The Innocent - by Harlan Coben
This is the story of Matt Hunter, a promising college student with a bright future. His life is forever changed, however, when he gets in a fight at a party and unintentionally kills someone. Years later, now an ex-con, and despite losing his father, while in prison, and his brother, shortly after getting out, he is putting his life together once again. He is about to move back to his hometown, in New Jersey, with his pregnant wife, Olivia. When she goes on a business trip and he receives a troubling picture and video on his phone, however, once again his life begins to fall apart.
If you are familiar with Harlan Coben stories, this novel features investigator Loren Muse and private detective Cingle Shaker. I am a fan of his books, so I'm a little biased. I found the pace of this book to match his typical gripping style. Even though it was 503 pages, I got through it relatively quickly because I didn't want to put it down. Some may find the plot, as ultimately revealed, a little too complex. For me, personally, though, this is my kind of read.
