Nobody's Fool

De: Harlan Coben

Narrado por: Vikas Adam

In this stunningly twisty thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Harlan Coben, a secret from former Detective Sami Kierce's college days comes back to haunt him. His memory is clear, but all these years later, the facts don’t add up…which is something he cannot ignore.

Sami Kierce, a young college grad backpacking in Spain with friends, wakes up one morning, covered in blood. There’s a knife in his hand. Beside him, the body of his girlfriend. Anna. Dead. He doesn’t know what happened. His screams drown out his thoughts—and then he runs.

Twenty-two years later, Kierce, now a private investigator, is a new father who’s working off his debts by doing low level surveillance jobs and teaching wannabe sleuths at a night school in New York City. One evening, he recognizes a familiar face at the back of the classroom. Anna. It’s unmistakably her. As soon as Kierce makes eye contact with her, she bolts. For Kierce there is no choice. He knows he must find this woman and solve the impossible mystery that has haunted his every waking moment since that terrible day.

His investigation will bring him face-to-face with his past—and prove, after all this time, he’s nobody’s fool.

Had to return.

the over dramatic reading was very distracting. Extremely hard to follow. I felt like I was watching an old Mike Hammer type movie.
I love Harlan Coben so I'll just read this one.

So Good

Really like this new book by HC. Lots of great writing, humor, sarcasm & wit, characters easy to connect to. The premise for the book revolves around a flawed ex cop that so many still like and admire. The past and the present flowed easily as needed rather than chapter by chapter. Overall the story and subplots were intriguing and discovering the truth was intense and unexpected.

Narration was good. Characters had their own distinct voices, except some of the female students were a bit off which was distracting.

Twists and turns until the end!

This book had me guessing until the very end! Harlan is one of my favorite authors, and this book did not disappoint!

always a twist with Coben

Halern coben books are always engaging, This one was enjoyable. interesting story..it kept me turning pages

Outstanding

SO very interesting. Plot kept changing. Very engaging. Great characters. Also narrator was very good.

Loved it!!

Kept me guessing and didn’t see the end coming. Very well written but also the performance was great. The epilogue was the perfect end.

perfect

Nobody plots as tightly or as well as Coben. perfect balance of story, plot, mystery, and drama. nothing overwhelms the other.

Complex Story

Some might say this is a story of many twists and turns. I’d say it was a story of surprise as the story unfolded.

Good story, Terrible Narration

The story was great aside from it being somewhat predictable. I was disappointed when I saw Vikas Adam was the narrator. Adam’s performance takes focus away from the story and I nearly returned the book.

Sooo Good!

I need the next one NOW. Not to mention the narrator — he has a Jensen Akles sound and I could listen to him read a phone book. This is how all audiobooks should be!
