Heart-Shaped Box
Heart-Shaped Box is a true spine-tingler. I don’t use that hyphenated word much anymore. We have seen and read it all, haven’t we? But right away, in the first chapter, there was a subtle line that made the hairs on the back of my neck go up in a way I haven’t experienced since I first discovered great horror as a teenager.
Hill writes with a sure hand. The prose is compelling. Like most memorable tales of horror, this book is more about redemption than scary moments—though Heart-Shaped Box has plenty of scares. They are visceral, shocking and very well done. The characters are flawed and real. The father-son relationship adds texture and surprising poignancy.
So here’s the thing. My guess is, you won’t find a ghost to buy online, but if you read the Heart-Shaped Box, you will be getting something that will haunt you and startle you and stay with you and yes, visit you in your dreams.
Sleep well, dear reader.

Cynthia Cooke recommends Tell No One
This book is one of those books that sucks you in and doesn’t let you go until you’ve reached the last page. Full of unexpected plot twists and breathtaking suspense. A keeper for sure!
Jeffery Deaver recommends Tell No One
This is suspense at its finest—gut wrenching thrills and honest, heart-tugging emotion. A big book in every sense of the word, TELL NO ONE speeds along at such a break-neck pace that we have to remind ourselves continually to slow down and savor the writing—and Coben’s marvelous characters
J. T. Ellison recommends Caught
This is my favorite Coben book so far – intriguing, unique and full of earth-shattering twists.
Jaime Rush recommends Tell No One
This was my first Coben book, and I was hooked on his fast-paced, clean writing style and his twists and turns. Highly recommended!
Rick Robinson recommends Tell No One
The audio version of Tell No One will keep you trapped in your car until its over.
James Reasoner recommends Caught
As usual with Coben’s novels, “Caught” has good characters and dialogue, and the ability to make the reader wonder how in the world he’s going to tie together all the different strands of the plot. But he does, of course, in a very satisfying way.
Jessica Speart recommends Tell No One
Coben grabs the reader from the first page and doesn’t let go. I thought I had the plot figured out only to be fooled again and again.
Joseph Finder recommends Tell No One
Coben at his best: an irresistible hook, a great voice, twist after twist after twist.
Andrea Kane recommends Tell No One
Still one of my favorite Harlan Coben books. You care, you cringe, you get tied up in knots, and you guess (wrong!). You’re drawn into David’s life and his pain as if it were your own. Talk about rooting for the ultimate “every man”!
Andrew Gross recommends Tell No One
Still stands as one of my favoite thrillers. You are instantly swept into David & Elizabeth’s lives, instantly feeling you know them, and instantly part of the ache and David’s determination to solve her disappearance. One of the great Everyman heros
