Book Review of a new thriller by Harlan Coben, the #1 New York Times bestselling author and world renowned storyteller. This is Book #2 of the 2 book series with Detective Sami Kierce whom we first met in Fool Me Once.
Synopsis of Nobody’s Fool
As Nobody’s Fool begins, it has been a year since we met Sami Kierce in Fool Me Once, and Sami’s life circumstances have changed. He has been forced to leave the police department in disgrace and wants nothing more than to put his past behind him. But, somehow the past just isn’t done with him yet!
When Sami Kierce was a young college grad, he and some classmates took the summer to backpack in Spain. While there, he met a girl, Anna, and, when his friends moved on to the next stop on their itinerary, Sami stayed. Several days later, he wakes up covered in blood with a knife in his hand and his girlfriend dead. Panicked, he runs.
Now, twenty-two years later, with Kierce no longer a detective, we find him working as a private investigator. He is now married and has a baby. To make ends meet, he also teaches a class for wannabe sleuths at a night school in New York City. Suddenly one night he spots a familiar face in the back of the room. It is unmistakably Anna. When he begins to approach her, she runs.
Kierce knows he has no choice but to find this woman and solve the mystery that has haunted his thoughts every moment since that terrible day in Spain.
With the help of his students, Sami begins to investigate, because the facts simply don’t add up. It is difficult for him to face the past, but Kierce needs to finally find the truth, and to prove once and for all that he’s nobody’s fool.
Summary
This twisty and stunning thriller is book #2 in the two-book series featuring Sami Kierce.
Netflix has adapted many of Harlan Coben’s novels into TV series. Fool Me Once (reviewed by Sylvestermouse) has already been made into a TV series. It seems safe to say that this novel, Nobody’s Fool, will soon join the series.

Books 1 & 2 of Harlan Coben’s two-book Detective Sami Kierce series
Oh, no! I hate to hear that Sami Kierce is no longer a detective. Of course, that might have been necessary to the plot for him to be able to chase down Anna. Sounds like another great book that will be perfect for another thrilling movie! (thank you for mentioning my review)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to see the Netflix movies made from Coben's Sami Kierce series. Let me know when the movie based on THIS book comes out and I'll go to my son's house to watch both movies. Son has Netflix... :)
