Stay Close

De: Harlan Coben

Narrado por: Scott Brick

Megan is a suburban soccer mom who walked on the wild side once upon a time. Now she’s got two kids, a perfect husband, a picket fence, and a growing sense of dissatisfaction. Ray used to be a talented documentary photographer, but at the age of 40 he finds himself in a dead-end job posing as a paparazzo, pandering to celebrity-obsessed rich kids. Broome is a detective who can’t let go of a cold case - a local husband and father who disappeared 17 years ago - and spends the anniversary every year visiting a house frozen in time, the missing man’s family still waiting, his slippers left by the recliner as if he might show up at any moment to step into them.

Three people living lives they never wanted, hiding secrets that even those closest to them would never suspect, will find that the past never truly fades away. Even as the terrible consequences of long-ago events crash together in the present and threaten to ruin lives, they will come to the startling realization that they may not want to forget the past at all. And as each confronts the dark side of the American dream - the boredom of a nice suburban life, the excitement of temptation, the desperation and hunger that can lurk behind even the prettiest façades - they will discover the hard truth that the line between one kind of life and another can be as whisper-thin as a heartbeat.

Master of domestic suspense Harlan Coben delivers his trademark combination of page-turning thrills and unrivaled insight into the dark shadows that creep into even the happiest communities.

Keeps you hooked!

Love Harlan Coben’s books! They are always so good! He has a way to keep you hooked all the way through!

Another good one!

I am new to Harlan Coben's books, but have enjoyed this older one. The performance was great!!

Intricate plot

Scott Brick is one of the best readers around. Harlan Coben is unlike many writers who have a standard plot and just change the people and location. His books are each unique and original.

A Real Page-turner

I really enjoyed the story. There were lots of twists that kept my attention. The only problem I had was with the reader. The story kept my attention, but the narration made it a little challenging. I liked his different emotions when he was reading the dialog of the characters, but if he could put that much feeling into the narration he would have made it more enjoyable. He was a bit too monotone in his reading.

I think I am addicted to Harlan Coben books

As usual I was not disappointed, the story was great with its twists and turns, i do believe I am becoming addicted to Harlan Coben books my husband agrees with that not necessarily with a smile on his face. And the narrator Scott Brick has a way to make the story even more , how should I put that , exciting, dramatic oh well he makes the perfect narrator . So yes I would recommend this book .
