Sometimes it is very difficult to put into words how good a book really is, "Long Lost" is such a book.

Those of you who red Harlan Coben know how good a mystey writer he is, and he has gone to another level with this book.

"Long Lost" brings back one of my favorite characters, Myron Bolitar. Myron receives a call from Teresa Collins, whom he had an affair with over 10 years ago. Teresa wants him to come to Paris and assist her.

Teresa turns he life, and Myrons, upside down when she explains what has happened to her over the last 10 years. A marriage, a daughter who was killed in an automobile accident, and a husband who has died of Huntington's disease.

The case really turns bizarre when they suspect that Teresa's daughter, Carrie, may be alive.

The action, mystery, and suspense keep building as they try to find Carrie. Myron finds himself killing a major player in the jihadist movement, and is singled out for retribution.

I found myself having a difficult time putting this book down. I read it in two days. It is probably the best book Coben has written to date. It contains all the elements a reader would want in a book, and then some. I doubt very much if any reader will be able to put this book down over the last 100 pages.
