Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the advance copy of this book. I've read everything Harlan Coben has written. He's a great author and this book is no exception. I love the way everything flows together but you're never sure of how it's all going to work out until the end when it finally gets explained to you. Another great read by Harlan Coben.

I loved it!!! What a page turner!!! Book was intense from the first page till the last one. Father, Simon Greene is looking for his junky daughter Paige Greene. He blames her boyfriend Aaron Corval for his daughter to become an addict. When he finally finds her Aaron again make sure that Simon won’t make any contact with Paige. Then boyfriend ends up dead. Who killed him? Why? Does Paige have something to do with it or maybe it was father? Is much, much more than that with more twists and turns, more secrets and lies. I will absolutely read more books by Harlan Coben.

Thank you to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

Another highly entertaining story by Harlan Coben. Fast paced, well plotted. Wrap up very satisfactory.
Love his books!

This book has all of the components of a good thriller. It kept me on my toes throughout, and I was guessing until the end. I did find at times that there were too many plot lines, and the ending felt a bit like a reach. But overall, it was a fast-paced, enjoyable read! Will definitely be finding more of his books!

I know while reading the first page of a book if it's going to be one I can't put down. That's the way it was from the very first page of this latest Harlan Coben novel. This is the story of a family facing one of the hardest things they have to deal with, a drug addicted daughter who has gone missing. This novel is filled with so many twists and turns, murder, cults, sexual assault on campus, you will not be able to put it down... you will not figure the ending out, it will surprise you. Take this journey with Simon and his family, you won't be able to put it down.
Harlan Coben is a master storyteller and this novel proves it again!
Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for approving me for this book.

Thank you to Grand Central Publishing and Netgalley for letting me read Coben’s newest title in exchange for an honest review.

Simon and Ingrid has lost their daughter to drugs and an abusive boyfriend, and can’t find her anywhere. With a little intel, Simon sees Paige performing in a park. When he approaches his daughter, she bolts. With this glimpse of Paige, Simon is more focused than ever on finding her and hopefully bringing her back home. He knows better than to rely on the police so he uses his own ways and means to track Paige down.

Coben, as usual, masterfully layers plots and subplots to create a tasty read. His three-dimensional character sketches let you blame almost anyone in the book for what’s happening. I did not guess the ending and I dare you to try.

Coben is one of my favorite thriller writers and I read all his standalones. Many critics say this is best work yet. I don’t know if I’d say that, but it was darn good.

This is a page turner with a shocking ending!
I was given this book from NetGalley for an honest review -
A family is struggling -
Their daughter becomes addicted to drugs and runs away.
The father begins the search to find her with so many scary things happening in the process
Will he find her? What will he find out in his search to find her?

Having read all of Harlan Coben's books, I'd have to say this might be the best one yet. So many secrets for one family though it was real. I read this in a day and could not put the book down. There were so many twists and turns, and was a quick read! I loved how Hester made a reappearance as the lawyer. Thank you for the advanced copy. Our library will definitely purchase this title.

I just finished Harlan Coben’s new book , Run away.  A real page turner, hard to put down.  Lots of twists and turns all the way to the end.  I would highly recommend this book to all you who-done-it fans out there.  This book is going to be everyones summer must-read list.

Harlan Cohen is one of my very favorite authors. I know that any book that has his name on it will be a good one and this one didn’t disappoint! Thank you @netgalley for the ARC. This book was a thriller from beginning to end. It had many twists and turns that kept me guessing to the end. Delightful! I would definitely recommend it!

Run Away by Harlan Coben is a compelling, very highly recommended domestic thriller and intricate mystery. This one is a fast-moving page-turner!

Financial adviser Simon Greene and his pediatrician wife Ingrid have three children, Paige, Sam, and Anya, and from outward appearances they live a comfortable life. The problem is that they haven't seen their drug addicted daughter, Paige, ever since she dropped out of college and disappeared with her loser junkie/dealer boyfriend Aaron Corval. When Simon is told a friend saw an emaciated Paige playing her guitar and pan handling in Central Park, he keeps an eye out for her, finds out when she plays there, and approaches her after her "set." She ran away from him and Simon follows. When he tries to stop Paige, she starts yelling. Aaron appears, and steps in to stop him, but Simon punches him out, trying to follow Paige. By-standers intervened and Simon is arrested. The whole event was recorded on phones and spun as the evil rich guy beating up a poor homeless guy.

Simon deals with all the attention and legal questions, coming out with no charges, when another cop shows up at his office months later with a few questions. Aaron has been murdered and Paige is nowhere to be found. This sets Aaron and Ingrid on a quest to find Paige and keep her safe from whoever killed Aaron. Simon's search leads him to some surprising, dark and threatening places and contacting people he normally wouldn't. Soon his search for Paige is even more complicated, precarious, and dangerous than even Simon realizes.

Run Away has it all. The writing is pitch-perfect; the plot is complicated, intricate, and fast-moving; the characters are interesting and well-developed. The pages will fly by in this lightening-paced-stay-up-until-you-finish-it thriller. (And I drank an extra-large cup of coffee after work to do just that.) As the twisty mystery unfolds in Simon's search and becomes increasingly complex, it leads to unexpected answers and more investigation. I was surprised at the satisfying final ending. Coben's writing is excellent as is his plot and pacing. I really enjoyed this whole novel right up to the final denouement.

All the characters are well developed and realistic. Simon is a wonderful character - a loving, caring father who would do anything to try to save his daughter. Simon finds himself in the midst of something that is more treacherous than he even knows, but he perseveres, even when circumstances mean he needs some extra encouragement to do so, in order to reach the final answers.

Run Away is an exceptional taut thriller and the perfect choice for escapism!

I was quite disappointed in Harlan Coben’s newest book, Run Away. The plot became so unbelievable and forced. That being said it was fast paced and I read to the end. Just not my favorite read.

Another absolute winner by Coben. He consistently at the top of his game, and this new one is no exception! Stop reading this and go get this book! :)

I have read almost all of Harlen Coben's books and I found myself skimming this one. The plot was fairly predictable and the story quite slow. Hope to see him go back to laster more addictive pace in the future.

First, I want to thank Harlan Coben, Grand Central Publishers, and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

I was very honored when Grand Central Publishers granted me access to review Harlan Coben’s Run Away on NetGalley. Harlan Coben has been my favorite mystery author ever since my Mom let me borrow Gone for Good. That book and Harlan’s writing style blew me away! He had a fan for life with me. Now I look forward to every book that comes out.

Run Away focuses on some difficult issues that many of his troubled characters are faced with. These subjects include death, drug abuse, abusive boyfriends, secrets, rape, violence, missing daughter, cults, etc.

I loved the mystery surrounding to what really happened to missing Paige. I loved the investigation surrounding it. So many gripping twists and turns that you didn’t see coming.

I loved the message in the book how strong a father’s love for a daughter’s love is. How far he will go and what great lengths to save her.

Simon is trying to find his heroin-addicted daughter, Paige. When he finds her, she is high and busking for change in Central Park. When he tries to talk to her, she runs away. Her boyfriend Aaron steps in to prevent Simon from catching her leading Simon to punch him in the face. The story goes viral and Simon is arrested. Thus begins Run Away, the convoluted latest thriller by Harlan Coben.

There is a lot of plot in here. I don’t want to describe it because the surprising twists are the best part of this thriller. Take my word for it, if you like twisty thrillers, you will enjoy Run Away. I took away one star because I figured out the climatic twist chapters before it appeared. 4 stars!

Thanks to Grand Central Publishing and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Things are happening, bad things, are they connected and where is the daughter.
Fragments, a trail, seek and find with parallel search and destroy set in motion and running its course to an inevitable end of two kinds.
Captivating and immersive reading with solid precise writing matching the intensity of the drama unfolding with all the things hidden, lives, wrong doings, unraveling piece by piece, with some good over evil ensuing at a cost.
Many whys and where with two parents with the need for answers hooking you till the end.

This book had me hooked from the first couple of pages! Like an episode of Law & Order SVU in book form. I couldn’t put it down, I had to find out what happened! There were a lot of twists and turns that kept me guessing and also resulted in me finishing it in two days. I liked that it was super entertaining and a departure from the domestic thrillers we see everywhere these days. A perfect change of pace and I’ve been recommending it to all of my friends! Thank you NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for the early review copy!

4.5 Stars! Wow...this book really took me by surprise. What I thought would be merely a father’s struggle to find his drug addict daughter had ended up being so much more. At first I was a little confused with the chapters involving Ash and Dee Dee, but as the story continued to unfold and more connections developed, the pieces of the puzzle finally revealed what was really going on...and it was not what I expected. The end blew me away. I didn’t even come close to guessing the truth behind it all, but secrets always have a way of being revealed one way or another, and I was really impressed by the web Harlan Coben weaved in this story. Definitely recommend and I look forward to reading more from him!

I’ve been of fan of Harlan Coben for many years. His novels are suspenseful and never disappoint. Run Away ranks up with some of his best work. Paige has been lost to drugs when her father decides to try one last time to save her. There are many deaths and much suspense that leads to figuring out why Paige is connected to a cult, secrets have been kept too many years. I’m thankful to the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to be an early reader in exchange for my fair and honest review.
