ReviewsPraise for  The Stranger "Coben can always be relied on to generate thrills from the simplest premises, but his finest tales maintain a core of logic throughout the twists. This 100-proof nightmare ranks among his most potent." -- Kirkus , starred review Praise for Harlan Coben and his novels "Coben is simply one of the all-time greats--pick up any one of his thrillers and you'll find a riveting, twisty, surprising story with a big, beating heart at its core."  --Gillian Flynn, bestselling author of Gone Girl "Once again, Coben has brilliantly used a current trend, in this case Internet dating, to create a can't-put-it-down thriller." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Missing You "Coben... has written another twisty ripped-from-the-headlines page-turning stand-alone that could be his best yet." -- Library Journal (starred review) on Missing You "Once again, Coben has expertly constructed and then dismantled a time bomb of a plot." --Booklist on Missing You " Missing You  is another winner in Coben's stack of winners." -- Huffington Post "This is a dive-in, lose-sleep and miss-your-bus-stop reading experience." -- Associated Press on Missing You "The narrative is immersive, and the well-drawn characters and twisting plotting are stellar. With such a cool hook and a surprising and satisfying payoff, don't wait six years to read what might be Coben's best since Tell No One ." -- Library Journal (starred review) on Six Years "Any new book from Coben is a cause for celebration, and one as good as Six Years is cause for jubilation." -- The Huffington Post "With Six Years , the author shows once more how it's done. . . . The beauty of Coben's craftsmanship here is how often he can lure us into not perceiving what's clearly right in front of our eyes." -- The Washington Post "A Harlan Coben Home Run. Stunningly effective. This is Coben's Vertigo , his masterpiece." -- Providence Sunday Journal on Six Years "Energetic and action-packed, this is one of those novels that has you flipping pages at warp speed." -- USA Today on Six Years "A tour de force stand-alone . . . satisfying on every level." -- Booklist (starred review) on Stay Close, Praise for  The Stranger "This page-turner is one stranger that readers will want to meet." -- Associated Press "Coben can always be relied on to generate thrills from the simplest premises, but his finest tales maintain a core of logic throughout the twists. This 100-proof nightmare ranks among his most potent." -- Kirkus , starred review "Coben's latest stand-alone is a great story for people who like to examine the ephemeral nature of those strings that bind our dreams to our reality." -- Library Journal ""The Stranger" isn't just a great thriller, it's a stunningly effective, probative novel about one man's search, essentially, for his own identity...Flat-out great and not to be missed." -- Providence Journal Praise for Harlan Coben and his novels "Coben is simply one of the all-time greats--pick up any one of his thrillers and you'll find a riveting, twisty, surprising story with a big, beating heart at its core."  --Gillian Flynn, bestselling author of Gone Girl "Once again, Coben has brilliantly used a current trend, in this case Internet dating, to create a can't-put-it-down thriller." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Missing You "Coben... has written another twisty ripped-from-the-headlines page-turning stand-alone that could be his best yet." -- Library Journal (starred review) on Missing You "Once again, Coben has expertly constructed and then dismantled a time bomb of a plot." --Booklist on Missing You " Missing You  is another winner in Coben's stack of winners." -- Huffington Post "This is a dive-in, lose-sleep and miss-your-bus-stop reading experience." -- Associated Press on Missing You "The narrative is immersive, and the well-drawn characters and twisting plotting are stellar.
