I Will Find You by Harlan Coben
fast-paced
4.5
4.5 stars.
David wakes up one morning and finds himself covered in blood. But it’s not his own, it’s his son’s. While he knows he did not murder his son, the evidence is overwhelmingly against him, putting him behind bars. Five years later, David’s sister-in-law visits him in prison and drops some earth-shattering news. She has a photograph that a friend took while on vacation at a theme park and a boy in the background seems familiar. David knows it’s his son Matthew. David quickly plans an escape from prison in hopes of clearing his name, saving his son, and discovering what really happened that night five years ago.
I requested this book on Libby recently after it was published and have continuously delayed its delivery for over a year. Now that I’ve finally read it, I don’t think I should have pushed it off for so long! I honestly blew through this book in what felt like no time. I really enjoyed it. I haven’t read a book by Coben in years, but I think I’ll need to remedy that and read more of his work soon!
I WILL FIND YOU is told in multiple POV: David, FBI agent Max, and Rachel. I really enjoyed David’s POV, and since the story is mainly focused on him and his experiences, this is a good thing!
For the vibes and excellent pacing alone, I would give this book five stars. The plot is a little far-fetched and requires a bit of suspension of disbelief, but this is fiction, so if you can get behind that then I think you’ll end up enjoying this story. The content, plot, pacing, and suspense were really well done. I thought the ending worked well for this story.
