By: Harlan Coben

Length: 10 hrs and 34 mins

Publisher's summary

Six years have passed since Jake Fisher watched Natalie, the love of his life, marry another man. Six years of hiding a broken heart by throwing himself into his career as a college professor. Six years of keeping his promise to leave Natalie alone, and six years of tortured dreams of her life with her new husband, Todd.

But six years haven’t come close to extinguishing his feelings, and when Jake comes across Todd’s obituary, he can’t keep himself away from the funeral. There he gets the glimpse of Todd’s wife he’s hoping for...but she is not Natalie. Whoever the mourning widow is, she’s been married to Todd for almost two decades, and with that fact, everything Jake thought he knew about the best time of his life - a time he has never gotten over - is turned completely inside out.

As Jake searches for the truth, his picture-perfect memories of Natalie begin to unravel. Mutual friends of the couple either can’t be found or don’t remember Jake. No one has seen Natalie in years. Jake’s search for the woman who broke his heart, who lied to him, soon puts his very life at risk as it dawns on him that the man he has become may be based on a carefully constructed fiction.

Harlan Coben once again delivers a shocking novel that deftly explores the power of past love and the secrets and lies that such love can hide.

Mushy love head

Jake had mush head. Whoever heard of a guy his size, an academic, who could fight that well? Because he was a bouncer in college, don't think so. Love Scott Brick though!

Addictive

What did you love best about Six Years?

From the first paragraph I literally could not put this down. I listened to it driving, working, relaxing. What an awesome book!

What does Scott Brick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I loved the narrator. Pleasing voice, just enough inflection without overdoing it.

Harlan does it again!

Harlan has a way of making you feel like part of the story. you feel like you could jump in and tell the characters what to do or better yet, not do. The twists and turns were very Cobenesque.
you will love it.

another winner

Harlan always Knocks it out if the park. always a winner and know my time and money won't be wasted

Narration. Is. Just. So. Very. Dramatic

Harlan Coben books are always good. This one perhaps not as good as others. But I just can’t take Scoot Brick as narrator. He has a wonderful voice. If he would just relax and read he would be great. But oh the drama! Gets old and irritating.

Great book!

I picked this up on sale and didn't know whether or not I could get into the story. I was afraid it was going to be a sappy love story that has just been regurgitated over and over or another Gone Girl type of story. This book did not disappoint! The mystery aspect of it was great as well, not very predictable at all and it all came together at the end. Would definitely recommend.

OK

the narrator's tone was a little over the top and on the dramatic side even when the story didn't match up with that tone. ok storyline.

I lived the story

A book is good when you miss the character(s) when you finish the book.

Intriguing

I was very intrigued by the story that it kept me in suspension all the time.

Disappointing

After Safe, Runaway and the Woods, this was a real disappointment.

The story is just too convoluted, unnecessarily complicated and, quite frankly, unbelievable.

Not a fan of the reader either, way too dramatic for my liking.
