APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Bestselling thriller writer Harlan Coben sure knows how to sink his claws in. The opening scenes of Fool Me Once are nail-biting and explosive. Former Army pilot Maya has just buried her husband, Joe, but her grief is tainted by suspicion, anger and anxiety for her two-year-old daughter. Meanwhile, Maya remains a suspect in Joe’s murder. Coben artfully drops bits and pieces of information, keeping us guessing at the truth. He tempers the suspense with moving portraits of Maya’s sustaining relationships.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Capt. Maya Stern Burkett, the heroine of this stellar standalone from Edgar-winner Coben (The Stranger), has suffered more than her fair share of tragedy. Her career as a U.S. Army helicopter pilot came to an end after whistle-blower Corey Rudzinski exposed the civilian deaths caused by her actions in Iraq. Even worse, her husband, Joe Burkett, is shot to death in front of her in Manhattan's Central Park, though Maya is able to give a good description of the masked killers to an NYPD homicide detective. Maya is already dealing with the nightmares from her combat experiences and the murder of her sister, Claire, four months earlier while Maya was stationed in Kuwait. Then, weeks after Joe's funeral, a recently installed nanny cam shows her two-year-old daughter, Lily, crawling onto Joe's lap. Other shocks follow. Implausible links arise between Joe's death and Claire's, and she must face the possibility of more revelations from Rudzinski. Coben is like a skilled magician saving the best, most stunning trick for the very end. Five-city author tour.
Customer Reviews
Good read
Some of the events are a bit implausible. But overall a good read. Hectic pace. I have not yet seen the mini series.
Good read but disappointing
Certainly a different story angle. I didn't read the book before this so the characters were new to me. What a lot of nasty characters!
I always skip over boring lengthy descriptions of guns, weapons and military hardware. Another hate is finding the book end many pages earlier than expected and then get the first chapter of the author's next book. I feel cheated every time. If I want to read the next book I'll buy it, I do not read the teasers so it is wasted space.
Predictable ending and I'm glad the character is gone.
Binged this one in 2 days
Easy read that you can’t put down but definitely recommend reading before you watch the Netflix series
