For my next blog entry I wanted to discuss a book that I recently finished reading, called Found by Harlan Coben. Harlan Coben is an excellent author who has written a large collection of mystery novels. He also has a young adult series that occasionally connects with several of the regular adult books. Found is a thrilling mystery novel that is part 3 of a series featuring Mickey Bolitar. Mickey is name of the main character (a teenager) who finds himself thrown into a strange world of mysteries after the tragic death of his father. With the help of his two friends he struggles to manage high school while unwinding the web of lies that surrounds his father’s death. One great thing about Harlan Coben's books is that he writes about places near me in New Jersey (which is cool when you recognize them) and he writes characters that you feel like you know. This is particularly true in the Mickey Bolitar books, where you will get to know characters that are exactly like people in your own school. Coben also incorporates crazy twists and turns that keep the reader involved and unable to put down the book. Seriously, do not start his books late at night...you'll be up reading until school starts in the morning!
One more thing: Coben's next stand-alone novel called The Stranger comes out on March 24, 2015 and looks great - and creepy! A total stranger shows up in a town out of nowhere and weirdly knows everyone's family secrets. I'm definitely reading this!
