About this listen

In this stunningly twisty thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Harlan Coben, a secret from former Detective Sami Kierce's college days comes back to haunt him. His memory is clear, but all these years later, the facts don’t add up…which is something he cannot ignore.

Sami Kierce, a young college grad backpacking in Spain with friends, wakes up one morning, covered in blood. There’s a knife in his hand. Beside him, the body of his girlfriend. Anna. Dead. He doesn’t know what happened. His screams drown out his thoughts—and then he runs.

Twenty-two years later, Kierce, now a private investigator, is a new father who’s working off his debts by doing low level surveillance jobs and teaching wannabe sleuths at a night school in New York City. One evening, he recognizes a familiar face at the back of the classroom. Anna. It’s unmistakably her. As soon as Kierce makes eye contact with her, she bolts. For Kierce there is no choice. He knows he must find this woman and solve the impossible mystery that has haunted his every waking moment since that terrible day.

His investigation will bring him face-to-face with his past—and prove, after all this time, he’s nobody’s fool.

Editorial Review

Will he find redemption, or will his past destroy him?
This is one of my most anticipated books of the year. Fans of Fool Me Once, whether you devoured the book or binged the Netflix adaptation, are in for a treat as Harlan Coben returns with the sequel Nobody’s Fool. Picking up a year after the shocking events of the first book, this novel plunges into the tumultuous world of former Detective Sami Kierce, a man struggling to outrun both his past and his tarnished reputation. I am eager to see how Kierce’s story unfolds. Will he find redemption, or will his past destroy him once and for all? If Coben’s track record is any indication, Nobody’s Fool will be a gripping, edge-of-your-seat ride filled with high-stakes drama and the kind of storytelling that keeps you guessing until the final page. —Dawn G., Audible Editor

Had to return.

the over dramatic reading was very distracting. Extremely hard to follow. I felt like I was watching an old Mike Hammer type movie.
I love Harlan Coben so I'll just read this one.

So Good

Really like this new book by HC. Lots of great writing, humor, sarcasm & wit, characters easy to connect to. The premise for the book revolves around a flawed ex cop that so many still like and admire. The past and the present flowed easily as needed rather than chapter by chapter. Overall the story and subplots were intriguing and discovering the truth was intense and unexpected.

Narration was good. Characters had their own distinct voices, except some of the female students were a bit off which was distracting.

Loved it!!

Kept me guessing and didn’t see the end coming. Very well written but also the performance was great. The epilogue was the perfect end.

Complex Story

Some might say this is a story of many twists and turns. I’d say it was a story of surprise as the story unfolded.

Good story, Terrible Narration

The story was great aside from it being somewhat predictable. I was disappointed when I saw Vikas Adam was the narrator. Adam’s performance takes focus away from the story and I nearly returned the book.

Good.. but

The good... The story is fun, the iconic Coben twists and turns are in full effect, the wild story seemingly happening to the average Joe, it's there and well done.

The not as good.. It felt like Mr. Coben was writing for a screenplay not a book. Like he was writing it with the thought in mind that this will be the next one of his on Netflix.

The pretty close to bad... the narrator was not for me. Their female voices were bad. I've read other reviews saying the females all ran together, I think in part, at least for me, this was because of the voice performance. Anytime there was "action" the voice acting was bad. Anytime there wasn't "action" it was meh at best. It almost made me miss the over acting of Scott Brick on some of Coben's previous offerings.

Side note of meh: The lead's Pakistani heritage only pops up at random moments, it has so little to do with who the character is as a person it feels almost like a token at times. Though -- silver lining thank whomever directed the audiobook, they didn't allow the reader to try an accent, of any kind. Jersey, Pakistani or otherwise.

I've read all of Coben's books, I will likely read the next (and the next), I hope they reassess the voice for the next one.

meh

Usually love HC. This book.... not so much. lots of references relating to earlier HC books - usually I like cross references to his other books but this time it felt like product placement in a movie - unnecessary and didn't add anything. I enjoyed the overlapping story concept but the execution was convoluted and distracted from each storyline. And there were no plot twists - at least no obvious ones. Finally, the beginning dragged on and the ending felt rushed.
