FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR AND CREATOR OF THE HIT NETFLIX DRAMA THE STRANGER
With unmatched suspense and emotional insight, Harlan Coben explores the big secrets and little lies that can destroy a relationship, a family, and even a town in this powerful new thriller.
Suburban New Jersey Detective Napoleon “Nap” Dumas hasn't been the same since senior year of high school, when his twin brother Leo and Leo’s girlfriend Diana were found dead on the railroad tracks - and Maura, the girl Nap considered the love of his life, broke up with him and disappeared without explanation. For fifteen years, Nap has been searching, both for Maura and for the real reason behind his brother's death. And now, it looks as though he may finally find what he's been looking for.
When Maura's fingerprints turn up in the rental car of a suspected murderer, Nap embarks on a quest for answers that only leads to more questions - about the woman he loved, about the childhood friends he thought he knew, about the abandoned military base near where he grew up, and mostly about Leo and Diana - whose deaths are darker and far more sinister than Nap ever dared imagine.

Review: One of his better booksâ¦this would make a great mini-series. Harlan Coben is a great writer and always keeps you guessing.

Title: Strong Story, but ends with gaping plot hole
Review: "Don't Let Go", like all of Coben's books, is an easy, engaging read. For while his plots may be convoluted in the way most thriller plots are, they are also clear, with easily delineated story lines, and easy to track main characters. Coben never relies on the tricks of lesser authors- no characters with names so similar that they become hard to track, no backward-forward-backward time jumps, no chapters of texts/messages...just solid wordsmanship and an interesting, original plot.Even given all of these plusses, I had to deduct one star for the large plot hole that is left unfilled. The main story line is wrapped up by the end of the book, but, the secondary plot is left unresolved, even if the big questions of "why" and "what" are resolved.Still, overall a very enjoyable way to spend time reading, and I loved the cameo by Bolitar.

Title: another excellent read
Review: Harlan Coben keeps me interested to the last page. He continues to come up we twist I donât anticipate. I am trying to be certain I read all his books. I think I am up to 13 so far.

Title: Captivating story!
Review: Intense, intriguing and suspenseful story that held me captive with each turn of the page. Well written with insightful details revealed through the main character's internal dialogue. I look forward to reading another intriguing suspense story from Harlan Coben.

Title: Starts Off Great, Fizzles Out
Review: Napoleon Dumas, or Nap, tells his story in 1st person, and this reader was immediately caught up in the horrid tale of losing his twin brother, Leo, 15 years earlier. An accident, or a suicide? Nap, a cop in Westbridge, NJ, isn't sure. But a chapter earlier, a woman and man involved in a scam to catch cheating husbands in PA, turn out to be former schoolmates of Nap's. Something sinister covers everything. And I'm hooked. For about a third of the novel. Then it falls apart with a Conspiracy Club back in high school, a black ops site nearby, and some unpleasant characters. I expect those in Mr. Coben's novels, but in "Don't Let Go," they also become dull. And Nap loses a lot of his presence.If you want good thrillers by this usually excellent author, read the Myron Bolitar series, or "Caught."

Review: I've been binge reading Harlan's books and the character Nap was someone I thoroughly enjoyed. The character development, the various flavours of his personality not to forget his sense of sarcasm and humour was super enjoyable. I really really really hope Harlan writes more books with Nap as the lead.
