Harlan Coben is the master of suspense. Almost 10 years after the first book in the series, "Fool Me Once"—which I didn't care for, BTW, meaning I almost didn't read this—and Sami Kierce is back. I didn't remember much about him or what happened in the first book, but he's a fun character. Myron Bolitar-like humor, though not as witty or without an impeccable sidekick. Nevertheless, the plot here is amazing—twisty, unexpected, amazingly done. A masterclass in the genre.
Dark secrets from former Detective Sami Kierce's past comes back to haunt him in the unmissable new thriller from the global No. 1 bestselling author and creator of the hit Netflix drama Fool Me Once.

Excellent. Penny is a teenager with a multiple personality disorder who is accused of murder. She's temporarily placed into a mental hospital while a doctor analyzes her in an attempt to get to the bottom of it.
Penny was adopted as a little girl, which leads to serious tension in the family dynamics with lots of subplots going on. Maybe too much at times, making the story drag on just a bit too long for my taste. Could have been 75 or 100 pages shorter and just as good. Awesome story, though, with a slower burn than many thrillers.
A thriller that explores the truth or lies behind a teenage girl's multiple personality disorder, from D.J. Palmer, the author of The New Husband.
Meet Ruby, who speaks with a British accent. Then there's Chloe, a perfectionist who strives for straight A's in school. And along comes Eve, who is spiteful and vicious. All of them live inside Penny. Or do they?
Penny Francone, age sixteen, is a murderer. Her guilt is beyond doubt: she was found alone in the victim's apartment, covered in blood, holding the murder weapon. The victim's identity and her secret relationship to Penny give Penny…
The thing about the truth is, sometimes, it’s all in the eyes.
On his drive home from work, Mark hears a familiar voice on the Doctor Lisa radio show—a popular therapist hotline. It’s not just a familiar voice; it’s her voice. His wife Rachel’s voice.
The caller, who goes by Mindy from Indy, has a secret. A secret so explosive it’ll destroy her life if it comes out—but she hangs up before revealing it. Later, Rachel denies ever having heard of the Doctor Lisa Show, or Mindy from Indy.
But Mark knows his wife, and he knows her voice. And he doesn’t understand why she’s lying to him, or what about.
As Mark searches for the truth behind the mysterious caller’s identity, he discovers it’s family secrets that often cut the deepest. Somebody with a deep obsession is playing dangerous mind games—threatening not only his trust in Rachel, but also the safety of their two daughters—and might be willing to go further than he could ever imagine.
When he looks closely, he learns the eyes really do tell all. That is, unless he can’t trust what his eyes are trying to tell him.
