I agree with Coben on this one - don't read this as your introduction to his writing, but definitely read. Although I did figure out whodunit before it was revealed, I enjoyed this sophomore effort and found it hard to put down (wish I could say the same for his first novel, Play Dead, which was awful). I first discovered Coben with Tell No One, which is still far and away my favorite of his novels, and I am a dedicated fan of his work.
