Thief of Camorr

‘Stay Close’ by Harlan Coben is his latest stand-alone (as in, not one of his Myron Bolitar novels) mystery novel. It tells the tale of a few people who are trying to cope in life despite dark things happening in their past, seventeen years ago. We have Megan, mother of two and happily married in a perfect house with a perfect life – yet she’s unsatisfied, unable to move on from what happened. Once she was a ‘playgirl’ in Vegas, in love with Ray.Ray was once a talented photographer, yet now he’s worse than the paparazzi – he only gets to pretend. Hired by the rich who aren’t famous enough for the paparazzi treatment, they hire him to follow them around, calling out pre-planned lines and getting pushed around by equally fake bodyguards.They were both there on the night of a murder, one detective Jack Broome just can’t let go. He still works at it, and so seventeen years later when another man disappears in similar circumstances, he discovers that they weren’t the only two. And it all has to do with a certain holiday.Review continues: http://sentientonline.net/?p=3319
