A man with a mysterious past must find a missing teenage girl in this shocking thriller from the number one New York Times best-selling author of Run Away.

Thirty years ago, Wilde was found as a boy living feral in the woods, with no memory of his past. Now an adult, he still doesn't know where he comes from, and another child has gone missing.

No one seems to take Naomi Pine's disappearance seriously, not even her father - with one exception. Hester Crimstein, a television criminal attorney, knows through her grandson that Naomi was relentlessly bullied at school. Hester asks Wilde - with whom she shares a tragic connection - to use his unique skills to help find Naomi.

Wilde can't ignore an outcast in trouble, but in order to find Naomi he must venture back into the community where he has never fit in, a place where the powerful are protected even when they harbor secrets that could destroy the lives of millions...secrets that Wilde must uncover before it's too late.

This book never slows down for a minute. Fast paced, interesting twists and turns, and well written characters. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would love to meet these characters again in a future book.

4 - 4 1/2 star read. The latest book from one of my favourite authors was a very good read. The boy from the woods is Wilde, who was discovered living in the woods as a child. Now an adult, he is asked by his godson Matthew to look into the disappearance of a girl in his class, a girl who was bullied daily in school. Hester Crimstein, a lawyer who has appeared in other Coben books, gets involved as Matthew is her grandson. When the missing girl is found, another student goes missing and Wilde is on that case as well. But the missing boy is tied to a blackmail scheme from the past with famous and people involved and then it gets very interesting. This was a really good read and it ends with the distinct possibility of this being the first book in a new series, which would be terrific.

Excellent book. I'm a writer and can usually spot errors. I didn't see one! The plot, the pace, the "everything"....loved it. Read it in three sittings (life interfers more times than not!). Five stars, for sure! Totally recommend to anyone who loves reading.

This book gave me no doubts that a young boy could servive in the woods for a few years, as he had done, until he was rescued. From that time on, his life daily experiences/challenges as the story goes, kept me in excitement and suspense, was a hard book to put down.

Yet another missing person book from Coben

Does Harlan Coben write any books that aren't about missing people? Every single book follows the exact same recipe. If you've read 2 Coben books, you've read his entire collection.

Sooo disappointing - loved every other Coben book except this one

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 22, 2020

Verified Purchase

This was the first Harlan Coben book which left me feeling really disappointed - I've loved every other one of his books and have eagerly awaited each new publication. However, this one left me cold - the main reason being that Hester Crimstein, who has worked well as a side character in other novels, is given a much larger role in this one and I feel that the character just isn't able to pull it off. It refers quite often to her penchant for witty comebacks but we really don't see much of them - she just tends to be, occasionally, rude without any wit attached. She copies the characher of Win (who doesn't appear in this book), as she answers the phone with 'articulate' (cringy enough when he does it but completely toe curling in this instance). The solution to the plot was also pretty apparent about half way through and just had to slog through even though the big revelation at the end wasn't actually going to be one. The character of Matthew also seemed to just fizzle out at a certain point without any warning. It just didn't feel up to Coben's usual standards - am hoping his recent success in having his books made into series hasn't distracted him and dulled his skills as a writer of novels. Will still read his next one when it comes out but more than a little disallusioned for now.

The boy can go back to the woods and stay there

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 20, 2020

I grew up next to a large woods. Later down the line, after starting this book, I became the boy from the woods with disappointment and buyers remorse. What happened to HC? So many of his books are plot driven with great characters, but this was just sterile. Like every other book with a hero who has a military background and is an outcast. Of course the hero is smart beyond the normal realms of intelligence and good with the ladies. The hero is stacked and take out multiple security guards who also have military backgrounds. What other characters are similar? Reacher, Decker, Bourne, Smoak, etc.

I quit this 25% of the way in. To conclude, this boy from the woods was looking for a great plot and some originality, but ended up thinking one of his favourite authors may have rushed this or just tried something new and not got it quite right.

Absolute drivel!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 1, 2020

Verified Purchase

I used to love Harlan Coben, particularly the early Myron Bolitar books, but this is absolute drivel. Not a single character rings true, and the plot is so bad it is almost funny. Our hero, Wilde, is supposed to be a genius, but does some really dumb things. Terrible nonsense, and I regret reading it to the end. It really did not deserve that respect, and the ending was execrable.

Good but not his best

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 22, 2020

Verified Purchase

I love Harlan Cohen and have read all his stand alone novels. This one falls short of being one of his best as it leaves too many unanswered questions. Maybe he is planning a sequel?
The story centres around Wilde, who got his name because he was found living alone in the woods. No one knows where he came from and he doesn't know his own name. He is found at the back of a property owned by Hester, the other main character. She is a criminal lawyer. Fast forward over the years, the mystery around Wilde has never been solved and he still spends a lot of his time living off grid in the woods. Hester and Wilde team up to try and track down a teenage girl who has gone missing. Some of the story is a little too dragged out, but some of it is classic Harlan. Fast paced, keeps you guessing, builds lots of strands together.
I liked the book, but it isn't one of his best.

When will it be possible to leave no stars???

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 14, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is a bad book. Not just poor, but bad. I used to be a big Coben fan, but the days when I would automatically enjoy one of his books are long gone.

This book is mostly Product Placement with a dull plot thrown up around that framework. The central character doesn’t make sense - he was in some kind of “ex-special forces” but he is a poor shot??? He is a woodsman and yet people track him with no difficulty??? And spoiler alert- this book has nothing to do with being wild in the woods. Nothing much to do with anything at all in fact. And the storyline of the “wild in the woods” boy doesn’t get resolved, and you know what? By now I don’t care.

Even on deal of the day I won’t be reading any more.
