Our view
“The Innocent” is a twisting, suspenseful standalone thriller from Harlan Coben. Built around a murder and a conspiracy, it keeps its solution out of sight until the final pages. Some readers race through its four hundred pages in a few sittings. With no series to catch up on, it is an easy place to start with the author.
