The Match by Harlan Coben
I’d read The Boy from the Woods some time ago, so I was delighted to be given an ARC of The Match (Wilde #2). I knew I would enjoy it and I certainly did.
Wilde is an enigma of sorts, found as a small child wandering in the woods; why, what had happened, where were his parents and so on? This then, is the basis of the story as Wilde tries to find answers to these questions. He reaches out to DNA sites.
Amongst this search, there is murder, mystery, suspense and so many questions. I will admit that I was confused while trying to work out how certain ‘blood ties’ were possible, but then maybe I’d missed something? However, it was an interesting and intriguing look into how ‘finding relatives’ was possible these days.
I loved the writing style, as always – fast-paced with an easy flow. I liked Wilde because he is such an honest, worthwhile person despite his origins, and it was also good to see other familiar characters. There are plenty of twists and turns as the mystery builds and I really enjoyed this.
Not one to give spoilers, it’s difficult to say much, nevertheless, I loved this story – the writing, the plot and the pointers to today’s complicated world and possibilities. It’s a great crime thriller but with so much more going on. Definitely engaging and entertaining.
Highly recommended.
