I Will Find You

In this breathtaking thriller from a New York Times bestselling author, an innocent father serving life for the murder of his own son receives evidence that his child may still be alive--and must break out of prison to find out the truth.

David Burroughs was once a devoted father to his three-year-old son Matthew, living a dream life just a short drive away from the working-class suburb where he and his wife, Cheryl, first fell in love--until one fateful night when David woke to discover Matthew had been murdered while David was asleep just down the hall.

Half a decade later, David's been wrongly accused and convicted of the murder, left to serve out his time in a maximum-security prison--a fate which, grieving and wracked with guilt, David didn't have the will to fight. The world has moved on without him. Then Cheryl's younger sister, Rachel, makes a surprise appearance during visiting hours bearing a strange photograph . . . in the background, just barely in frame, is a boy bearing an eerie resemblance to David's son. David just knows: Matthew is still alive.

David plans a harrowing escape, determined to achieve the impossible-save his son, clear his own name, and discover the real story of what happened. But with his life on the line and the FBI following his every move, can David evade capture long enough to reveal the shocking truth?

I Will Find You was interesting but had some unlikely twists and turns that made the story unlikely. Its was easy to read. The characters lacked consistency however; example the prison Warden helps the main character to escape prison to find his son, yet the Warden gets his own son (police officer) to help in this scheme which seems very foolish for a father to do. This takes away from the characters honorable traits.

While I have watched all of Harlan Coben’s many screenplays for Netflix (and they are sooo good!!), this is the 1st novel I’ve read. It is an OTT plot packed full of action & twists. It is absolutely so unbelievable but so unputdownable at the same time. The story is told from David’s POV with detectives Max & Sarah sprinkled in too.

David is serving a sentence for murdering his 3 year old son, when a surprise visit from his ex-sister in law, Rachel, convinced him his son is still alive. But he must first plot a way to escape prison (with the warden’s help of course

Good story with a great number of twists and turns to unfold the story. I had issues with the prison break and how at the end, he was out of prison after all the laws he broke. Seemed unrealistic.
