Book Review: Hold Tight by Harlan Coben

Enjoyed reading this novel by Harlan Coben. It is a stand alone novel but it does tie in with some of the previous books. It was nice to be on familiar territory with Cope and Muse etc and also the geographical location.

The story concerns the interactions between families and within families. Coben has got a nice mix in this novel with the growing angst of teenagers that goes too far. Also younger teenage girls and they also add to the mix too.

I enjoyed the parts where a small fairly insignificant action resonated like a ripple on a pool to much bigger and tragic consequences. The book encompasses drugs, murder but all seemingly in a suburban setting with some diversions to the seedier side of town.

8/10 for me.
