Product Description
Review
'Harlan Coben writes puzzle books. I like puzzles and I like being fooled. Coben does that extremely well, probably better than anyone else around at the moment. Just One Look.. is a puzzle book par excellence. I loved it.' (Mark Timlin THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY )
'Coben's power lies not only in narrative and pithy dialogue... his characters are properly fleshed out and credible, making for an emotional, as well as scary, rollercoaster of a read.' (THE DAILY MAIL )
'In the hands of Harlan Coben, you are kept guessing - and intrigued - until the last line. Just when you think you understand everything, Coben introduces a surprising twist. His previous books have been massive bestsellers, and if you read this one you will understand why.' (Matthew Lewin THE GUARDIAN )
'Coben has a highly readable style [and] the crucial skill of being able to evoke evil.' (THE DAILY TELEGRAPH )
'Coben's best' (THE GOOD BOOK GUIDE )
'Coben is one of the genre's big hitters and on this showing it's easy to see why.' (LONDON METRO )
'If you've never read a Harlan Coben, you're in for a treat. As a thriller writer, he is right up there with the best with a great ear for dialogue and total mastery of storytelling. Just one look and you'll be hooked.' (ladsmag.com )
'The best book I've read this year. Coben moves the story along at breakneck speed and the twists keep coming with an eye-popping intensity.' (CRIMETIME )
'A gritty, fast paced page turner with convincing characters and a twist to die for' (NEWMARKET JOURNAL )
"A spell-binding storyteller." (IRELAND ON SUNDAY ) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Format:Hardcover
After the formidable "No Second Chance" I just had to check out Coben's latest release. My lovely looking hardback arrived and sat on the 'waiting to be read' shelf for a few weeks before I finally found the time to open the front cover.
360 pages and an entire afternoon later the book was complete and I was exhausted. Not just because I'd spent almost the best part of a day reading, but this book is one hell of a roller-coaster that will keep you guessing and second guessing right until the end.
Throughout the course of the book you'll be introduced to a range of characters, none of which you will be entirely certain about and your opinion will undoubtedly change time and time again. The book moves along at a relentless pace and is sure to keep the reader engrossed right until the story finally ends.
The plot has a lot more depth to it than you would first appreciate, and offers a lot more than the normal blurb would suggest. The people, places and scenarios are wonderfully descriptive and there are a number of plot twists and surprises in store for the lucky reader when they take time to indulge themselves in what is undoubtedly one of the best reads this year!
If you've taken in any of Harlan Coben's other titles and enjoyed them then this will be all you want and more. If you've never taken the time to read any of Coben's books before, open yourself up to one of the best thriller novelists available, with "Just one look" as good a place to start as any!

Having read a couple of Michael Connelly books I read a review which recommended Harlan Coben. So this was the first of his books that I picked up. I found this book really easy to read and was gripped almost from the start. I wont go into the story line as others have before me but I felt that I really connected with Grace and, having had children of my own, would know what a mother would do to protect them.
An Excellent read! Harlan Coben has me hooked. Almost finished the Innocent and then making a start on my first Myron Bolitar.
Highly recommended

Format:Hardcover
When a mysterious photo appears in Grace Lawson's holiday snaps she is completely unprepared for the effect it will have on her life. It's an old photo and one of the people in it looks a lot like her husband, even though he denies it's him. However, when her husband disappears, the only thing she can think of that may be related is the photo.
What ensues is a desperate hunt for Grace's husband. But he can only be found by working out the significance of the mysterious photo and the identities of the people pictured in it. To add to the terror is the presence of an assassin named Eric Wu, first introduced to scare the pants off us in TELL NO ONE. Eric Wu is a martial arts expert, specialising in incapacitating or killing his victims simply by attacking pressure points on the body. He is a man completely devoid of emotion, effectively a killing machine and a formidable opponent. He has been hired to eliminate the people in the photo and it looks as though nothing's going to stop him.
Harlan Coben has once again produced a thrill-ride of a book with unexpected twists, unlikely heroes and an unusual outcome at the end. His new speciality of books about marriages in which secrets come back to haunt the spouses is continued here and it works just as well her as it did in his first stand-alone, TELL NO ONE.

Normal Twist and Turns Good Beach Read

Good but ...
Another good read from HC, witty and full of twists and turns.
However it is not as good as some of his other works, I liked it but I was not overwhelmed.

Another fantastic read from Harlan!
This author's characterisation is never a disappointment. They are always fully-fleshed and leaping off the page. To me, this is a big plus when reading this kind of book. Read more

Couldn't put it down but ending bit far fetched!
There's so much happening in the plot you just have to keep reading, trying to figure out how it all connects. Are all those coincidences really coincidences? Read more

Now, I've had this book on my shelf for a while now, and I just hadn't had the time to start reading it, I mean, I had started a couple of times but I had never quite got into it. Read more

Satisfaction of primary needs guaranteed
Spine tingling suspense and a more than usually convoluted plot from Harlan Coben in this murder and skulduggery novel. Read more
