The Boy From the Woods - Harlan Coben

The Boy from the Woods - Harlan Coben

Publication Date: March 17, 2020

He and she read

High school student, Naomi Pines, the target of unrelenting bullying is missing and a classmate asks his Aunt Hester who is a famous attorney with her own TV program to help find her.  She enlists the assistance of Wilde, aptly named because he was once a child living on his own in the wilds of the Ramapo forests in New Jersey.  Wilde has a history with Hestor because he was once the playmate of Hester’s now dead son and is the godfather of her grandson.  There is a sleazy politician who sounds all too familiar , a wealthy television producer whose so also goes missing, and others who add to this plot.

I enjoy Harlan Coben’s writing and this book was no exception, although the story is a bit all over the place.  Despite this limitation, I found it an engrossing read.
