Product Description |
For Dr. David Beck, the loss was shattering. And every day for the past eight years, he has relived the horror of what happened. The gleaming lake. The pale moonlight. The piercing screams. The night his wife was taken. The last night he saw her alive.
Everyone tells him it’s time to move on, to forget the past once and for all. But for David Beck, there can be no closure. A message has appeared on his computer, a phrase only he and his dead wife know. Suddenly Beck is taunted with the impossible–that somewhere, somehow, Elizabeth is alive.
Beck has been warned to tell no one. And he doesn’t. Instead, he runs from the people he trusts the most, plunging headlong into a search for the shadowy figure whose messages hold out a desperate hope.
But already Beck is being hunted down. He’s headed straight into the heart of a dark and deadly secret–and someone intends to stop him before he gets there. |

David Beck has rebuilt his life since his wife's murder eight years ago, finishing medical school and establishing himself as a pediatrician, but he's never forgotten the woman he fell in love with in second grade. And when a mysterious e-mail arrives on the anniversary of their first kiss, with a message and an image that leads him to wonder whether Elizabeth might still be alive, Beck will stop at nothing to find the truth that's eluded him for so many years. A powerful billionaire is equally determined to make sure his role in her disappearance never comes to light, even if it means destroying an innocent man. In David Beck, Harlan Coben, the author of the popular series starring sports agent Myron Bolitar (Darkest Fear et al.) has created a protagonist who shares many of Bolitar's best qualities--he's a decent, generous, gentle guy whose loyalty to those he loves is unquestionable. So when he discovers that people he was close to may be responsible not only for Elizabeth's murder but also the "accidental" death of his father, Beck's sense of betrayal is as understandable to the reader as his uncharacteristically violent reaction. Coben is a skillful storyteller with a gift for creating likable characters caught up in circumstances that illuminate their complex emotional lives and deep humanity. This should be the thriller that breaks this talented writer out of the mystery genre and earns him the recognition he deserves. --Jane Adams |

Tell No One is Super-Charged Reading |
Harlan Coben's great talent is presenting an unusual premise to the reader and then hurtling him into a maze of fast paced plot twists. However, unlike many other mystery writers, Coben shows us the human side of the plot devices. His characters suffer and we empathize with their misery. In Tell No One, a young doctor loses his beautiful wife to a crazed killer. Or does he? Eight years after that fateful night, he receives a cryptic message that could only have come from his wife. Determined to know the truth, he soon realizes that other forces want to stop him, at any cost. A great beach read, Tell No One has enough energy to keep you reading long after the lifeguards have gone home.

This was my first Coben book, and now I am hooked. Tell No One is like a crazy roller coaster with dips and twists and highs and lows. When I started the book I had no idea that it had been made into a movie, but the whole time I was reading it I was thinking 'someone should make this into a movie'. If you enjoy suspenseful, Morgan Freeman/Ashley Judd like stories then read this book. |

Almost too-fast paced |
I just saw the movie and the title was bugging me because I couldn't remember where I saw it and then the movie began and I knew I had read the book (just couldn't remember it was Harlan Coben). My head hurt from the plot twists.
I just read the book a few months and several books ago and remember racing through it. However, I raced through it so fast i couldn't remember how faithful the movie was to the book. Now I have to reread it again. After decades of my first reading of the very complicated Bleak House, I could still remember the story and ending but I could not do that with this book a few months later.
If you read it, take your time with it or you'll forget it as fast as you read it. I came away not particularly wanting to go on to other Coben books. |
