Amazon.co.uk Review
Elizabeth was taken from David one night, tortured, killed and abandoned by the serial murderer known as KillRoy; he was left for dead. Eight years later, he gets an e-mail which leads him to a camera feed, and sees her standing on a street corner looking at him. And suddenly he is on the run, accused of her murder and of others, dependent on the whim of a violent pusher whose child's life he saved. Harlan Coben's new thriller Tell No One is a terrifying kinetic novel of abuse of power, false accusation and the things that go wrong with the most careful of schemes. David Beck is a memorable character--a dedicated doctor whose mourning for his wife has gradually become itself a sort of paralysis, but who has a surprising resilience under stress; he has not got much going for him in the terrible situations in which he finds himself, but he makes ingenious use of what he has got. This is an intelligent thriller in which we get to watch suspect, police and some very unpleasant heavies chase each other around in impressively convoluted circles. Coben is one of the best multiple-bluffers in the business. --Roz Kaveney

Terrific! March 29, 2008
A man receives an email from his wife who was kidnapped and murdered eight years previously, I just couldn't resist and had to read this one.

My first book by this author and certainly won't be my last, plenty of twists and turns and kept me enthralled right to the end.

Highly recommended reading!

A DIFFICULT ONE.. March 18, 2008
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE BOOKS YOU HAVE TO READ AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF. WHILST YOU DO WANT TO KNOW THE OUTCOME, YOU CAN`T HELP THINKING AT TIMES `OH GET ON WITH IT !`
RATHER UNREALISTIC AT CERTAIN POINTS, AND TOO MUCH DETAIL AT OTHERS - LIKE HOW A PC WORKS - ( I THINK WE ALL KNOW THAT..... ) AND THE ENDING RATHER PREDICTABLE.
ALL IN ALL NOT BAD, BUT YOU CAN SKIP SEVERAL PAGES HERE AND THERE AND NOT MISS A THING..

Another good read from Harlan Coben March 6, 2008
Another solidly entertaining thriller from Coben. Good characterisation, enough twists to keep you guessing and a powerful sense of disorientation as the action plays out through the eyes of the main character David. He doesn't know whether his wife is back from the dead, has no idea why she might have lied to let him think she had been killed, and is afraid he is the victim of a cruel hoax. The book also has a good cast of supporting characters, from the sexy Shauna and feisty lawyer to the terrifyingly brutal Eric Wu. You won't want to put it down

"Tell Everyone" about this book! February 27, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Harlan Coben (Gone for good) delivers a fantastic mystery thriller which focuses upon David Beck, a paediatrician who eight years ago, lost his wife in a mysterious murder case by the family lake. Now, David receives an anonymous e-mail which makes him believe that Elizabeth may still be alive. But as the scenario digs deeper, David finds himself caught in trouble and is soon on the run as the case stars to unravel.

This was the first Harlan Coben book I read and must say it was sensational. Page after page delivered more suspense and mystery to the plot to keep my interest high.

The plot involves many characters, which keep the intensity high, justifying the thriller genre as they all link in creating a tense plot.

Coben's style is very sophisticated, narrowing his attention on the character's personalities and all character's are believable because of the great writing.

Edge of your seat thriller; tell no one delivers an amazing story of love, betrayal and mystery.

A few cliches are thrown in but regardless it is a gripping novel that is definitely worth reading

Dr. David Beck's wife was murdered by a serial killer, and he was beaten and left for dead, on the shores of Lake Charmaine, a place the husband and wife visit, every year, on the anniversary of when they first met.

Eight years later, and Beck is still trying to come to terms with the loss of his wife. He receives a mysterious email, which turns his world upside down once again, as it seems to strongly suggest that his wife is not dead after all.

I found this book an enjoyable read, as Beck discovers one clue, and then another, in the bid to find out what exactly happened to his wife, eight years earlier, on that fateful night. The twists come thick and fast towards the ending, which, I thought could have possible been a bit better.
