Nobody's Fool by Harlan Coben



Just finished Nobody’s Fool at 3 a.m. and I’m still reeling. Screaming. I honestly don’t know why it took me this long to pick up one of his books. This author doesn’t just write stories, he traps you in layered twist, raw characters and shredded emotions kept me hooked to the very end.

Sami Kierce was twenty-one, freshly graduated, and backpacking through Europe when he met the mysterious Anna on a dance floor in Spain. One unforgettable night later, he wakes up in her bed holding a bloody knife. Confused and scared, he reports the 'murder' to the police but with no body and no evidence, they dismiss him as drunk or high.

Fast forward twenty-two years, Sami, now an ex-NYPD detective, is living a life carefully constructed around guilt and regrets. He’s convinced he was responsible for Anna’s death until the unthinkable happens: Anna walks into his classroom. Alive. But she’s no longer Anna. She’s now Victoria Belmond, the same woman who mysteriously vanished twenty-five years ago during the Y2K chaos. Even more unsettling, Victoria remembers nothing from the eleven years she was missing.

Sami needs answers, but the past is far from done with him. With Tad Grayson—the man who murdered Sami’s fiancée—recently released, and a stalker targeting his new family, the shadows from his past begin to close in fast. The mystery he thought was buried resurfaces, more twisted than ever. Each chapter unravels a new layer, building suspense and dread. The character arcs are stunning and the pacing relentless. It hit me so hard when the secret was revealed which exploited my readers' naivety. 5⭐
