User recommends the product

Advantages Good plot, plenty twists and turns.
Disadvantages The main character a little irritating and unbelievable at times.

When the mother of seventeen-year-old Hayley McWaid discovers her daughter's empty bed one morning, she is horrified to discover her daughter did not return home the night before. Hayley has never gave her parents any trouble and to not return home or contact them is totally out of character for the teenager. Three months pass and her parents are no closer to discovering what has happened to their daughter and by this time everyone is assuming the worst. Meanwhile TV reporter Wendy Tynes is feeling very pleased with herself. Her mission to catch paedophiles via televised sting operations for ... more

I wasn't Caught up in it... 02/02/2011

Advantages Good ending, Interesting characters
Disadvantages A rather forced plot, a touch too long

Caught - Harlan Coben Introduction Released back in October 2010 "Caught" is the title of Harlan Coben's latest book release. I was introduced to the author after reading a review on an earlier title by a fellow dooyooer and became hooked by the complex and weaving storylines created and soon considered myself a fan of the authors work. My copy of "Caught" was a Christmas present last year and I finally got round to reading it just a few days ago, so what did I think? Plot What links the disappearance of a 17 year old girl, the man accused of abducting her and his connections to the past ... more

Caught and got a little bit stuck. 18/04/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages Nice plot twists, good characters
Disadvantages Not as good as Cobens previous books

Dan Mercer is a good guy. Giving his time to coaching basketball to kids who otherwise wouldn't have a chance at the game, working with impressionable, troubled youngsters, he's even on great terms with his ex wife and her new husband, sounds too good to be true? Well, maybe.... Haley McWaid is seventeen, bright, happy, intelligent, sports mad, popular, trustworthy and mature. So why has she suddenly disappeard without a trace and turned her much loved families world upside down? For Wendy Tynes, mother, widow, T. V. Reporter, the world is black and white. When she receives an email from a ... more

Caught Red Handed? 01/04/2012

User recommends the product

Advantages Plenty of twists & turns, intelligent premise, well written & enjoyable to read
Disadvantages See review

I've read and reviewed a few Harlan Coben books previously and really like his style of writing, so I was looking forward to this after coming across it in the library. I wasn't disappointed; it was an enjoyable read I would recommend regardless of whether you're familiar with his books. This caught my eye mostly because I'm familiar with Coben, but also because on the cover it tells us this was a 'Number One Bestseller', with a tagline of 'Scandal. Suspicion. Murder. It's child's play...', which was intriguing. We're introduced firstly to a disappearance of a 17 year old girl; with no leads ... more
