Caught - Harlan Coben


Caught - Harlan Coben (2010)

I felt like I was treading on familiar territory with this one, a genre of child molester that is covered in shows like SVU all the time, that the twists didn't really come as a surprise, and the book felt all made up. Like the author had spent too long choosing the names, or describing how hot the moms were.

I don't know, it all felt like a set up for a movie script and I didn't really buy it. The saving grace is that Harlan Cobens style of writing is easy and calm, and you don't have to work too hard to get into one of his books. Normally I like them as they seem clever, and current. This one just felt a bit old and lazy. 2/5
