Amazon Editorial Review:
#1 bestselling author Harlan Coben asks that provocative and terrifying question with his fifteenth thriller. How much do parents really want to know about their kids?
#1 bestselling author Harlan Coben asks that provocative and terrifying question with his fifteenth thriller.
#1 bestselling author Harlan Coben has become an unstoppable force in suspense fiction. His most recent novel, The Woods, spent more time on the New York Times bestseller list than his previous books and sales reached his highest levels to date. His latest page-turner, which is about just how far parents will go to protect their kids, is destined for the top of every bestseller list.
Tia and Mike Baye never imagined they’d become the type of overprotective parents who spy on their kids. But their sixteen-year-old son Adam has been unusually distant lately, and after the suicide of his classmate Spencer Hill—the latest in a string of issues at school—they can’t help but worry. They install a sophisticated spy program on Adam’s computer, and within days are jolted by a message from an unknown correspondent addressed to their son: “Just stay quiet and all safe.”
Meanwhile, browsing through an online memorial for Spencer put together by his classmates, Betsy Hill is struck by a photo that appears to have been taken on the night of her son’s death . . . and he wasn’t alone. She thinks it is Adam Baye standing just outside the camera’s range; but when Adam goes missing, it soon becomes clear that something deep and sinister has infected their community. For Tia and Mike Baye, the question they must answer is this: When it comes to your kids, is it possible to know too much?

the other day I got done reading this book, with me having surgery post pone christmas until Jan3rd, plus other problems with family..finally getting into journal the book
The story was really good, being a mother of three young men I can see how a parent would feel now a days to spy on their chlidren to see what they are doing. But also privacy for a teen is also very imporant too.
adam is 16 their parents are wooried since adam's friend has committed sucided, they have noticed adam is just not himself anymore. His parents decided to set up a spy web site to see who he is chatting with on line, etc. When his parents find out about an email about a party that adam is going to, how does a parent make their teen stay home without letting him know they read his email? Great story fast pace book. Going to a bookcrosser, or friend

I found this copy sitting in a stack in my bedroom today. Funny timing, as I had read a different copy earlier this year -- and hated it. Wound up DNFing it, in fact. The plot was contrived, the writing was poor... it was just awful. Looking over the GoodReads reviews for it, it seems a lot of people agree.
