A Good Early Days Book

Good book but did struggle to finish it! Harlen Cohen's is indeed a good story teller and this was a good story. I didn't appreciate the sex that seemed to have been put in because the author thought it would sell, a young author's attempt to people please. I read every Harlen Coben book and appreciate each one to date. True to HC's style it was hard to decipher till the end who the killer was, the plot was intricate but took forever to unravel itself. HC has come a good way since. Good narrator - enjoyed the Australian accent, but did not like the Women's voices, sounded like some sleazy guy mimicking a woman, the romantic and sensual tones were sad funny.

Great story well performed

Great story well performed. Never a dull moment. Really recommend! There was always another twist waiting all the way to the end.

Really good listen

I like to be surprised. This story kept me interested till the very end. Give it a try!

Loved it!!

I really enjoyed this story. The narrator is one of my favorites. Very enjoyable and makes you want to keep playing to find out the next twist

Barely believeable plot.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Not really

Would you be willing to try another book from Harlan Coben? Why or why not?

Yes, he has written some fairly good books.

Which character – as performed by Scott Brick – was your favorite?

No one in particular. I always see Scott brick as a tremendous asset to sell ANY audiobook.

Was Play Dead worth the listening time?

Probably not, but I listen to audiobooks purely for recreation, so that time is not too valuable.

Any additional comments?

End of story was apparent almost from the first hour or so, as I have cobean to have a serious fault with.

Entertaining

I liked this book much better than the other two HC books I've read. I also liked knowing this was his first. Lots of twists and turns. Great imagination. Worth the credit.

Amazing!!!

I bought this book because of Scott Brick. He brings stories alive. I love him. But, this book would of been a 5* without him I thought I knew where the book was headed and, bam! A new twist. Get the book u won't be disappointed

Wonderful story

Coben was and still is a gifted story teller. I have become addicted and looking forward to more.

amazing

i started listening to the Myron series then i went back to the start. This book has all the twists that i love! you wont expect the ending at all!

Very Good!

Thought this was very good. Once I started could not put down. I thought I had it figured out early on, but could not figure out how it all fit together. I didn't fully put it together until allmost the end. This was the authors first book, don't know why he was so hard on it. I thought it every bit as good as some of his later works. Read it in 2 days, very quick read.
