Reseñas de la Crítica

Coben's accomplished plotting shows why he tops the bestseller lists, and his supporting characters are as memorable as ever.

"Coben draws the disparate plot strands together with masterly authority."

The absolute master of tense and punchy has pulled off another tightly-plotted treat for crime fans... Superb stuff.

"A truly nerve-shredding thriller."

Genius American crime writer Coben has a knack of writing mysteries that are emotionally engaging as well as taut and suspenseful, and this is perhaps his most deeply felt effort yet, with a witty, smart woman at its centre.

"King of twisty thrillers Harlan Coben returns with another good 'un... Packed with atmosphere and shock twists, this is worth turning off your phone for!"

This book held me spellbound. It is superbly paced, it has believable, credible characters, it is, in short, a brilliant story, told by a writer who is at the very top of his game. And now I have to go and try to catch up on all the damn work I failed to get on with because of this book! If you see this book, buy it and read it. (Michael Jecks)

"[A] gripping thriller."

This fast-moving novel grabs attention from the opening page and does not let go until the final surprise. Gripping, suspenseful and occasionally poignant, this is a great read.

"The sheer brio of Coben's narrative plate-spinning gives it all an entertaining chutzpah."

"A master of the multiple twist. Just as it seems an explanation is within reach, the reader is hammered with another, even more shocking surprise." (Marcel Berlins)

Coben orchestrates his story perfectly as Kat begins to sense the magnitude of the horror at work ... Once again, he has brilliantly used a current trend, in this case internet dating, to create a can't-put-it-down thriller

The best-selling master of suspense has written another twisty ripped-from-the-headlines page-turning stand-alone that could be his best yet

Top Notch Coben at his best!

Missing You” is a gritty cop story. At its center is Kat Donovan a New York City police officer who loves her job but Kat is not just fighting criminals but her own personal demons. She can’t let things go which can be a curse in her private life though such tenaciousness is often a blessing in her professional life…or sometimes vice versa. She’s still nursing a broken heart from a past love and is also haunted by her dad’s, another New York cop, murder. She wants to know the truth. When she joins an online dating site in hopes of finding true love she gets more than she expects. She doesn’t find love but a lead in a new case.

Coben writes a great thriller from beginning to end. He keeps you engaged and wracking your brain for theories and solutions right along with Kat, he engages the reader’s emotions as well. He also provides a knock out ending.

“Missing You” is well written, has fully fleshed out characters with a stylish and current plot and a great sense of place and time. A winner.

Quite bad

Great performance, as always, by Richard Armitage. That's pretty much the only positive of this book. The plot is weak. Story is dragging, bordering on boring, disjointed and all over the place, with lots of random characters with implausible motivations and actions - feels more like he tried to fill in the pages as the "main story" was so flimsy. The characters are probably the weakest point - either unlikable or uninteresting. I will skip the tv show as well as a result, I doubt they could have improved much on such a source material.
