Nap Dumas is a detective in New Jersey when he gets the call that the fingerprints he put into the system on his first day on the job get a hit. His ex-girlfriend's prints are at the scene where a cop is murdered. Maura disappeared fifteen years ago - on the same night that Nap's twin brother and his girlfriend were killed. Finding Maura's prints at this crime scene have stirred up all sorts of emotions in Nap. He never understood why Maura disappeared in the night. And he knows that Leo and Diana did not commit suicide. When another one of his former classmates ends up dead Nap knows that it is not a coincidence. Everything ties back to the high school club that Leo was a part of - The Conspiracy Club. Nap is determined to find out the truth about what happened that night all those years ago. When he finds out that the nearby decommissioned military base is involved he fears that it is not over yet. Will Nap finally be able to find out the truth about that night and put the past to rest?
After all of these years Harlan Coben still knows how to captivate a reader. Nap is one of those "tough guy" characters that Coben knows how to write with such expertise. Nap has one weakness though, his ex-girlfriend. He never was able to move past her disappearance. Don't Let Go has all of the makings of a good thriller. Military spooks, missing girlfriends, neighborhood crazy guys, and more. I really liked his relationship with his bestie, Ellie. Their friendship was forged because of the events of those nights. They were opposites, but I kind of hoped they would end up together. In the end, I was a little shocked when it was revealed who killed Rex, but it did make sense - CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS
Bottom line - I love escaping into a Harlan Coben novel. They are fast-paced, captivating mysteries that sweep you up into the character's lives. Don't Let Go was a great read and the perfect way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon!
