I Will Find You
I Will Find You by Harlan Coben
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
David is serving life in prison for the murder of his three-year-old son. In the time served so far, David has had no visitors – not one. That is, until his sister-in-law visits to show him a photograph of his son, recently taken in an amusement park. The boy is older, but there is little doubt – it is David’s son. We’re off on an adventure to prove David’s innocence and above all, find the boy alive.
Liked. I Will Find You is a page-turner. Not too violent, no sex, no offensive language. Lots of twists. Narration is fine.
Not so hot. A little predictable in sections. Bumped the speed on the iPhone to 1.4.
Overall a fun story, enjoyable listen.
Written by Harlan Coben, narrated by Steven Weber, 10.5 hours of listening in unabridged audiobook format, related in March 23 by Brilliance Audio.
