Any non-mystery subplot? - feelings towards lover Crime Thriller - Yes Murder Mystery (killer unknown) - Yes Is Romance a MAJOR (25%+) part of story? - Yes Main Character Gender - Male All we knew about their relationship was that it had been a fairly short-lived affair in a secluded camp, but that it had still been never-ending love. Until she dumped him and married someone else. Therefore I couldn't really care whether the husband was or wasn't the husband, or whether Natalie was real or fake or whatever. If she had turned out to have been a firebreathing dragon with seventeen heads I probably wouldn't have been interested. Though that may have been more believable that the rest of the plot.

Six Years

Mr. Coben is a superb suspense writer. He wastes few words here and though the reader gleans early the overt reason Natalie vanished, the specifics of that remain tantalizingly out of reach. Everyone Jake talks to, indeed every conversation he has, leads inexorably to the novel’s tense climax. This is one of those thrillers that, as soon as I finished it, I read it again just to see all that, though right under my reading glasses, I’d not understood the significance of the first time around. Six Years is not Mr. Coben’s best novel–my favorite is Hold Tight although many love his Myron Bolitar series–but it’s a well-crafted, exciting read. I haven't read anything else by Harlan Coben, so I can't really say if this is consistent with his other work. I found that although this story is fast paced and an easy read, it's also very compartmentalized. Mystery should surprise you and keep you on your toes, but everything from the generic romantic woes to the ending was very linear and mechanized. I think Harlan Coben's writing seems a little outdated sometimes, and it shows his age (but not necessarily in a flattering way). Do you believe in love at first sight? Neither do I. I do, however, believe in major, more-than-just-physical attraction at first sight. I believe that every once in a while—once, maybe twice in a lifetime—you are drawn to someone so deeply, so primordially, so immediately—a stronger-than-magnetic pull. That was how it was with Natalie. Sometimes that is all there is. Sometimes it grows and gathers heat and turns into a glorious inferno that you know is real and meant to last forever.

But six years haven't come close to extinguishing his feelings, and when Jake comes across Todd's obituary, he can't keep himself away from the funeral.

Whoever the mourning widow is, she's been married to Todd for almost two decades, and with that fact everything Jake thought he knew about the best time of his life - a time he has never gotten over - is turned completely inside out.

He then began writing a series of thrillers featuring a former basketball player turned sports agent, Myron Bolitar, who often finds himself investigating murders involving his clients.Five years ago, an innocent man began a life sentence for murdering his own son. Today he found out his son is still alive. I was surprised by how well the first person POV worked for this book. Where sometimes it can come across as a little one-sided and make the book feel superficial, this time I appreciated it. This POV allowed me to get inside the head of the main character and get to know him, which this made me feel almost like I was thinking through his mind as well and trying to solve the mystery right along with him.

Add in Jude Deveraux and Danielle Steel even though these last two are romance writers. Lol. Mr. Coben’s style though is up-to-date. He has certainly kept up with the times because his narrative is relatable, believable (with the exception of that part where the hero dials certain phone numbers by heart-lol!) and hilarious.
