I waited months for a book only to be disappointed
I always look forward to reading Harlan Coben's latest thriller. I try to get a head start on the hold list and free up some relaxing hours to become engrossed in the plot. I was hooked years ago when I read Tell No One - a great read!
I am sorry to say I found his latest book, Stay Close, very disappointing. The character development is shallow and he resorts to cheap tricks to fill the pages. I mean seriously, Ken and Barbie as Christian torturers? Couldn't he come up with something more believable than that? Usually, when I read one of his novels there is slow buildup of tension as the plot gets more and more convoluted and we are drawn into his characters lives. I couldn't make myself care about the people in this novel and the plot was primarily unbelievable.
I sure hope he returns to form with his next novel...because I don't think this one was worth my time.
