The Stranger

Adam Price is happy with his life, he's married with 2 great sons and a good job. What could go wrong? Who could spoil that?

One day a stranger comes up to him in a car park and tells him his wife lied about being pregnant (not a spoiler, it's on page 3). Adam naturally confronts his wife and her reaction is not what he was expecting so he starts to dig into this lie and let's just say this is the epitome of something snowballing. This is set in a small town where everyone knows everyone and everything so there's plenty of lying and scheming going on, it's twisty enough to keep you on your toes. It also really makes you think about what is visible on the internet and how easy it is for someone to find out anything about you online.

I think this is the third Coben book I've read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's fast, compelling and so easy to read, you just do not want to put it down. An excellent quick mystery read!
