The Match

Wilde, Book 2

De: Harlan Coben

Narrado por: Steven Weber

One of AudioFile Magazine's Best Audiobooks of 2022

From the creator of the #1 hit Netflix series Stay Close comes a gripping thriller in which Wilde follows a tip that may finally reveal the truth behind his abandonment—only to end up in the sights of a ruthless killer.

After months away, Wilde has returned to the Ramapo Mountains in the wake of a failed bid at domesticity that confirms what he’s known all along: He belongs on his own, free from the comforts and constraints of modern life.

Suddenly, a DNA match on an online ancestry database brings Wilde closer to his past than he’s ever dreamed, and finally gives Wilde the opening he needs to track down his father. But meeting the man brings up more questions than answers. So Wilde reaches out to his last, most desperate lead, a second cousin who disappears as quickly as he resurfaces, having experienced an epic fall from grace that can only be described as a waking nightmare.

Was his cousin’s downfall a long time coming? Or was he the victim of a conspiracy as cunning as it is complex? And how does it all connect to the man once known as The Stranger, a treacherous fugitive with a growing following whose mission and methods have only turned more dangerous with time?

Reseñas de la Crítica

“This audiobook is an edge-of-your-seat gripper. …narrator Steven Weber is a wizard at making [the team] vivid to you with regional accents, attitude, and verve.… It's very skillful, very high-octane fun.”—AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award Winner

“The topical follow-up to Coben’s best-selling The Boy from the Woods addresses reality shows, DNA searches, cyberbullying, and social media influencers in a suspenseful novel guaranteed to be a hit.”―Library Journal (Starred Review)

“Harlan Coben's puzzle-box mysteries have inspired numerous Netflix series, and his latest book, The Match, seems poised to follow suit.”―Popsugar

Nice continuation of the story of Wild.

The story was a nice continuation of the previous story, although there was a time in the beginning that it didn't keep my attention. I'm looking forward to the 3rd book.

Way to ruin a good story

OMG, please narrator, or editor, or whoever is responsible...stop taking gasping audible breaths before each sentence. I am surprised as Weber's narrations are typically spot on. What happened. It's killing me.

Good story

Good story, kept my interest and attention but falls apart at the end. Maybe in anticipation for another book in the series, but not tight enough of an ending for a good mystery.

Loved the series

Great sequel! It’s hard to find books where I can’t consistently tell what will happen next. I think the ending of the book felt a bit rushed. But still a great book and I hope a third will be coming out, then I could forgive the rushed ending.

Watch Out for DNA

very interesting story, like Disney's Jungle book. brings new meaning to finding your ancestors.
