In this thriller, a murder, a missing housewife and a suicide occur in a New Jersey suburb. Each crime appears to be independent and random.
The story gains interest immediately by introducing the families who have been faced
with these tragedies. Parents are suffering the loss of a child through suicide. Others are dealing with the effect the suicide has on friends left behind and possible involvement.
Spouses and children are dealing with the uncertainty of a missing mother, and police are trying to solve the murder of a woman beaten to death and dumped in bad part of town. Because this is a small suburb, the characters are linked by everyday life, schools, doctors, teachers and friends.
Harlan Coben skillfully places the clues to each crime. It isn’t until the final chapter that Coben reveals how the crimes and families are connected. Throughout this fast paced murder mystery, the reader is reminded of how important family is and to “Hold Tight”.
