Tell No One

From the Number One bestselling creator of the hit Netflix series Missing You

By: Harlan Coben

Narrated by: Tim Machin

Eight years ago David Beck was knocked unconscious and left for dead, and his wife Elizabeth was kidnapped and murdered.

Dr Beck re-lived the horror of what happened that day every day of his life. Then one afternoon, he receives an anonymous email telling him to log on to a certain website. The screen opens on to a web cam - and it is Elizabeth's image he sees.

As Beck tries to find out if Elizabeth is truly alive, and what really happened the night she disappeared, the FBI are trying to pin Elizabeth's murder on him. And everyone he turns to seems to end up dead.

Critic reviews

A pulsing, pacy, devour-at-one-sitting thriller . . . Coben grabs you with the opening paragraph and never lets you go. A class act

A thriller that recalls Vertigo. If the resolution of the mystery is more straightforward than Hitchcock's, it gains resonance because it keeps coming back to family issues

This book will keep you up until 2 a.m.

Highly suspenseful thriller, high on excitement

Intelligent and gripping this is a real white-knuckle read of a thriller

Harlan Coben writes brilliant page-turners. Try Tell No One, a guaranteed one-sitting read, then catch up on his earlier masterpieces of crime storytelling

If you like a good page-turner, you'll love this. The story of a dead wife sending her husband an e-mail eight years after her murder and the chain of events that follows will have you on the edge of your seat. A fast-paced thriller of the highest order

Disappointing

Any additional comments?

This novel was a great disappointment. The characters were one-dimensional, the plot was formulaic and full of holes, and don't get me started on the narrator! He was simply dreadful - his timing was abysmal and his characterisations were ludicrous, absolutely ludicrous, which made the book virtually unlistenable. I have rated the overall and story components a two-star rating because my opinion might be swayed by the jaw-dropping horror of the narration, which is really worth much less than one star.
