No Second Chance by Harlan Coben.

Marc Seidman wakes up in ICU to find his wife has been murdered and his baby daughter, Tara, has vanished.

This story is NOT hot off the press as Harlan wrote this novel in 2003. Does this 391 page crime thriller seem out of date, reading it 11 years after it was first published? NO! this book is a stonking good read and it DOES NOT show it's age. What you get is a first class read that fully entertains you from start to finish. No Second Chance is a FULL story will loads of detail and lots of twists and turns. It is all about secrets in peoples' past that raise their ugly heads to cause problems that are a big challenge to work around. Follow Marc as his secrets are slowly reveiled to the reader but he is not the only one with a murky past. This is not just a regular crime thriller but a look into how people deal with life's challenges in a way that they think is right, at the time.

No Second Chance is a big story with a huge list of little details that all fit together. The planning of the plot lines are the work of genius. The pleasure I got from reading such a complicated plot was tremendous. Harlan is an author at the top of his game. I can find nothing wrong with this book at all. If you want to give a book away to someone to get them interested in reading books as a hobby, this fits the bill! Harlan is an author who does not let the reader down with poor, follow on novels. There is only one vote I can give No Second Chance, the top score of 5 stars.
