Let me start by saying, Harlan Coben has done it again! Nobody's Fool is a rollercoaster of suspense, mystery, and unexpected twists that had me glued to the pages from start to finish. The way Coben weaves together past and present timelines is nothing short of masterful.

One of the standout aspects of this book is the protagonist, Sami Kierce. He's a former detective turned criminology teacher, and his character feels incredibly real. His struggles, his determination, and his love for his family make him someone you can't help but root for. The scene where Anna walks into his classroom after 25 years? Chills. Absolute chills.

The pacing is impeccable—fast enough to keep you on the edge of your seat but with enough breathing room to let the characters and plot develop naturally. And those twists! Just when you think you've figured it out, Coben throws another curveball your way. The ending? Mind-blowing. I had to reread it just to make sure I hadn't imagined it.

That said, if you're a longtime Coben fan, some elements might feel familiar. The 'missing person who might not be missing' trope is here again, but honestly, it works so well in this context that I didn't mind. The nods to his other books (like Win's building and the Vermeer) were a fun Easter egg for fans.

Minor gripe: The big reveal at the end might leave some readers scratching their heads. It did for me initially, but after sitting with it, I appreciated the boldness of Coben's choice. It’s divisive, sure, but it’s also what makes this book memorable.

Final verdict? Nobody's Fool is a must-read for thriller lovers. Whether you're new to Coben or a seasoned fan, this book delivers suspense, heart, and a finale that will haunt you long after you've turned the last page.
