Product Description

SUNDAY TIMES
'It kept me listening through moments of spine-tingling tension.' --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fast-Paced Thriller, 21 Jun 2004
By Untouchable (Sydney, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Just One Look (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.

4.0 out of 5 stars A mothers love!, 15 April 2007
By A. McCarthy (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Just One Look (Paperback)
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

4.0 out of 5 stars Just One Look, 16 Oct 2005
By DevJohn01 (Somerset, NJ) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Just One Look (Hardcover)
When Grace Lawson finds a mysterious picture mixed in with her newly developed family pictures she thinks that it was a simple mistake, that someone else's picture got mixed in with hers. Until she realizes that one of the men in the picture is her husband and that the photograph in question was taken at least fifteen years ago. After Grace confronts her husband with the picture he suddenly flees their home leaving Grace and their two children with a lot of questions. When the police wont help her, Grace must dig into the past and find a way to bring her husband home but as she soon finds, there are so many secrets in both her and her husband Jack's past that their whole marriage may be based on a lie.

With a dangerous killer after her and others looking to unearth the mystery of that photograph Grace must race against time and look deeply into not only her husbands past but her own as well in order to uncover the truth and stop this killer before he harms Jack, herself and most importantly her children.

`JUST ONE LOOK' kept me up late into the night trying to finish this fast paced thriller. And while I highly recommend, well anything by Harlan Coben really, I did not give `JUST ONE LOOK' my usual Coben five star rating. This is because there was so much going on in the last 30 pages or so that it got a little jumbled. Nonetheless, this is definitely another great novel by Coben, 4 stars!
