Crowned Review No Second Chance - Harlan Coben: A Painful Search  (1051 words)
by - written on 27/12/03 (Very useful, 145 readings)
Rating:

I read Tell No One by Harlan Coben several months ago and remembered liking his writing style when I saw No Second Chance on the library shelves. Harlan is a very good writer who knows how to draw you in and keep you interested with twists and turns in the plot, but the ending of Tell No One lacked the punch that I expected and hoped for as I approached the final chapters. As I began reading No Second Chance I felt a strong sense of familiarity and wondered if indeed it had been this novel that I'd read earlier. It wasn't but in both stories the hero is not long married and their wives are murdered in mysterious circumstances. I couldn't help ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review No Second Chance - Coben keeps you gripped right to the end! (592 words)
by - written on 17/03/09 (Very useful, 169 readings)
Rating:

My favourite author right now is Harlan Coben, and I am working my way through every book he has written at the moment. He knows how to write a fast-paced thriller full of twists and turns that hold you right till the end, and 'No Second Chance' , another of Coben's stand-alone thrillers does exactly that! The story begins with renowned plastic surgeon Dr Marc Seidman waking up to find himself in the intensive care unit, having been in a coma for over a week. He learns that both he and his wife were shot in their own home by an unseen assailant. Marc was left wounded, his wife murdered, and his baby daughter, Tara, is missing. The FBI and police are ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review No Second Chance - Harlan Coben: No Second Chance maybe, but read it a second time! (537 words)
by - written on 13/10/08 (Very useful, 65 readings)
Rating:

I am a big fan of the crime thriller genre, and one of my favourite authors is Harlan Coben. Like many authors, he has written a number of books based round a central character, but also a good selection of stand alone thrillers that have no bearing on other books. One of his stand alone books is this one, No Second Chance, a panicky thriller involving a murder and a kidnapping. Coben has the ability to twistg and turn the novel in your head, constantly keeping you guessing until the end before giving you a brilliant plot filler. No Second Chance sees Dr Marc Seidman waking up in hospital, having vague memory lapses, following the murder of his wife and the ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Take a chance on me (1033 words)
by - written on 05/01/05 (Very useful, 110 readings)
Rating:

Dr Marc Seidman wakes up in the hospital to find his wife has been murdered and his baby daughter, Tara, has vanished from their home. He has been shot and cannot remember events leading up to the awful events of that day. He spends weeks lying in bed, himself the subject of the murder investigation as the only witness, powerless to go out and find his daughter. Weeks later a letter arrives – a ransom note – warning him that if he contacts the police he will never see his daughter again. There will be ‘no second chance’. Marc’s wife has a rich father, Edgar – therefore he stumps up the cool 2 million bucks that is demanded. However, Marc, torn between ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review No Second Chance - Harlan Coben: Would you kill for your kids? (624 words)
by - written on 25/03/05 (Very useful, 536 readings)
Rating:

The question is just how far would you go to protect your family? Anyone who has been a parent would probably at some time or other have said that they would kill someone to protect their children. When you hear in the news about a paedophile or the abduction of a child the emotion is often one of wanting revenge and to inflict pain on the guilty but if the occasion actually arose could you actually do it? Pull the trigger? Stick the knife in? Beat someone to death? Look into someone eyes as you choke the life out of them? These are the questions that face Dr Marc Seidman a man who has dedicated his life to correcting facial deformities of children all over ...  Read the complete review
