Staying Close: Stopping the Natural Drift Toward Isolation in Marriage

Product Information

We have the usual mix of damaged characters, who are never quite what they seem, and an ending that I simply didn’t see coming at all. These little niggles were ironed out in the epilogue but I have to say that something just still did not seem right, it all felt just a little tenuous to me.

But when a man with potential ties to another missing-person case from — you guessed it —17 years ago disappears, her shiny new life begins to unravel. Jack Broome is the police detective who can't let go of the case that has haunted him all these years, and Megan Pierce is the suburban wife who's "living the ultimate soccer-mom fantasy and hating it. Thinking that Cassie had killed him, Ray dismembered Stewart’s body and threw the parts into the lake in individual plastic bags, all to protect Cassie. The latest series to be adapted from Harlan Coben's addictive novel is now on Netflix and fans are bingeing to their hearts content. And of course, he doesn't know what he's done either, which I think is another brilliant opener for maybe Stay Close 2 – who knows?As well as a classic and gripping storyline, the new thriller boasts an impressive cast of very recognisable faces. There are 20 victim photographs linked to Lorraine on the evidence wall, 18 carnival night victims -one for every year starting with Stewart Green’s murder in 2004 – plus Carlton Flynn and Zain Kaleed, for whose murder she framed Jamal Alade. Hyoie has also lended his voice to video game Star Ocean: Anamnesis and played the part of Enjolras in the West End production of Les Miserables. A flashback sequence begins with Carlton attempting to drug Kayleigh, and how she steals his car keys. Broome takes Lorraine into custody and she admits responsibility for the death of Carlton Flynn, claiming she put his body with the others in the bunker and has no idea why it is no longer there.

Summary and reviews of Stay Close by Harlan Coben - BookBrowse

Or was that just a sick society creating another celebrity to satisfy our bizarre and conflicted needs? I’ll admit that this was a little less domestic than I’d anticipated and the context threw me a little initially. The viewer and the main players think that the story is over, but really it's only Cassie that has that knowledge and that understanding of what her husband did. DI Broome walks in on Lorraine, his lover, mere moments after she killed Ken, and she confesses that she has an annual tradition of murdering abusive men, as revenge on a former partner who caused her to have a miscarriage. Ray used to be a respected photographer but is now reduced to posing as a paparazzi for celebrity experience parties.

Stay Close is an upcoming crime drama that comes from the mind of award-winning author Harlan Coben.

Staying Close: Stopping the Natural Drift Toward Isolation in

Out of the three main characters I found Megan’s backstory the most interesting, the mystery itself is interesting but didn’t grip me enough like he’s other stories. The story of Stay Close, which is about the lives of three seemingly ordinary people being disturbed by a terrible past event, was originally set in Atlantic City, New Jersey. I was disappointed in this book when compared to many of his past books, which I have greatly enjoyed. Grown-up muscular men (like the bouncer, Fester) giving sugary cheesy quotes about romance, gave me diabetes. The one thing detective Broom understands is Stuart visited La Crem, a strip club, on a continual basis.There is still time for one last scene – of Megan’s oldest daughter lying on her bed and toying with a pendant round her neck.
