This is his best book yet, Harlan Coben always has a good tale to tell, and he knows how to present it with elegance, pace and loads of tension, Harlan Coben has made his intentions clear: he wants to fool his readers. And he makes a good job of doing so in The Innocent . . . The enjoyably intricate plot takes several turns before we are fooled for the last time and the villains and motive are revealed. A book to read in one gulp, For years, readers of American crime thrillers have been rating Harlan Coben as one of the most sheerly entertaining and accomplished writers in the genre . . . The Innocent has everything that Coben admirers turn to his books for. For a start, there's the tortuous narrative that springs a non-stop series of surprises on the reader.
