"A thrilling, addictive reading feast, if you haven’t yet tried Harlan Coben now is the perfect time."
Does a Harlan Coben novel really need an introduction… if you’ve not read this wordsmith’s work before then yes, of course it does! I have to say that I am never disappointed, his are thrilling novels that you can completely disappear into as they spear emotions and provoke thoughts. In Run Away a father searches for his daughter, she ran, and he has been searching ever since, when he finds her, he and the rest of his much-loved family find themselves in terrible danger. The first chapter snared my imagination, you know when you fall so deeply into a book that nothing else exists, well that was me. Each character dove into my awareness, so clearly defined, I could hear them and feel for them, even if I feared them. I didn’t want to stop reading and so waved hello to the very early hours (tip: start in good time if you don’t want to pull an all-nighter!). Run Away is a pure, addictive reading feast for the eyes and mind, if you haven’t yet tried A Harlan Coben, now is the perfect time.

Twisting, turning, gritty, gripping and absolutely compelling!
Firstly, I have to say I've never read a Harlan Coben book before. I thought I'd try to branch out! I'm very glad I did!
Simon appears to have it all. A successful career, a happy marriage to his equally successful doctor wife and three children. However, his oldest child Paige has run away and is a drug addict in the thrall of an abusive boyfriend. Simon tries to find Paige but when he does he sets off a series of events that could easily end in disaster for all of their family.
I love twists and turns when reading, and this was packed with them from the start to the very bitter end!... Read Full Review

Two seemingly unrelated plots collide at the very end in a fast and explosive finish.
Having read some of Harlan Coben’s previous books, I was looking forward to reading this. The book begins with Simon, who has been looking for his missing daughter, suddenly spotting her busking in a park. The story is told in two plot lines. One follows Simon as he tries desperately to find and save his daughter, who ran off when he approached her. Just what will a parent do to save their child? The other plot, following a hit man, seems so completely unrelated it is like reading two books at the same time. The story is a big knot of threads which unravel in all sorts of unexpected ways as the body count rises.... Read Full Review
