Fool Me Once

By: Harlan Coben

Narrated by: January LaVoy

A widowed veteran gets the shock of her life in this impossible-to-put-down thriller from the bestselling author and creator of the hit Netflix drama The Stranger.

In the course of eight consecutive #1 New York Times bestsellers, millions of readers have discovered Harlan Coben’s page-turning thrillers, filled with his trademark edge-of-your-seat suspense and gut-wrenching emotion. In Fool Me Once, Coben once again outdoes himself....

Former special ops pilot Maya, home from the war, sees an unthinkable image captured by her nanny cam while she is at work: her two-year-old daughter playing with Maya’s husband, Joe - who was brutally murdered two weeks earlier. The provocative question at the heart of the mystery: Can you believe everything you see with your own eyes, even when you desperately want to? To find the answer, Maya must finally come to terms with deep secrets and deceit in her own past before she can face the unbelievable truth about her husband - and herself.

Critic reviews

"Narrator January LaVoy's well-paced performance enhances the tension of this stand-alone thriller.... LaVoy's dynamic narration and distinct characterizations make this multilayered story a winning audiobook." (AudioFile)

“Coben is simply one of the all-time greats - pick up any one of his thrillers and you’ll find a riveting, twisty, surprising story with a big, beating heart at its core.” (Gillian Flynn, best-selling author of Gone Girl)

“[A] stellar standalone.... Coben is like a skilled magician saving the best, most stunning trick for the very end.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

Different from other books.

Excellent storyline, narrator did a great job too. Love the Coben books, this one is a standout for being a surprise ending!

Lead Character Uggghhhh

Another Coben mind bender, but the lead character was just so unlikeable. She was not nice to her friends at any point. The performance was good but the voices just were monotonous. All the men sounded alike as did the women. That aside Coben does his thing

The ending was unexpected

The ending was very sad but unexpected. I honestly expected it to be like every other book. I was wrong!

As always

Another Corbin stunner. short, sweet and to the point without droning on and on while still keeping you on your toes!

Great Read

Fool Me Once was a great read by Harlan Coben. Maya is a former special ops pilot. She is home from the war and sees an unthinkable image on her nanny cam while she is at work. She finds her two year old daughter playing with her husband Joe, who had been murdered two weeks earlier. This leads her to second guessing if what she sees is the absolute truth. I enjoyed reading this book and can't wait to read more by the author.
