Caught by Harlan Coben

There are several premises to this latest entry by Coben. One is that a well-liked teenage girl has gone missing. The other is that a well-loved social worker is caught in a sting entrapment designed to catch sexual predators. The two circumstances end up being connected in an unusual way.

I LOVE Coben’s stories and was all geared up to like this one as well. However, something is missing from this story. I’m not sure if it was the convoluted twists and turns of the story that set me back or the characters. It just did not have the same appeal that his other books have had. I did not find myself racing forward to get to the next happening in the story.

And in closing I would say-- if you want to read a mediocre mystery, then by all means add this one to your list.
