Play Dead by Harlan Coben

In the introduction, Harlan Coben himself said this wasn't the best book he had written, it was his first. I however was pleasantly surprised! It was easy to work out what one or two of the twists were halfway through the book, and it did get a bit annoying when he mentioned how beautiful the protagonist was in every sentence. Despite that, I though it was just as strong as the first of his books I read and better than the Myron Bolitar one.

The mysterious drowning death of her husband, Boston Celtics superstar David Baskin, sets fashion model Laura Ayers off investigating his death, and as she draws closer to the truth, her own life is suddenly in danger. Reprint.

This book made me go crazy. There were many hints throughout the whole book and in the end everything made sense and I thought I knew what happens, but I didn’t. He wrote this book so good, you don’t have a chance to guess what the secret is.
