Harlan Coben has a talent, which very other authors have. And that talent is to create a story so brilliant that you can never stop reading until the end. Stay Close follows the same lead. All through the story, there is an indication of a certain killer, in the last few pages, Coben brings one smoke screen killer and then drum rolls into the original killer, who turns out to be a completely unsuspected character.
The story line has no flaw at all. The characters are totally believable and made to be as much humane as any of us. Since it is a mystery, you cannot read it over and over again, but as soon as I forget what the mystery was, I plan to re-visit this story once again some time in future, just for the kick.
Yet another brilliant book by this brilliant author. A must recommendation for all mystery lovers.
