Just finished #9 (espionage thriller) - The Stranger by Harlan Coben. I enjoyed this book, probably because it was a lot different than I expected. The story was essentially about a suburban dad being caught up in a bizarre situation that turns deadly. I liked the main character, the writing was straight-forward, and the plot kept moving. Worth reading! 4 stars
