Buckle up!
I have read most of Harlan Coben's books, except for the Bolitar series because I'm not a sports fan.
When you begin "I Will Find You", you'd best buckle up! And forget the roller-coaster ride; that's too tame to describe the speed with which Coben grabs you from page one.
We meet the main character, David Burroughs, during his fifth year in prison. We feel his pain, anger, and frustration and then cheer him on as he plots his escape. I won't go into great detail lest I include spoilers. I immediately sympathized with David, despite the horrendous nature of his crime. The characters comprising his support system become very real early on in the story and the FBI agents chasing him extremely annoying!
This book is tight with every word advancing the plot and, in typical Coben fashion, there are twists and turns aplenty. The ending was satisfying with all my questions answered. Thank goodness Coben doesn't subscribe to the current madness so many authors seem to embrace of feeling he must leave us wanting more. Translation: "You must buy my next book if you want to know what happens next."
There are a few grammatical errors in "I Will Find You", which surprised me because I have never before noticed any in Coben's books. There weren't enough to be distracting, but enough to cause a little blip in my consciousness as a I read.
If you enjoy adventure thrillers, you will love "I Will Find You".

"...hooked my intrigue from the very first chapter."
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2023
My mission to read new to me authors continues, this time with the latest book by thriller author Harlan Coben. Coben is another one of those authors I have always heard about but have never read. I first became familiar with his work years ago after picking up a used paperback copy of his book Tell No One. At the time, Ben Affleck was attached as the director of a film adaptation of the title, so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to read the book before the movie arrived. Instead, I procrastinated with the book, and the movie version was quietly scrapped. Coben's work continued to sit on my shelf unread until his publisher reached out with the offer to read his latest novel I Will Find You.The loss of a child is unconscionable. For David and Cheryl Burroughs, it is the single event that completely upturned their lives. Their toddler son Matthew was brutally murdered in their home. David was convicted of the crime, and the couple divorced and went their separate ways. Five years later, Cheryl is remarried and expecting a child. Her life, it seems, is beginning to reset. David is in a much different state. He's spent the last five years confined to his prison cell, all the while professing his innocence. For the entirety of his imprisonment, David has refused any visitors. Even his closest family members have stopped trying to see him. It is unusual then that Cheryl's sister Rachel would be at the jail today. Even more unusual, perhaps, is her persistence to visit David.David begrudgingly agrees to see Rachel, curious about why after all this time she would want to speak to him. He couldn't be prepared for the bombshell she is about to reveal. Rachel, a recently disgraced journalist, comes to David with a photograph of a child at a theme park. The child appears to be around eight years old, the exact age his deceased son would have been if he had survived. More startling, the boy is the spitting image of Matthew, a perfect match down to every detail, even the birthmark on his face. Could this truly be Matthew? David and Rachel are both convinced. The only question now is what should they do next.I Will Find You left me wondering why it took me so look to read anything by Harlan Coben. The story of a father wrongfully convicted of killing his son and being given a second chance at justice hooked my intrigue from the very first chapter. Yes, the believability around the specifics of the plot is pushed far beyond any sense of plausibility, but I didn't care. This is the kind of escapism thriller that I'm able to get lost in and just enjoy the ride. Think of this book as you would a crowd-pleasing summer action movie. You'll root for the main characters, be annoyed by the people against them, and cheer as the inevitable ending eventually arises. There's nothing mind-blowing about it, but you can't deny the entertainment factor. Sometimes, that is the exact kind of read that I need. I thoroughly enjoyed this one from start to finish, and can't wait to dive into more of Harlan Coben's books.
