The Stranger by Harlan Coben


I read it in three sessions over a 24 hour period.

It’s a great, spell-binding read.  I’m not going to spoil the action, so I’ll only hint at the plotlines.

A perfect suburban family in a charming soccer mom town on the east coast has their dream interrupted by a stranger who comes into their lives briefly dropping a bombshell.  He causes suspicion, which turns into mystery.

The writing is the type I enjoy, cerebral thought development, and the pace of plot development is what keeps you reading the next chapter without pause.  The protagonist is the husband/father who has two boys, and it’s mostly men in the story.  The author after all is male.

An added lure is the involvement of crazy WEB sites like www.HowToFakeAPregnancy.com
