3.17.2020 - The Boy From the Woods

The Boy from the Woods by Harlan Coben

Many thanks to NetGalley, Grand Central Publishing, and Harlan Coben for the opportunity to read and review his latest novel.  With Coben, you know you are in for a great read without question!

Wilde was found in the woods, living on his own with no memory of any family.  He has come far from that life, thanks to good foster families and friends, although he still is skittish around people and lives off the grid.  His godson, Matthew, goes for help to his grandmother, Hester, a powerful attorney with her own TV show, with news that a classmate who has been bullied has disappeared.  Hester and Matthew go to Wilde to help and he begins to investigate.  That investigation leads to powerful people and everyone has secrets to hide.

As always, a great read with fully-developed characters and fast-moving plot with requisite twists.  Plus, lots of themes such as family, loyalty, secrets, politics.  There were some plot lines left open so I'm hoping that we'll meet these characters again!
