  1. R. Kretchman –

    “Fool Me Once” by Harlan Coben is a gripping thriller that keeps readers on the edge of their seats from beginning to end. The novel follows Maya Burkett, an ex-special ops pilot, who is haunted by the murder of hersister while she was away on duty. and thenher husband. When she discovers a shocking revelation while watching a nanny cam, Maya is thrust into a whirlwind of deception and danger.
    Coben masterfully weaves together a complex web of twists and turns, keeping you guessing until the very last page. Each chapter ends on a cliffhanger, compelling you to keep turning the pages. While the pacing may feel slow at times, I found myself compelled to stick with it, and the payoff at the end made it all worthwhile. The characters are well-developed, adding depth to the thrilling rollercoaster ride of a novel that is “Fool Me Once”.

  2. David E. Mckee –

    Almost perfect – some superfluous sp? Potty mouth breaking one commandment – ruined it from being picture perfect – the man can write

  4. Lee S –

    Harlan Corben is sure able to get you from the first paragraph and keep you turning the pages to the last word.

  5. Kindle Customer Joan M. –

    The characters are interesting and the story is charged with emotion.
    Many surprising twists and turns.
    One of my favourite Cobens!

  6. Aurora –

    I’m a little embarrassed to admit that I typically sneak a peek at the end of the book before I get through the middle. I am a huge fan of this author, though, so this time I resisted the urge because I know that his endings can be surprising. With this book, to describe the ending as surprising is an understatement. I’m not going to spoil it by dropping any hints. Just read it preferably all in one setting if you can. Don’t cheat yourself. Read carefully. Don’t peek. Enjoy the ride.

  7. Melisa –

    I just can’t stop reading all of this guys books
    AMAZING, are his books kinda alike? Maybe.
    Will I keep on reading them? OF COURSE

  8. Finds and Faves –

    Every other book I’ve read by Harlan Coben I was totally in love with, so this one felt like a letdown. It wasn’t my favorite.

    Former special ops pilot Maya loses her husband Joe to a random shooting, leaving her a single mother to their daughter. A friend gives her a nanny cam to use in the house to help ensure her daughter’s safety, and Maya sets it up in her house, but to her surprise, sees her husband Joe on the camera playing with their daughter – after he was murdered.

    This prompts Maya to start digging into her husband’s past, but she soon realizes there may be more secrets than she was prepared to learn.

    I’m having a hard time writing this review, because a lot of the problems I had with the book lay in the things that would be spoilers for those who haven’t read the book. I will say a few things. First, I found the story really interesting in the beginning and end, but the middle lost me. It felt convoluted and confusing at times. There were constantly new characters being introduced that were somehow connected to her husband, and it got a little messy trying to keep up.

    Second, my biggest issue was that I found a lot of the plot unbelievable, especially once the ending was revealed. I won’t give anything away, but once I read the end, it felt like a lot of the things that happened in the book wouldn’t have happened in a real life situation. Last, I hard a hard time connecting with Maya as the lead. I found her unlikeable a lot of times, and I wasn’t her biggest fan.

    That all said, I did like the end of the book and didn’t see it coming, which is always a plus in my book. While this was a dud for me, I’ve loved Harlan Coben’s other books, so it definitely wont turn me off of reading his books in the future. If you’re looking for your first Harlan Coben book, I’d recommend starting with Tell No One instead of Fool Me Once.

    I did not previously know about this author. Now I do and I look forward to more of his books.

  10. Wendy Dunphy –

    Kept me guessing the whole book! Could not put it down.

  11. Nicole Burdge –

    Throughout the whole book I was intrigued. Up until the very end I had no idea who was to blame, what happened. There were lots of twists and turns. I thought there were a few little gaps but overall I really enjoyed this book and would recommend.

  12. hol –

    Un thriller comme les autres, avec un suspense garanti jusqu’à la dernière page du livre. A lire obligatoirement en anglais

  13. Trisha –

    Excellent! My preferred reading is science fiction/fantasy. I saw the reviews on ‘Fool Me Once’ and decided to give it a try and I am so glad I did. The story caught me at the first page and kept me riveted until the end. I will be reading more from this author.
