Thanks so much NetGalley for the advance copy. I enjoyed reading this book.
When I realised that this was a sequel to Fool Me Once, I have to admit I was sceptical. Sam Kierce in my opinion was not a major character in the first book, although he did play a central role. I have a suspicion this was based more on the Sam K. character in the TV series vs. the book (I don't remember him being Asian in the first book).
We get a bit of his back story - his fiancee was murdered and back in his 20s, he spent some time with a woman called Anna, and woke up one morning to find her dead and a bloodied knife in his hand. Now a disgraced cop, he's teaching a class to a group of Amateur wanna be detectives. One day, the woman he thought was dead came to his class and then ran off. He then begins to unravel what had happened to him all those years ago, and it's a great read.
Love Coben's books - and this will be another hit.
