Product Description:
#1 bestselling author Harlan Coben asks that provocative and terrifying question with his fifteenth thriller. How much do parents really want to know about their kids?

#1 bestselling author Harlan Coben asks that provocative and terrifying question with his fifteenth thriller.

#1 bestselling author Harlan Coben has become an unstoppable force in suspense fiction. His most recent novel, The Woods, spent more time on the New York Times bestseller list than his previous books and sales reached his highest levels to date. His latest page-turner, which is about just how far parents will go to protect their kids, is destined for the top of every bestseller list.

Tia and Mike Baye never imagined they’d become the type of overprotective parents who spy on their kids. But their sixteen-year-old son Adam has been unusually distant lately, and after the suicide of his classmate Spencer Hill—the latest in a string of issues at school—they can’t help but worry. They install a sophisticated spy program on Adam’s computer, and within days are jolted by a message from an unknown correspondent addressed to their son: “Just stay quiet and all safe.”

Meanwhile, browsing through an online memorial for Spencer put together by his classmates, Betsy Hill is struck by a photo that appears to have been taken on the night of her son’s death . . . and he wasn’t alone. She thinks it is Adam Baye standing just outside the camera’s range; but when Adam goes missing, it soon becomes clear that something deep and sinister has infected their community. For Tia and Mike Baye, the question they must answer is this: When it comes to your kids, is it possible to know too much?

- Terror of parenting today
Prominent surgeon Mike Baye and his wife Tia are in mental torment about their son, sixteen year old Adam who has undergone a complete change of character in the last six months. Adam's best friend committed suicide for no apparent reason and Adam has turned into a sullen, unresponsive boy who refuses to talk to his parents or obey any house rules. Mike and Tia are at their wit's end, trying to be understanding parents and hoping that this is just a passing phase. While uncertain as to whether or not to invade his privacy and show a lack of trust by installing a spy system,they decide that they've been forced into this situation and are willing to do anything to protect Adam from himself and anything crooked. It's a gripping book which will resonate with many parents of teenagers today.

- Good but...
This book was good. However, I didn't enjoy it as much as Coben's other books. The drama was engaging but dark and depressing.

- No Title

- HOLD TIGHT - toooo many important characters
I guess I'm alone in my feeling about this book. Although I really appreciate the "prose", it was waaaay tooooo complicated and intersecting for me. The characters, there were many of them, weren't developed enough to be able to remember who was who. If I had been able to sit down and read it from cover to cover in one or two sessions, it might have read easier. As it was I would read each evening and then I found myself having to page backwards to figure out who I was reading about.
