Summary
The Stranger appears out of nowhere, perhaps in a bar or a parking lot or at the grocery store. His identity is unknown. His motives are unclear. His information is undeniable. Then he whispers a few words in your ear and disappears, leaving you picking up the pieces of your shattered world.
Adam Price has a lot to lose: a comfortable marriage to a beautiful woman, two wonderful sons, and all the trappings of the American dream - a big house, a good job, a seemingly perfect life.
Then he runs into the Stranger. When he learns a devastating secret about his wife, Corrine, he confronts her, and the mirage of perfection disappears as if it never existed at all. Soon Adam finds himself tangled in something far darker than even Corrine's deception and realises that if he doesn't make exactly the right moves, the conspiracy he's stumbled into will not only ruin lives - it will end them.

what a tangled web we weave.
what a tangled web we weave. When first we practise to deceive!
This is first of all a thriller, that inhabits a very contemporary world, where hackers, apps, cell phones, and computers link all the old human evils,secrets and misdemeanour's for evermore, for everyone that likes to snoop. Welcome to binary hell, welcome to little brothers new terrain.
The story moves fast and relentlessly that is part of the device to make everything hang together. The minutia of daily life is well written and american suburbia, the american dream is as tarnished as a very old coin, the middle class is struggling to keep it together, and so are families, so when someone whispers a secret all kind of weakness appear in the everyday reality of our hero and others and something has got to give.
Entertaining and eloquent, surprisingly thoughtful of the disillusionments of the middle classes of america and jet very much a tale of families trying their best in adversity and complacency.
The narrator was excellent.

Good plot right to the end
I really enjoyed this story. It had pace but also descriptive enough to build a complete picture Also very well narrated
Second Harlan Coben novel and not disappointed, on to the next

Nasty tale of deception
This is my first book by Coventry and I'm not disappointed. An entirely plausible tale of deception: enough to make you question the apparent sterility of the American dream. If you want happy endings or thread tidying, this book is not for you. Gripping and entertaining.

A Gripping Novel
This was my first Audible book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have been wanting to read something by this Author for a long time and am now glad I've had the opportunity.
The storyline keeps the reader guessing right until the end and although I had my doubts at first, I thought the Narrator was excellent. I will certainly be looking to find more books written by this Author and books narrated by Eric Meyers.

The Stranger - not a bad read
The Stranger - not a bad read, unusual storyline that kept me guessing
Narrator was ok but could have done with a bit more oomph in certain parts of book.

Harlan Coben's best yet.
Everything you could hope for in Coben book. Full of twists and turns and extremely well read. For me, this is his best yet.

disappointed
Disappointed with this story it has the makings of a great story but fell very flat, less characters would have given this story more direction
