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?

As with all Coben books it wraps up a little too neatly, but I love a happy ending. If there’s a downside, it’s the amount of self-justification every character explained. It’s the main source of exposition. The Big Bad was revealed pretty early on which made some of the later twists and turns less startling. All in all I enjoyed it and would recommend it.

As a dad of a boy, the story resonated with me and I needed to see how it all played out. That said, the author writes to incredibly coincidental amounts of convenience throughout. I really had to suspend disbelief quite a bit here.

WHAT. A. RIDE. The first few pages had me HOOKED and I couldn't put it down. An action-packed thriller with bits of sardonic humor throughout, we follow David on his journey to find his son and prove his innocence. There were a lot of parts that I enjoyed, like how each character he comes across does their absolute best to assist him, even if it puts themselves in danger or if they still don't fully believe he didn't kill his son. A few characters felt a bit grating and excessive to me, like the two Detectives, but overall I feel they did serve their purpose albeit a little bit annoyingly. The ending did feel a little surprising, even though the breadcrumbs were pretty plain to see as the story progressed. My only qualm with the book would be that I think it was a little short, predictable and wrapped up too nicely; I would have easily read another 100 pages. Overall it was such a fun reading experience, and my hope would be that they adapt this into a miniseries. This is my first Harlan Coben book and I suspect it will not be the last.
