But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. I’ll give you a recap of the plot line: David Burroughs is convicted criminal, serving life sentence at maximum security prison for killing his three years old son Matthew.

David is five years into serving a life sentence for the horrible crime of murdering his three year old son Matthew. First of all, let’s get the fact that I love Harlen Coben’s books out of the way and admit I’m probably a captive audience with this one! His most recent adaptation for Netflix, Stay Close, premiered on December 31, 2021 and stars Cush Jumbo, James Nesbitt, and Richard Armitage. I was spurred on for David and Rachel to fight the good fight, turn the tables on the awful privileged rich folk and solve this heinous crime.He doesn't remember doing it, but he had been known to sleepwalk and he had been drinking, so there's definitely doubt. And David is serving a life sentence in a maximum-security prison for the brutal murder of their son. So even if I didn’t wield the weapon that smashed my son’s beautiful being into the mangled mess I found on that awful night five years ago, I didn’t stop it either.

They act like a really annoying, irritating comedy duo and some of the dialogue that zips back and forth between them - yikes, does it ever jar. A major theme was that their work as an agent wasn't done once they sold a house, but rather just started because now they were invested in their clients lives, which was true as their clients stories kept developing and our characters had to manage these new challenges.Coben's books often feature fathers with lost children, and though this is a little predictable, it's a theme that tends to emotionally resonate and makes you root for the protagonist. What she has to say will spur David to emerge from his languor and fight for his son and his freedom. This is a feel-good drama you can watch to unwind after a long day to destress, or watch an episode here and there in between daily life. Five years ago, David and Cheryl Burroughs woke to find their three-year old son Matthew brutally murdered in his bed.

Now with his life on the line, FBI officers breathing behind his neck, David starts his life- death marathon against the ticking time. This would be a life sentence no matter what, even if I hadn’tbeen arrested and tried and convicted. Overall, as far as action-packed suspense thrillers go, Harlan Coben’s I Will Find You does not disappoint! Yes, but also (as I discovered) great for late nights when you can’t sleep and you just want something light and diverting to focus on until sleep drags you away. When I initially read the synopsis, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to pick this book up until a later date.Every character has his/her own flaws, story and challenges, and this drama has carefully developed the characters and help them grow to meet and overcome their hurdles. Though this may not have been a favorite of mine from one of my go to authors, I still enjoyed the OTT ride! After a trusted friend went in first and assured me after the first few chapters, the heaviness of that aspect in the plot is moved to the back burner, I decided to give it a go. The main character is good, and I can see Tom Cruise playing the part, if it ever comes to be adapted for the screen. It's just a super compelling action thriller that moves between a man wrongly convicted of killing his three-year-old son and the FBI agents on his tail.
