I absolutely love Harlan's writing, and normally can't wait to finish it in one sitting. This one doesn't disappoint, thrilling the reader and keeping you guessing and paging until the very end! Recommended.

I always feel you can't go wrong with Harlan Coben, and this didn't disappoint.

The past has a way of catching up with you, no matter how far you run.

Twenty-two years ago, Sami Kierce was a carefree graduate backpacking across Spain. Until the morning, he woke up in a pool of blood, a knife in his hand, and his girlfriend Anna lying dead beside him. In shock, he did the only thing he could think of: he ran.

Now a private investigator and a brand-new father, Kierce teaches night classes in New York to make ends meet. Life isn’t easy, but it’s steady—until one evening, he spots a face in the back row he never expected to see again. Anna.

It’s her. Older, but unmistakable. And before he can reach her, she vanishes.

What follows is a desperate search for answers that takes Kierce back into the darkness he thought he’d left behind. But some truths don’t want to be uncovered. And some ghosts don’t stay dead.

Brilliant from start to finish.

#NobodysFool #NetGalley Another brilliant read - exactly what I've come to expect from Harlan Coben. The plot is gripping, the characters are well developed and likeable (or not!). There is plenty of action and lots of twists and turns that I didn't see coming. An excellent 5 star read.

I’ve been reading Harlan Coben for a long time and with each book release I’m amazed at how quickly I’m drawn in. No other author can do this for me. Nobody’s fool is no exception, it draws you in and doesn’t let go, even after you’ve finished reading because you’ll still be thinking about it long after that last page was turned.

What a tangled web we weave! This was certainly a very tangled web, which all unravelled at the end. A fascinating story, well developed characters
and an amazing conclusion.

Always grabs you in from the start and takes you on an epic journey with incredibly written characters and a gripping plot. Another excellent book about a man who encounters someone from his past….that he thought was dead. Loved it as I knew I would!

I loved finding out more of Sami Keirce's back story and how the book was full of Harlen Coben's clever twists and turns and wonderful characters.

It isn't a Harlan Coben book if it didn't slightly mess with your mind. In the best way possible.

It had me hooked from the very beginning and at no point did I feel confused or had anything spoilt for me. I 100% did not expect the ending which was unreal. The whole book was written in a way that made you want to become a detective alongside all the other characters.

I feel I need to just read every single Harlan book now.

Nobody’s Fool - Harlan Coben

As much as I’d love to say I enjoyed this book I didn’t vibe with it. I read a bit then got distracted by other books I needed to finish. Sorry, but thanks for the opportunity. I’m going to come back to it sometime. ☺️

I'm a recent finder of Harlan Coben's books and so far none have disappointed.
This is another great book. Plenty of twists and turns with a great ending. Once I got into it, I didn't want to put it down.

Another brilliantly written book by Harlon Coban it had me hooked from the beginning till the end, there are plenty of twists and great characters, all written in true Coban style. This is the second book featuring Sami Kierce but can be read as a standalone. I would love to read more books with this character I can also see this as a great TV series.
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in return for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this book from Harlan Coben and found Sami Kierce a really likeable character. (I had not read the first book in this series and it is possible to read this book as a standalone).
Sami used to be a cop but is now a private detective, running night classes on how to become a private detective. He soon used his own group of sleuths to become involved in a case that he was caught up in during is younger days.
A really nice read with some clever twists.

Thank you to Random House UK, Cornerstone, Harlan Coben ad Netgalley for an ARC in return for an honest review.

Sami Kierce is a returns a private detective now and a night school teacher for people who what to be private detectives. One night a familiar face enters the lesson, someone he thought he killed while in Spain twenty years earlier. Full of twist and turns in this well plotted novel. Can't wait to see this on Netflix. Thanks to Random House and Netgalley for this review ARC.

I love reading Harlan’s books - so many twists. The main character I can picture in my head because of the Netflix adaptation of Fool Me Once. So that helped with my own tale. Thoroughly enjoyed it and I think there is enough for a third…

I’m a huge Harlan Coben fan, and Nobody’s Fool reminded me exactly why. Right from the start, the story pulled me in and didn’t let go. The twists, the sharp dialogue, the characters you can’t help but root for (or hate!)—it’s all classic Coben at his best. He masterfully weaves suspense, emotion, and just the right amount of humour into a story that kept me guessing—and caring—until the very end. Every chapter pulled me deeper into the mystery.

The characters felt so real, the pacing was perfect, and the ending was satisfying. If you’re looking for a smart, fast-paced thriller with heart, you’re going to love this one. Honestly, Coben just never misses. Definitely a 5-star read!

This did not grab me as much as some of the other Harlan Coben books that I've read. He has a formula and it works for him, but the plotting and storyline all felt very samey to me. It's not bad but it didn't stand out in any way.
