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.

it is one of my favorite that i have listened to in a while. the story was fantastic and keep me wanting more.

Which scene was your favorite?

the final scene was my favorite

Any additional comments?

I love a good mystery. I thought that i had solved it early on in the story and was totally wrong towards the end. really keep me guessing the whole time. held my interest. I would strongly recommend this book

not too bad

this book had its ups and downs but overall a good listen. I'm not usually a fan of Scott brick but this performance wasn't bad.

Not his best

I usually enjoy Harlin Coban. buy this one I struggled listening to the end. Scott Brick was great, as always, but I found found the story repetitious and boring. The prelude gives the ending which is easy to figure out in the first few chapters .

Six years

I read a lot of Harlan Coben and this wasn’t one of his best. I enjoyed it enough to want to finish. I didn’t find the character build, plot and story line to be terribly engaging, as are so many of his other books. It was just ‘ok’.

Pulled me in and had to find out what happened

Lots of things I didn’t expect. This book kept me wondering all the way through to the very end.

Loved this story!

I’m listened to Coben books I didn’t care for but blamed the performance. But this one is an excellent story and performance!

Action packed thriller

This was a great, fast paced novel that kept me interested, excited as I tried to solve the mystery.

The story was so twisted, you never knew why

I loved this story, loved how many twists it came with and how you never knew why. Loved the ending!

Great Read - Super Suspensful

Would you consider the audio edition of Six Years to be better than the print version?

I'm not a big Harlan Coben fan and I don't often write reviews, but I LOVED this book! Extremely suspenseful with lots of twists and twists on twists. Book had me from page one.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes!

Another novel ruined by Brick

What did you like best about Six Years? What did you like least?

It kept me interested all the way to the end. Unfortunately, it was ruined by Scott Brick's signature method of reading.

Would you be willing to try another one of Scott Brick’s performances?

I ONLY EVER buy a book read by Scott Brick if it's on sale. I just don't get why he used on so many books when there is such a large body of readers who detest his style.

Did Six Years inspire you to do anything?

Yeah. Never buy another Brick-ruined book.
