I received this copy from the publisher through Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
This is more like 3.5 stars to me - I enjoyed the whodunnit and suspense elements a lot, and wasn't quite sure throughout how it was going to play out which is always good.
The structure while worth it through the book is so confusing at the start that I was struggling. However, I did like the way it shows you know Nap thinks and how his views of the case change through the book. I also liked that you could see that he is a good investigator but in this case hot headed and often jumping to conclusions because he wants answers so much. I really enjoyed how that came across and made the two cases more alive as a result.

Pretty fast and entertaining but parts of the story felt a bit too contrived

Another great one from Mr. Coben! I really do find his books unputdownable (that's a word) and I thoroughly enjoy his writing. I really liked everything about this book, and I highly recommend him as an author.
I have one question though...

Who 'drugged' Maura's mother, or did she actually get drugged? Once we found out about how Maura didn't know what happened and Augie knew that, then why would her mother be in danger still? I might have missed a big chunk of this...retropaidni's review against another edition

I don’t have too much to say about this. Plot twists were great, protagonist lacked depth. Augie and Ellie were my favourite characters. Just ya bog standard Harlan Coben novel really. I would like to see a TV adaptation of this.

I needed a good, suspenseful mystery to sink my teeth into and Don't Let Go by Harlan Coben did not disappoint!Â

This book did exactly it's job which was offer a quick, mindless read after a few heavier literary reads that left me wanting a bit of a breather. Coben delivers for quick and mindless. Not my favorite, by the time you find out it's like "Oh..." and you are kind of just sad for everyone in the entire book. Whereas some his others end with "WOAH. WHAT?" But if you are churning out these kinds of books, of course, some will be better than others.

So I've read most of Coben's stand alone novels, and this simply isn't one of his best. It thematically borrows from the very good Tell No-one, but misses the climactic revelation from the latter. Still an acceptably good read, as far as pulp fiction goes.
Quite a few spelling mistakes and grammatical errors though. ("He you remember." p.43)
