The Innocent

De: Harlan Coben

Narrado por: Scott Brick

Some mistakes can change your life forever. For Matt Hunter, that mistake came in one terrible moment when his attempt to help a friend and stop a fight resulted in an accidental death. Matt was convicted of manslaughter and sent to prison. Time that his peers spent in college, Matt endured behind bars.

Now, nine years after his release from prison, his innocence long forgotten, he's an ex-con who takes nothing for granted. With his wife Olivia pregnant, and the two of them closing on a house in his hometown, things are looking up. Until the day Matt gets a shocking, inexplicable video call from Olivia's phone. And in an instant, the unraveling begins.

A mysterious man who begins tailing Matt turns up dead. A beloved nun is murdered. And local and federal authorities, including homicide investigator Loren Muse, a childhood schoolmate of Matt's with a troubled past of her own, see all signs pointing to a former criminal with one murder already under his belt...Matt Hunter. Unwilling to lose everything for a second time, Matt and Olivia are forced outside the law in a desperate attempt to save their future together.

An electrifying thrill ride of a novel that peeks behind the white picket fences of suburbia, The Innocent is at once a twisting, turning, emotionally-charged story and a compelling tale of the choices we make and the repercussions that never leave us.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"What Coben does best is take readers into his characters’ hearts and minds. His protagonists are just common folks, minding their own business when - bam! - they are drawn into a terrifying world of sordid crimes and mayhem.” (USA Today)

“Modern suburbia unravels in this latest puzzler from Coben...Don’t make the mistake of not reading it!” (Library Journal)

"Jaw-dropping plot twists...Fans of rose-tinted nightmares [will] gasp their way through Matt’s free fall, scared and happy as kids on a roller coaster.” (Kirkus Reviews)

excellent story

loved it. Very hard to put down even at the doctor's office. Kept me guessing all the way

CAN'T QUIT LISTENING..

Absolutely 💯 loved it. Story line GREAT Narrator GREAT This is a must read/listen book!

Coben does it again!

How does Harlan think up this stuff? with all the twists and turns, I couldn't wait to drive so I could see what was happening. I definitely did not see the ending coming!

More twists than an Alpine road!

Hard to put down, super engaging and emotionally charged to the very last page. My first Harlan Coben and I’m a FAN!

meh

I liked this book the least of all of his. The performance was also different. It was melancholy and had a strange cadence to it for the first half of the book. It was a good book still. Just not as good as some of his others. Just a little bit too coincidental also.

another hit!

i thought it was another great story from a great storyteller.. i I enjoyed it very much

One of his best!

Great story with some great twists and turns. I love Scott Brick as well Great one !

Good listen until the epilogue

It was a good listen until the very end when it got sappy.

I would recommend it.

Another Coben classic

So many twists, you'll think it was written by Chubby Checker! Love all of Coben's books and this is no exception.

Great Coben twist
