Don't Let Go: A Novel Paperback – May 22, 2018 by Harlan Coben (Dutton)

This book will you keep you up far too late because inevitably one more chapter will lead to you finishing the book before you finally go to sleep. I love the character of Nap. I know this is probably another one of his one off books but I hope he considers bringing him back. Nap would be a great protagonist for a series. This is the kind of book that you don't want to put down and it's only when you are thinking about what to write for a review that you realize just how far fetched the plot really was. While reading the book none of that will matter. As always I knew Coben likes to insert plot twists so I try to be prepared for them but I did not predict this one. I do wish the ending hadn't felt so rushed. There were still a lot of loose ends that could have been further wrapped up before it ended. I've been disappointed lately by some of my favorite authors so I'm very glad that Harlan Coben continues to write such wonderful novels.

Suburban New Jersey Detective Napoleon “Nap” Dumas hasn't been the same since senior year of high school, when his twin brother Leo and Leo’s girlfriend Diana were found dead on the railroad tracks—and Maura, the girl Nap considered the love of his life, broke up with him and disappeared without explanation. For fifteen years, Nap has been searching, both for Maura and for the real reason behind his brother's death. And now, it looks as though he may finally find what he's been looking for.

When Maura's fingerprints turn up in the rental car of a suspected murderer, Nap embarks on a quest for answers that only leads to more questions—about the woman he loved, about the childhood friends he thought he knew, about the abandoned military base near where he grew up, and mostly about Leo and Diana—whose deaths are darker and far more sinister than Nap ever dared imagine.
