So says Will Klein, whose search for his missing and allegedly murderous brother, Ken, leaves him doubting the actions of everybody he's ever loved. Eleven years ago, Ken fled his family's suburban New Jersey neighborhood after Will's ex-girlfriend, Julie Miller, was raped and strangled. The Kleins eventually convinced themselves that Ken perished on the lam. But as Will discovers, the facts are not so simple. On her deathbed, his mother tells him that Ken is still alive. Then Will's girlfriend and "soul mate" disappears too, only to have her fingerprints turn up at a New Mexico homicide scene. How are these tragedies connected? And what's their relationship to the recent appearance of a contract killer known as the Ghost? With help from an abused ex-hooker, a former white supremacist turned yoga guru, and Julie's younger sister, Will finds himself in a tightly twisted plot that turns on double identities and misplaced trust and that forces him to dig for the courage he was always sure he lacked. Although the premise sounds much like that of Harlan Coben's last book, the acclaimed Tell No One, and the books' ingenuous protagonists are nearly interchangeable, Gone for Good quickly establishes its separate but equally suspenseful identity. This is a tale of manifold deceptions guaranteed to show its readers up as suckers, and to make them love every moment of the experience. --J. Kingston Pierce Product Description: As a boy, Will Klein had a hero: his older brother, Ken. Then, on a warm suburban night in the Kleins’ affluent New Jersey neighborhood, a young woman—a girl Will had once loved—was found brutally murdered in her family’s basement. The prime suspect: Ken Klein. With the evidence against him overwhelming, Ken simply vanished. And when his shattered family never heard from Ken again, they were sure he was gone for good. Now eleven years have passed. Will has found proof that Ken is alive. And this is just the first in a series of stunning revelations as Will is forced to confront startling truths about his brother, and even himself. As a violent mystery unwinds around him, Will knows he must press his search all the way to the end. Because the most powerful surprises are yet to come. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Amazing Plot TwistsThis book is absolutely fantastic. Harlan Coben has a great writing style and this novel filled with twists right up to the very last page. This is the first of Coben's novels that I've read but it looks like they all have solid reviews. I'm definately a fan and plan to read all of his novels. Rating: - Wow!I really enjoyed this book. It is a lot better than his other series on the sports agent. Very interesting ending. I listened to it on CD. Rating: - Wow, even better than Tell No OneI didn't think that Coben would be able to top his work from Tell No One, but he did. The plot in this one was even more complex and you had just as much invested in the main character. You really felt like you got to know Will and the pain he went through. Coben used a very similar formula in this book as he did in Tell No One and The Innocent, but it's a great one. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it is certainly one of the most engrossing and thrilling books I have ever read. Well done ... Read More Rating:  - Book version of a lifetime movie"GFG" is a fast paced novel with lots of twist and turns that keep going til the end of the book, perhaps a few too many of them than what was necessary to keep this one interesting. Its not a terrible novel, but with what i believe to be the wimpiest main character ive ever read in a book, it just reminded me of those really lame lifetime movies on the cable networks. For awhile there I kept thinking the main guy was a woman, for the over the top sensibilities and just plain wussiness that just ...

Family dynamics are intertwined with a great mystery as only Coben can write. Chock full of all of the elements that make for a great mystery and thriller - diabolical bad guys, a labyrinth of a story, romance, hate, and surprises - this is a must read. Ken's brother Will finds himself ... Read More |
