About this listen

Marc Seidman awakens to find himself in an ICU, hooked up to an IV, his head swathed in bandages. Twelve days earlier, he had had an enviable life as a successful surgeon, living in a peaceful suburban neighborhood with his beautiful wife and a baby he adored. Now he lies in a hospital bed, shot by an unseen assailant. His wife has been killed, and his 6-month-old daughter, Tara, has vanished. But just when his world seems forever shattered, something arrives to give Marc a new hope: a ransom note.

Both a white-knuckle thriller and a story about the loyalty of old friends and the bond between parent and child, No Second Chance is another masterpiece from an author who writes "suspense at its finest" (Jeffrey Deaver).

I really thought Scott brick ruined this so so book. His characterization were over the top and generalized. I skipped though to the end just to get it over with. Don't waste a credit on this absurd performance.

Horrible narrator

Story took a really long time to tell. Some twists towards the end that I didn't like. Not the worst book of ever read but not the best Harlan Corbin I've ever read either

Longggg story.

First, I enjoyed the listen and do recommend this book. I don't, however, think it is as wonderful as the other reviewers did.

I think Coben is awesome at story development, but is a little shy on the delivery. He reuses adjectives and adverbs often enough I was able to predict phrases before Scott Brick read them. And the drama was a little too heavy for my liking (but that might have been in the reading).

The plot was well developed and somewhat believable, but seemed rather hurried towards the end. The character development was exceptional. After the book ended, though, I felt like I was led through 18 months of the lead characters hell, only to have all of the loose ends tied up way too quickly. Additionally, the twist that is so common in murder mysteries was there ? but it was predictable and weak.

If I hadn?t read so many rave reviews of this book, I probably would have liked it better. I fear I expected too much.

Entertaining and chilling, but not complete

This book was alright but I wasn't impressed
To me it was predictable, it always is the best friend or spouse and you got that 2 chapters into it
First book with this author I'll try another one hopefully it's better
Enjoyed the narrator

An amazing story and so well written! I highly recommend this read to anyone . Mr. Coben is a master.

Excelllent

This story was too drawn out. It could have been told in 8 hours. Surprised, because most of Mr. Coban’s books are direct and straight to the point.

Too long!!

I had to quit reading this book halfway through because it had too much gory violence. I don't usually mind it as I mostly read in this genre but it was too much for me.

Too much vilolence

Love the narration but not my favorite Coben. Felt too slow to get into the meat of story.

Not my favorite Coben

Shaking my head & effectively speechless — I enjoyed almost all of this book’s twists and turns. I devoured the bits of juicy storyline slowly unearthed, bit by bit as the story progressed. Then, in the last, what, 30?, minutes, comes an ending so implausible it made me feel like the whole thing was a waste of my time. Uggggh.

What the …. ?

A great thriller. I Couldn’t “put it down” (or stop listening). Brick is excellent in narrating the story. I feel it is one of Coben’s best thrillers. If you like Coben’s books, you’d love this one.

Another great book by Coben
