Harlan Coben

Hold Tight

Peggy Walker

Harlen Coben writes a great story, and this one draws the reader in,as most of his books do. However, I felt like he was trying too hard on this one. The issue of parents rights to protect their children and their children's rights of privacy are an intriguing starting point, but it appears that everything a parent could be concerned about was occurring....and worse. The climax of action requires split second timing and a lot of coincidence to tie so many story lines up so neatly. Some connections seemed really tenuous to me. Some aspects of the case were solved by luck or maybe psychic messages rather than actual police work. Coben needed a better editor on this one.

Hold Tight by Harlan Coben

Compared to other Harlan Coben books, this one wasn't as good. There was no amazing, shocking twist at the end, it was a bit predictable. The author seemed a bit too preoccupied in debating whether it was morally right for the parents to spy on their child. He should've focused more on the crimes being committed.

How far will you go to protect your child? A superb SUNDAY TIMES No.1 bestseller from the author of SIX YEARS. Tia and Mike Baye never imagined they'd become the type of overprotective parents who spy on their kids. But their 16-year-old son Adam has been unusually distant lately, and after the suicide of his classmate Spencer, they can't help but worry. They install a sophisticated spy program on Adam's computer, and within days they are jolted by a message from an unknown correspondent addressed to their son: 'Just stay quiet and all safe.' Meanwhile, browsing through an online memorial for Spencer, Betsy Hill is struck by a photo that appears to have been taken on the night of her son's death and he wasn't alone. She thinks it is Adam Baye standing just outside the camera's range, but when Adam goes missing, it soon becomes clear that something deep and sinister has infected their community...
