Hold Tight


The latest from Harlan Coben brings back Loren Muse from The Woods, but in a very minor role. This was not one of his best efforts. There was just too much going on and it took a while to like the main characters. There are lots of intertwining storylines: a teacher who has verbally abused a student, parents who are using spyware to keep tabs on their teenage son, another teenager who has committed suicide, a neighbor whose son has leukemia, and a crazy guy who is killing women -- believe it or not they are all tied together at the end. All in all it seemed a bit farfetched that this much could be going on in their small town.
