Coben’s USP is how families are torn apart by secrets. He is a clever plotter, too, always pulling the rug from under your feet.

Coben is like a skilled magician saving the best, most stunning trick for the very end.

Coben can always be relied on to generate thrills from the simplest premises

Dramatic and tightly plotted.

Harlan Coben is a master at weaving compelling thrillers, but even by his high standards, The Boy From the Woods sounds like a haunting ride.

Harlan Coben rose to worldwide attention recently for his hit Netflix show The Stranger. Many of you would have already been familiar with his work prior to this. Harlan Coben’s back catalogue is very impressive. We’ve read pretty much every Harlan Coben novel and let us tell you, he never lets you down. If you’re looking for a meaty thriller which is equal parts surprising and well-written, look no further.

From the bestselling author and creator of the hit Netflix drama The Stranger, Harlan Coben, The Boy from The Woods tells the story of Wilde, found thirty years ago in the New Jersey backwoods.

Coben's character creation is superb. Both Wilde and Hester are a joy to discover and each one of the supporting cast are equally well crafted […]The Boy From The Woods is a fabulous read, I devoured it. It's pacy and thrilling, filled with fabulous characters and a plot that is unrelenting. I now know just why Coben is at the top of his field. Highly recommended from me.

Twisty, packed with mystery and intrigue […] Now is the perfect time to read for escapism

Coben is the best-selling author behind the utterly compelling Netflix drama The Stranger, and his latest offering is equally potent […] A gloriously grisly page-turner with some excellent chicanes and twists.

This is another page turner from Coben who every time manages to pull the cat out of the bag and deliver an ending that isn't expected. Sublime.

Coben paints a rich, multi-layered picture of suburban life […] The story is involving, contemporary and Coben expertly peels back the layers with consummate skill to reveal an intricate and twisted tale that’s well worth the read[…] I highly recommend this terrifically unusual and well-paced thriller.
