received at the 2006 Toronto Convention. Thanks. The convention was fantastic and loads of fun

I'm reading this now!

Will Klein's family was left in shambles when his older brother Ken was suspected of murdering Will's high school love, and then disappearing. The family suspects that Ken was actually murdered as well and had nothing to do with Julie's murder. It's been 12 years since Will saw Ken, when his mother becomes sick and on her death bed tells Will that Ken is still alive.

Will starts trying to find where his brother is when his girlfriend suddenly leaves and the FBI visits asking about her. Her fingerprints were found at a double murder in New Mexico. With this help of his friend Squares, Will digs deep into his brother's past to determine what has happened and why he left all those years ago.

This book was full of suspense and made for quite a page turner. It involves mafia, murder, FBI, and cover ups. There were so twists at the end that I sort of saw coming. I do find Coben's writing pretty choppy though. He writes in very short sentences which makes the writing come off almost amateurish despite the fact that the plot lines are intricate and complicated.

Will Klein's older brother Ken was suspected of killing his girlfriend and then disappearing 12 years ago. His family always believed that he was murdered also.

When Will's mother on her deathbed reveals that Ken is still alive, Will starts to delve into what really happened. He starts investigating Ken and all of Ken's high school gang at the time. Then Will's girlfriend disappears and the FBI come calling, telling him that her fingerprints are at the scene of a double murder in Santa Fe. That is when things keep on getting more 'darker' and more macabre.

This is one of the books with the most twists I have ever read. As suggested by the previous reviewer the writing is choppy but so consistent with my own curt style that it just seemed to fit this mystery.

mailed to my Boxing Day partner last Tuesday :) Enjoy!!

Thanks so much for including a book by this author. I have enjoyed some of his previous books so I'm sure I will like this one as well.

Summer vacation and Harlan Coben. This combo is hard to beat. I really liked this book as there was something new happening just about every page. Of course I stayed up way too late reading it, but then what are summer vacations for anyway!!
