I'll be the first to admit that my absolute love of Harlan Coben's writing is what bumped this up from a ~3 star to a 4. The actual plot itself was so immersive at the beginning, and the further along I got, the more I just went "wait.. that was it?" and felt like the outcome was actually quite a letdown.

I loved the idea of her being plagued by her husband actually being alive - the paranoia and suspicion she felt, but also the disbelief of those around her, all seemed so real and sucked me right in. But, again, the conclusion just felt so lackluster.
