An unexpected and slightly interesting twist around page 300 kept me from rating Caught 1 Star. I had too much trouble believing the storyline. I just could not suspend my disbelief. This is only the second book I've read by Harlan Coben, so the problem could lie at my feet. But how many times have I thrown a book screaming, "Harlan Coben, seriously? Really? You've. Got. To. Be. Kidding. Me!" My copy has fallen apart and now lies in the trash bin.

Totally awesome! I love some of Harlan's stand alone books. What am I talking about - I love ALL of his books, stand alone or otherwise. This is a great tale that leaves you dangling right through to the very end (although I did have my suspicions about Dan).

I borrowed this book from library at random because I have always liked reading Harlam Coben books. I have read a few of his books in the past and have thoroughly enjoyed the light thriller story line. After the 2nd page, i realised I had read this book before... probably a couple years ago.

And, although they are all now in their 40s, it seems that Mercer’s old college roommates are similarly accused of crimes they did not commit, each similarly ruined as a result.

A really good read. I liked the turn around on the journalist where she got falsely implicated etc. I listened to this on audio and Wendy and the narrators voice did not sit perfectly well. I see her as a fine boned soft spoken woman. The narrator is not. That however folks is my own imagination and is a testament of how well this book is written.
