I Will Find You

Synopsis: Five years after being convicted of murdering his young son, David Burroughs receives a photograph that convinces him pthe boy is still alive. Certain he was wrongly imprisoned, David escapes from a maximum-security prison to find his son, clear his name, and uncover the truth behind the crime—all while evading the FBI in a race against time. Review: The story is told through alternating perspectives, with David’s chapters written in the first person and the remaining chapters in third person. This works very well, because it gives readers a direct window into David’s thoughts, fears, and emotions while still allowing the story to broaden out and follow the actions and motivations of the other characters. The shifting viewpoints add depth and help keep the pacing moving. There is very little diversity among the cast of characters, which is disappointing in today’s world. I expected better from Harlan Coben, especially given how much more inclusive contemporary fiction has become. It stood out to me in a way that felt unnecessary and dated. That said, the characters do become more nuanced and well-developed as the story unfolds, which makes it easier to become invested in their journeys and understand how their choices connect to the larger mystery. The suspense steadily builds throughout the novel, with the tension increasing as each new revelation brings David closer to the truth. Coben does a strong job of layering clues and keeping the reader engaged, and the momentum never really lets up. Overall, it is a good story, and I appreciated the way he brings everything together and interweaves the characters and plot threads by the end.

Many, many twists!

This book was a great read. Although it is far fetched from reality it was a great read. It will get you out of a reading slump.

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.

Gripping, action packed, suspenseful thriller with twist and turns around every corner. I loved this book! 10/10💛
