The Stranger by Harlan Coben Book Summary

NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES!

A secret destroys a man’s perfect life and sends him on a collision course with a deadly conspiracy in this shocking thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Harlan Coben.

The Stranger appears out of nowhere, perhaps in a bar, or a parking lot, or at the grocery store. Their identity is unknown. Their motives are unclear. Their information is undeniable. Then they whisper a few words in your ear and disappear, leaving you picking up the pieces of your shattered world...

Adam Price has a lot to lose: a comfortable marriage to a beautiful woman, two wonderful sons, and all the trappings of the American Dream: a big house, a good job, a seemingly perfect life.

Then he runs into the Stranger. When he learns a devastating secret about his wife, Corinne, he confronts her, and the mirage of perfection disappears as if it never existed at all. Soon Adam finds himself tangled in something far darker than even Corinne's deception, and realizes that if he doesn't make exactly the right moves, the conspiracy he’s stumbled into will not only ruin lives—it will end them.

Very surprising end!. Secrets can kill! A good book with great plot twists and a super surprising end!

Spellbinding. This book kept my attention from start to end. It was hard to put the book down. The story has so e surprising twist and turns. This is a great read.

The stranger. Really well written with lots of twists and turns.

Read all his books. Not interested In this one :(. I tried to like this book but it wasn't interesting and Harlan this is not good. Where's the whit? The humor and snarky characters--- not in this book. Don't read this one ! :(

Fascinating read.. This is the first time that I've read a book by Harlan Coben and I must say that I am very satisfied with his work. The book starts off grabbing you by having the "Stranger" approach Adam with a secret. From there, the various characters in the book will come together in a common thread. It's full of mystery and suspense which are two things I love in a book. I will definitely read more of this authors work.

A Good One!. Harlan Coben seems to always come up with a great premise for his novels, and this one is very interesting. They never really end the way I expect, but whether I like the ending or not they are never predictable.

The Stranger. Not one of his best.

The Stranger. Sometimes hard to follow because of all the different characters and their separate stories. But, as always, amazingly creative and lightening paced. Gets you on the first page and doesn't let go until the end. The kind of book that you miss when you finish it. The kind of book that you always look forward to having a little time to pick it up and read some more and not have to stop reading because you have something else you're supposed to be doing. The kind of book that makes you late for appointments because you don't want to put the book down. The kind of book that makes me love reading fiction. Harlen Coben is so consistent that way.

Unpredictable. Great read. Completely unpredictable. Look forward to reading more from this author.

So so. This was one of his most boring books. And the end was not the usual twist.

Top 3 books. I couldn’t put it down. One of the best books ive read in YEARS!!

Good read, but…!. I enjoyed this book, and the ending kinda threw me! I did have a little trouble keeping up with the many characters brought in, and then referred to later. I would have to go back and find out who they were and how they related to the story! Some of that could have been on me, as I didn’t read it straight through as usual, and would come back to it after being away for a while! It was a great story! I am still thinking about some aspects of it, so that’s a good thing!

Hated it. Will never read another of his books again!! I used to really like him. The last 2 I have read & this one The Stranger I stooped reading because it was so bad!! Wasted my money

Awful Story. One of the worst books ever. I gave up 3 or 4 times but thought "it has to get better". And it doesn't. Don't waste your time or money.

The Stranger. First read last read!

Characters. This is my favorite author, however this one missed the mark. Way too many characters. It got a bit confusing.

Sexist writing. Lazy and sexist writing

Awful. Horribly disjointed. Multiple stories. Like reading 3 or 4 books with no connection; one chapter from one book, then reading a chapter from another book. Mr. Coben's worst effort of his books that I've read.

Outstanding!!. This is a must read. I was sucked into this book and was unable to put it down.

The Stranger. This book is a page turner but I was very disappointed in the ending. Pure drivel in my opinion.

Hard to put down. Very good book!

Coben strikes again. Another great read from Coben. Started a little slower than some of his others but then I realized I had almost read three quarters of the book already. Great twists and turns and as always his depth of characters was spot on, really gets you to feel like you know them.

The Stranger. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Suspenseful from beginning to end.

Txu. SySay your yes

Harlan’s done it again. As usual, Coban delivers a great story. Full of twists and turns. This one was hard to put down. Please keep them coming!

how y m. m no but hyjny my typo

Great read!. I loved this book - the complexity of the story, the humaness of the characters. I would highly recommend it to everybody who is a Harlen Coben fan! Cindy Demme

The Stranger---WOW!!!!!. This is my first read by this author. How I missed him, I'll never know but I am hooked!! I'm so used to guessing the next twist and even the outcome of books, this author was a true challenge the whole way through! Absolutely riveting during the whole ride through this book, and what a great ride it was. Thank you, Mr. Coben, you made me remember why I love reading! I can't wait to read the rest!!

New story. I enjoyed this book. It's suspenseful and you don't necessarily know what's going to happen next. I wasn't thrilled with the ending. It's a fast read - perfect vacation book.

Superlative book. The Stranger.... Mr. Harlan Coben has done it again...maybe his best book yet. It was suspenseful, but believable. This is a future movie, in my humble opinion.

Not very good. So so plotting and story. poorly developed characters. Dumb ending.

The Stranger. While I enjoy Harlan Coben books, not one of my favorites.

The stranger. I thought this was one of his best. I couldn't put it down!

Stranger. So good!! I read this as much as possible,before work on my lunch break after work,I couldn't put it down,I would highly recommend this book to anyone just looking for some alone time,time to entertain yourself and keep your mind busy.

Mildly entertaining. I am not trying to be mean, I just didn't think the writing was that captivating. I made myself finish it...sorry.

Winning. This book was so good !! There was so much intense parts that keep you from putting the book down .

It was good. It was good.. not a good as I hoped but it just felt like it was missing something. Maybe the Netflix series will give it what it seemed to be missing. I did enjoy the book though!

The Stranger. I looked forward to reading this book and was so disappointed. I have read almost every book Harlan has written but this is far from the best. I felt as he was writing the book he was conjuring up the next move. Not a fluid read. It was outlandish and boring to the point of who cared what happened next.

The Stranger. Solid, quick read.

The Stranger. I thought this book was awful. It was confusing, and I felt that each chapter added to the disconnect. The premise on which it was based was elementary and unbelievable. I could not believe this writer is a respected author.

Amazing. Kept me on the edge!

Good read. Good book the end as always too quick and simple.

The Stranger. Fabulous as usual.

Nice thriller. Coben did it again! Beautifully threaded all characters together filling with a thrill and suspense!

Loved this book. This book kept me guessing all the way through. I finished it so quickly because I couldn't put it down. An easy read that is very entertaining. Definitely recommend it!

Lame writing of female characters. The story is exciting and all, but the way every single female character is described made me cringe. Sometimes they had personality traits and even feelings, but for the most part they were described in terms of their attractiveness to men. They were all just bangable, almost bangable, or used to be bangable. That was just kind of lame.

Hard to Put Down. I enjoy books like this: short and fast-paced chapters; each ending on a revelation or cliffhanger. I saw some comments about how some readers were disappointed with the ending. It wasn’t what I would have written, but that is where the author chose to take us. I totally respect that. I recommend this book.

Fast Paced Suspense. The Stranger was fun to read, and really kept me guessing. Adam Price was a character I really liked, as well as his two sons, Thomas and Ryan. I was quickly caught up in the story, and found it a very quick one to read. While it wasn't one of my favorites by Coben, I enjoyed reading it and liked the story. Adam Price, attorney, believes he is a happily married father of two. When some shocking secrets come to light, he realizes that his life is not as he thought. After he confronts his wife with her lies, she refuses to tell him the complete story, and then disappears. As her disappearance soon seems to be connected to a couple of murders, Adam tries to unravel what she was involved with, while trying to find her. Although I don't think this was among the best by Coben, I am glad I read it. I thought Adam was a great character, and I enjoyed reading his story, even though I found some of the plot implausible. The story was fast paced and full of action.

Worst one. So disappointing! I love Harlan Coben's books he is the only fiction author I read and up until these past 2 years I've read all of his (non teen series) books as soon as they're released and wait eagerly for the next to come out. This was the first of his I read that I regretted wasting my time and money reading. It was predictable and an extreme let down. I want to read the last two I have yet to read but am starting to think possibly the Mickey Bolitare series has spread himself and his creativeness thin. So disappointed because books like "Gone for Good" and "Tell no One" I've read multiple times and am always referring coben's books to friends really talking up his ability to keep one thinking. So sad maybe it's time to hang up his reads😔

The Stranger. Wow awesome book awesome story I could not put it down! Looking for the next book to read from Harlan Coben

The Stranger. I just finished reading "The Stranger" and loved it. I have read all of Mr. Coben's books. I am never disappointed in his writing and story telling. From the first page to the end, the story has you mesmerized....hard to put down. I have read some of his books in one sitting, not realizing it's the wee hours of the morning. I highly recommend this book, it's well written, lots of intrigue, mystery and twists and turns. Mr. Coben's has the gift of storytelling down to an art. I'll look forward to his next book.

The Stranger. Really suspenseful and intricate. I found, at times, there was a little too much character description and 'mind' searching/philosophy/revelation. I've read all of Coben's books and I particularly enjoy the Myron Bolitar series. All in all I look forward to his next novel.

The Stanger. Good read. The story kept getting more interesting with each page. The ending was a shocker. Never would've figured it out
