Harlan Coben’s latest mystery, The Innocent, was a great read. I think he got this book a level higher than last year’s Just One Look, though there are striking similarities between the two. Once again a man is thrown into a catastrophic situation that threatens his life and those he loves by an outsider. Innocent, though, goes for the post-modern anti-hero approach in giving the lead characters more depth than before. I could almost hear Harlan’s mental muscles at certain decision points in the story, all to the good.
