Critics Review

This is the business… This book will keep you up

Coben’s genius - and his most frustrating trick - is that he makes it all seem so obvious, then kicks your legs away before the end * FHM *This is the first of the highly-regarded Bolitar books I’ve read and now I understand what the fuss is all about. Coben’s narrative voice in this novel is fresh and surprising, equally at home with sentiment and satire. The twists in the plot are superb * MORNING STAR *It is to the author’s credit that although Myron is an immensely likeable and sympathetic character, he is just as convincing when he turns nasty * DAILY MAIL *[Coben is] a highly original writer, with a handful of brilliant characters at his disposal … Hilarious and bursting with suspense, Darkest Fear is also an exceptionally moving novel * WATERSTONES BOOKS QUARTERLY *[Coben] demonstrates his ability to take a story to a new level of originality, intrigue and surprise … Riveting stuff, with some of the sharpest dialogue you’ll read in a thriller. In this case, the hype is an understatement - this is in a class of its own * DAILY RECORD *The novel rattles along at a breakneck pace and as usual the dialogue crackles with sparkling one-liners. Coben is on top form here … All his characters leap off the page and I was truly disappointed by the fact that eventually this terrific novel had to end * ENIGMA *Intelligent and gripping this is a real white-knuckle read of a thriller * DAILY MAIL *Bolitar is a glorious character * GUARDIAN *For years, readers of American crime thrillers have been rating Harlan Coben as one of the most sheerly entertaining and accomplished writers in the genre * DAILY EXPRESS *This is the business… This book will keep you up * THE TIMES *Harlan Coben is the modern master of the hook-and-twist - luring you in on the first page, only to shock you on the last * Dan Brown *
