The Boy from the Woods -Harlan Coben delivers again!

Ok so this blog is titled FreeWheelin’ Book and Music Safari and so far in 2021 I have not written about any books! The reason I haven’t written  about any of the book I’ve  been reading is that I’ve been writing about my 30-day folk music challenge. However, I have been reading, all be it at a slower pace than typical during the winter months. So far, I have finished three books. I finished The Boy From the Woods by Harlan Coben yesterday afternoon. It’s book number 3 for 2021. The  book is a stand alone novel and not part of…

Don’t Let Go Another Winner from Harlan Coben

Don’t Let Go – Harlan Coben Since I reached my 60 book goal earlier in the month, I have finished two addition books. The first book I finished was Don’t Let Go. The latest thriller from Harlan Coben. The second was Visitation Street by Ivy Pachoda. Both books were really good reads. My take on Don’t Let Go follows: About Don’t Let Go  Don’t Let Go is another fast-paced thriller from Coben. In this episode New Jersey Detective Napoleon “Nap” Dumas…. ….hasn’t been the same since senior year of high school, when his twin brother Leo and Leo’s girlfriend Diana were found…

The Stranger- Harlan Coben Thrills Us Again!!

The Stranger – Harlan Coben Book 27 of 2015   In 2001, Harlan Coben‘s first stand alone thriller Tell No One was released. I read the paperback version in November of 2002, it was terrific and since then I haven’t missed one of his thrillers! There are few authors, who can take an ordinary person, and turn their world upside-down like Harlan Coben. He does just that in his latest thriller The Stranger. Adam Price is living the American dream in his wife’s hometown of Cedarfield, NJ (While locales in Coben’s books are typically real, Cedarfield is a fictional town!). . He…

  So it has been a long time between Books No. 31 and 32 for 2013. One of the reasons is that I have  been listening to too much music late into the night and that cuts into reading time. Another reason is, no books have enthralled me recently!. I am currently reading James Rollins latest The Eye of God. I am a little more than halfway through it. While I have been enjoying the book. It hasn’t been a  real page turner  for me. Duh! That is exemplified by the fact that I’m still reading it! Now that lack of enthrallment ended…
