Caught by Harlan Coben

Caught is Coben's newest novel. It is enthralling and will keep you on the edge of your seat. He keeps you guessing and the twists and turns, make you dizzy with excitement. This thriller is one of Coben's best. Nothing and I mean, Nothing, is what it seems. The story moves quickly and the characters are vivid and memorable. I don't' want to give anything away... but you will be "caught" up in this book. 

Grade: A+ 


Synopsis (B&N) Seventeen-year-old Haley McWaid is a good girl, the pride of her suburban New Jersey family, 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 bring down sexual predators via elaborate—and nationally televised—sting operations. Wendy and her team have 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. Caught tells the story of a missing girl, the predator who may have taken her, and the reporter who suddenly realizes she can’t trust her own instincts about this story—or the motives of the people around her.
