Caught Zusammenfassung

Caught Harlan Coben

From the internationally NO.1 bestselling master of suspense comes a fast-paced, emotion-packed novel about guilt, grief, and our capacity to forgive. Seventeen-year-old Haley McWaid is a good girl, the pride of her suburban New Jersey family, captain of the lacrosse team, headed off to college next year with all the hopes and dreams her doting parents can pin on her. Which is why, when her mother wakes one morning to find that Haley never came home the night before, and three months quickly pass without word from the girl, the community assumes the worst. Wendy Tynes is a reporter on a mission, to identify and bring down sexual predators via elaborate and nationally televised sting operations. Working with local police on her news program Caught in the Act, Wendy and her team have publicly shamed dozens of men by the time she encounters her latest target. Dan Mercer is a social worker known as a friend to troubled teens, but his story soon becomes more complicated than Wendy could have imagined. In a novel that challenges as much as it thrills, filled with the astonishing tension and unseen suburban machinations that have become Coben's trademark, Caught tells the story of a missing girl, the community stunned by her loss, the predator who may have taken her, and the reporter who suddenly realizes she can't trust her own instincts about this case, or the motives of the people around her.

Caught Bewertungen

'CAUGHT: The brilliantly tense, beautifully written new mystery thriller from Coben - possibly the most joyously readable crime writer in the world right now.' HEAT MAGAZINE 'If you haven't been caught by Coben's intelligent, gripping thrillers yet, this will hook you.' DAILY MIRROR 'His trademark is twists that you don't see coming and his writing is not just exciting but also thought-provoking' DAILY MAIL 'Caught is a superb thriller... Coben's trademark scenes of legal cut-and-thrust are as gripping as ever; his ability to wring the drama out of the most mundane of potential criminal scenarios is, after all these years, remarkable. Furthermore, the fact he manages to create an ending that is both moving and convincing is testament to the enviable fact that he has never written better.' -- Mark Sanderson EVENING STANDARD 'Coben's characters are believable archetypes, his dialogue honest and pleasingly familiar... as always with Coben, it's the fun of the switchback ride that counts.' FINANCIAL TIMES '[An] excellent thriller...Coben's plots are always ingenious but that is never the point of them, so much as the emotional turmoil into which his characters are plunged by what happens to them and by what they do.' INDEPENDENT 'Harlan Coben has rediscovered his mojo in spades with the super-serpentine Caught' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Coben's trademark is twists that you just don't see coming, and his writing is not just exciting but also thought-provoking.' DAILY MAIL 'The magnificent Mr Coben is back with what might just be his most riveting novel yet: a masterful balance of impeccably story-telling and flawless characterisation. There's no such thing as the perfect thriller, but Harlan Coben is as close as it gets.' DAILY RECORD 'This latest from crime master Coben is a thrillingly tense yet emotional tale concerning a missing 17-year -old girl*****' HEAT (Book Charts) 'An absorbing page-turner, the theme of which is endurance and forgiveness' LITERARY REVIEW 'For all its complexity it's very fast moving and despite its pace, characters are distinctive and the dialogue is often very funny... Thoughtful, thrilling and funny - you can't ask for much more.' THE MORNING STAR 'If you're after a read that is something to merely ditch once completed, look elsewhere. If you want a novel that makes you think about the world in which we live and all that it implies whilst being thoroughly entertained, read Caught and enjoy yourself.' -- Chris High WRITING MAGAZINE 'Tense and intricate' WOMAN 'Coben has always been adept at creating tension and drama, but in his latest novel, he has produced a work that is much more nuanced than his usual thrillers.' SUNDAY MERCURY 'Harlan Coben has been a first-division writer for some years now, and Caught finds him at the top of his game... The sheer unputdownability of his books means this is a quick and deeply satifying read.' SUNDAY TRIBUNE 'A well-scripted read which would make great big-screen viewing.' NOTTINGHAM EVENING POST 'Harlan Coben has topped the best-seller lists with his previous fast-paced novels, and there is no reason why CAUGHT should not do the same.' LIVERPOOL POST 'You'll be ripping through the pages of this darker-than-usual, but disturbingly topical story' PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH 'This is a superb read, and for my money, one of Coben's very best novels... This is a book that is enormously difficult to describe without giving away too much. So I won't bother. Is it a good, fast, thrilling read? Undoubtedly - it's the best by far that I've read this year so far. But it's much more... a magnificent, thrilling and immensely satisfying book. Go out and buy it!' SHOTS 'Like a fisherman, Coben reels his readers in with some fancy hooks and cunningly concealed twists.' NORTHAMPTON CHRONICLE 'A superb thriller, complete with a double final twist, which proves you'll never really know a person' EVENING STANDARD - Books of the Year
