The Match: From the #1 bestselling creator of the hit Netflix series Missing You

I've finally got my hands on a Harlan Coben before it becomes a hit series! I haven't read the first book in this series, which I plan to rectify tout suite, but I don't think it hampered me in any way from enjoying the Wilde ride! Wilde has been satisfied with his lot for most of his life. He may have been found abandoned in the woods, unaware of who he was or how long he had been alone but he managed to find his way. He became more than the feral boy, Tarzan Boy. But when he finally decides to seek out his family - using an online DNA ancestry site, he unleashes a world of problems. He may have found a parent but he also seems to have unlocked a bevy of deep, well-hidden secrets. I loved the relationship between Wilde and Hester, it was almost parental-child. But more intriguing is the relationships he has with his late friend's wife and college-aged son. He was so busy trying to keep secrets, not rock the boat and allow everyone their space that he never noticed that Hester and Matthew were well aware of what was actually going on LOL. There were plenty of twists/turns and red herrings. My day job really should have helped me decipher who was the "bad guy" earlier than I did. (I do work in law enforcement) although not an officer - that's my defence and I'm sticking with it!) I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher and I have left this honest review voluntarily

After having read The Boy From The Woods, I thought this one would be a great follow up with Wilde's thrilling story. Well, it wasn't thrilling to me and the main plot wasn't my kind of thing either. I had high hopes after The Boy From The Woods, my bad. Well, it wasn't terrible. It was just not good enough for H.Coben.

A story line that kept me guessing until the end, absolute page turner. I don't know how he continues to write such original plot lines that keep you wondering the end point. loved it.
