read, interesting, well developed characters.

 
  "MISSING YOU didn't grab me until the end of Chapter 1, not bad but not up to Coben's old standard" by ebach (see profile) 04/18/15

He's done it again. Harlan Coben has once again written a winning mystery/thriller in MISSING YOU. Or should I say "mysteries/thrillers" (plural)?

MISSING YOU has more than one mystery going on, one characteristic of all Coben novels. These mysteries all involve Kat (Katerina), a New York police detective whose father, also NYPD, was murdered 18 years ago. Of course, that's one of the mysteries: who did it? Kat also searches for a missing woman, who, it turns out, is one of several people who trust someone they met online, in another of the mysteries. And another mystery has Kat finding her old fiance, who now goes by another name, on that same online dating site.

As usual, this Coben novel is a can't-put-it-down thriller. And, as usual, I repeatedly wondered as I read it, how can Coben keep writing himself into seemingly unsolvable mysteries, only to solve them satisfactorily every time?

One disappointment: although MISSING YOU gets interesting sooner than most books, it is missing one characteristic common to all Coben novels until the last few years. That is, his novels were always tnrilling right away, from page 1 or 2. MISSING YOU didn't grab me until the end of Chapter 1, not bad but not up to Coben's old standard.

A book filled with lots of twists & turns. Makes you think more about technology in our society & its really dark side! The characters are interesting & well developed. A novel you don't want to put down.

 
  "Missing You" by bkmnmpl (see profile) 09/26/17

This was a well written suspense thriller. It was more thriller than mystery. I like the lead character, but I was not entertained by the brutish killers. They were so diabolical that it sickened me to read about their plan. While I didn't hate reading this book, I don't think I will read more of Coben's work... just not my genre anymore.
