I Will Find You: From the #1 bestselling creator of the hit Netflix series Stay Close

Product Information

I Will Find You is an OTT thriller about a prison break, a case of mistaken identity, and a startling revelation.

This was the most un-Harlan Coben book by Harlan Coben I think I have read, which isn’t a bad thing. I like it when an author can take me by surprise by completely changing up their vibe and giving me something that feels unique to them, yet remains in their wheelhouse. Married couple David and Cheryl are floundering for many reasons, David has turned to the bottle and Cheryl is distanced from him, they are lying to each other and have lost their love. When their son is three he is found bludgeoned to death in this bed. Eventually blame lands on David, and he takes this, reminiscent of Lindy Chamberlain in Australia. Showing no emotion in court, therefore the judgement of the world falling heavily on his shoulders. Well, now. From the moment following David’s discovery that his son is alive, this story had me holding my breath, especially while he was still in prison. I loathe stories about prison life so I was willing to suspend any level of beliefs until he got out of there. Then it became a journey to figure out not only where Matthew is living but why was David obviously set up for a murder and who was the child in that bed. There aren’t a lot of moments to breathe as the search for David by two highly skilled FBI agents was relentless and smart. David’s also resourceful, with a little help from friends, some from strange corners. How can David prove to everyone that son is still alive? Surely this is proof positive! Who will listen? Equally important, who on the outside will help him? Thank you to Grand Central Publishing and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.This was hard to put down as the pace never lets up. Every time I thought David might be relatively safe to catch a break, something would happen to mess that up. There are the typical twisty moments but there’s more about David’s commitment to find and rescue his son that captured my heart and soul. His transformation from a man without a will to live to someone with everything to live for was inspiring. Just bring your seat belt because this isn’t an easy ride. An innocent father serving life for the murder of his own son receives evidence that his child may still be alive, and must break out of prison to find out the truth in #1 New York Times bestselling author Harlan Coben’s latest breathtaking thriller. David Burroughs was once a devoted father to his three-year-old son Matthew, living a dream life just a short drive away from the working-class suburb where he and his wife, Cheryl, first fell in love--until one fateful night when David woke suddenly to discover Matthew had been murdered while David was asleep just down the hall.

I Will Find You is a stand-alone story, although there is an appearance by an old favourite and a nod to another. In no way though so you need to read any other books to understand this one. This is the story of David, a man who has bene in prison for the last 5 years for the murder of his 3-year-old son, Matthew. He has always said that he was innocent, but guilty of not protecting him. Now, a photo has come to his attention, and it shows a boy that looks exactly like his son. And there the wild ride begins.The story has similarities with one of my favorite Korean series “ Defendant” and the famous TV show/ Harrison Ford’s remake movie “Fugitive “! It hooks you up from the beginning! It captivates your heart, your soul, your mind at the same time. You cannot stop finishing. The pressure escalates at each chapter. You chant for David, screaming “ Run! Run! Run!” This drama is an eye opening for international viewers on how brutal and stressful it is to live in a city like Shanghai. As a realtor, the work is hard and the competition is fierce. But most of all, all denizens in the city work extra-ordinarily hard and they are determined to achieve their goals, overcoming any obstacles that come their way. It also depicts all walks of life in the city – the good, the bad and the ugly. The good ones are beautiful and heart-warming, and the bad ones are ugly, greedy and unethical.
