Unbelievable, engaging, interesting twist, full of suspense, shocking, boring points, mostly exciting, romantic and surprising.
Overall this was a good read. It was totally out of my norm. I would recommend this book to all. Parts were a little wordy and unnecessary, I thought. There are parts in the book that makes the reader wonder why are these people being introduced in the story or what does this have to do with the story but as the book came to it's climax everyone and everything began to connect and left a WOW factor at the end.
Tell no one begins with David Beck and his wife Elizabeth celebrating their 13th year anniversary at Lake Charmine which they they did every year. They would mark a line on the tree where that stood under for their first real kiss to represent another year. The both of them went for a swim in the lake. As David continues to float, Elizabeth gets out of the Lake. She get attacked after she gets out. David hears her scream and immediately began to swim back to help Elizabeth. Soon as he came out of the water he was also attacked. He was hit over the head, beaten and left for dead. David wakes up in the hospital in serious condition. Once he was coherent enough, his father-in-law and his brother comes to the hospital and tell him that Elizabeth was found dead three days after the attack on the side of the road. They explained to him that they went and identified the body.
Eight years later on the day of their 21st year anniversary David receives an anonymous email that intrigued him and pecked his curiosity. He received others after that and each of them ended by saying "tell no one". There was information included in the emails that only he and his wife would have known. These emails had David in a quandary. He wondered is Elizabeth really dead..........
The book has a jaw dropping ending.

I feel like most books could be cut by at least 50 pages! I like the twists that keep you guessing all the way up until the end. I am glad you enjoyed something out of your realm!
ReplyDeleteYour last line, "The book has a jaw dropping ending," definitely has my attention! I love books that have mysterious notes or communications of any kind that make you question previous events, and contain secrets that would only be known to one other person. That element alone keeps me guessing. Thanks for the annotation.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this annotation! I recommend Coben to people who are looking for suspense, but haven't read anything myself. I appreciate the additional book recommendations!
