Six Years

By Harlan Coben

Book Overview

In "Six Years," a masterpiece of modern suspense, Harlan Coben explores the depth and passion of lost love and the secrets and lies at its heart. Six years have passed since Jake Fisher watched Natalie, the love of his life, marry another man. Six years of hiding a broken heart by throwing himself into his career as a college professor. Six years of keeping his promise to leave Natalie alone, and six years of tortured dreams of her life with her new husband, Todd. But six years haven t come close to extinguishing his feelings, and when Jake comes across Todd s obituary, he can t keep himself away from the funeral. There he gets the glimpse of Todd s wife he s hoping for but she is not Natalie. Whoever the mourning widow is, she s been married to Todd for almost two decades, and with that fact everything Jake thought he knew about the best time of his life a time he has never gotten over is turned completely inside out. As Jake searches for the truth, his picture-perfect memories of Natalie begin to unravel. Mutual friends of the couple either can t be found, or don t remember Jake. No one has seen Natalie in years. Jake s search for the woman who broke his heart, who lied to him, soon puts his very life at risk as it dawns on him that the man he has become may be based on a carefully constructed fiction. Harlan Coben once again delivers a shocking page-turner that deftly explores the power of past love, and the secrets and lies that such love can hide. And look for MISSING YOU, the new novel coming from Harlan Coben in hardcover and ebook in March."

Customer Reviews

Kept my attention

Coben is great at keeping your attention and keeping you guessing. I wouldn't say I absolutely love his books based on the few I've read, but I do keep adding more to my library. The twists and suspense moments in this one weren't all that shocking to me and Jake was a bit too obsessed with Natalie. If you're repeatedly willing to die and risk other people's lives for someone you had a summer romance with six years ago, that's a bit unhealthy. I repeatedly thought "What is wrong with this guy?!" But if you kind of ignore that and just focus on figuring out the story, it's a decent read. Didn't love it, didn't hate it.

Six Years

Good book though it was really long. Six years of long winded finding Out what really happened and what the cause of everything that went down. But I did enjoy it. Harlan Coben books always interest me.
