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.

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

The Stranger
Harlan Coben's stories are usually tip top but this one seemed to take far too long to get to the nitty gritty. It is good but not great.

great and very gripping
I struggled to put my phone down with this book. Maybe a few too many characters. it made it a little hard to follow at times but the twists and turns were gripping. Great story.

Coben's always a winner!
Would you consider the audio edition of The Stranger to be better than the print version?
That's a silly question! I clearly haven't read the print one so I can't compare. I personally like listening to Coben's books, they are pacey and gripping so I'm sure it would be a good print read too.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Stranger?
The twist and turns of Adam's hunt for his wife.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
The scene in the basement.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
The Consequences of Secrets and Revelations!

Complicated
Complicated story line, far fetched, needed to pay attention to understand what was going on, didn’t find that the narrator helped.

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.

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.
