Publisher's summary

When tragedy strikes close to home, Mickey Bolitar and his loyal new friends - sharp-witted Ema and the adorkably charming Spoon - find themselves at the center of a murder mystery involving their friend Rachel. Now, not only does Mickey have to continue his quest to uncover the truth about the Abeona Shelter and the Butcher of Lodz, he needs to figure out what happened to Rachel - no matter what it takes.

Mickey has always been ready to sacrifice everything to help the people he loves. But how can he protect them when he’s not even sure who - or what - he’s protecting them from?

Hardy Boys?

It feels like a modernized Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew series. After the first book I was hoping for more. I doubt that I will continue with it.

Better and better

So Mickey*s life seems to be moving forward with some good relationship s . I am glad to see some complexity to his story and not just angst and teenage drama. The plot is more than a bit of a stretch, but it has value in it's reflections on good vs evil and truth vs lies. Great job! Keep it coming!

Seconds Away

Any additional comments?

The story is great, appropriate for teenagers. The narrater was good, and the plot is not as complicated as his adult novels,, but was still entertaining. Also loved how Myron is back in the game and how Coben eludes to even Win, though not directly by name of course.

The characters were also well written and well developed.

i would recommend Coben's adult books more, but if you want a book to pass time and not be confronted by too serious a plot, as with his other books, this would be great.
