This was a solid 4-star listen from Coben. I enjoyed getting to continue the story of Detective Sami Kierce, and dig more into his history of alcoholism. At times there was a little too much going on, and it took a while to see the connections between the disjointed plots, but the story came together in the end.

The narrator's tone was quite different from the Kierce I had in my head from the first book, which made it hard to get used to, but overall the narration was good.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Hachette Audio for the opportunity to listen to this ALC in return for an honest review.

What in the world?! Leave it to Harlen Coben. It was a good book with some good characters. Obviously some laughs. I like continuing Sami’s story. I didn’t remember much about him from the previous book, so it was nice to get his story. Quick read.

I was surprised by the narrator. I feel like there is a usual one for Coben books but he does a nice job and he was easy to listen to.

Sam Kierce sees a girl whom he believes he murdered years ago in his class. He sets off to find out what happened to Anna all those years before. This is a good book. Full of suspense. Lots of good angles and stories here that all tie up nicely. This was my first Harlan Coben book. It was a great pick!

Wow this book was great! It was twisty and suspenseful! I didn't see the end coming and then it all just kept coming! I finished it super fast. Definitely read if you like thriller/mysteries.

I don't know what I was expecting. I enjoyed the writing. It was simple and cinematic. I think I enjoyed some of the collateral characters more so than the main character. I could easily see this made into a movie. I was expecting a few more twists and turns to it. However, it was an enjoyable read. I also enjoyed the narrator.

I'm a huge fan of Harlan Coben's books and love that they are suspenseful and keep you guessing the whole time you are reading them. I did enjoy this book, but for some reason it felt like a little of that thrilling aspect of the book was missing. There was some good twists and a very satisfying ending, it just took a little longer to get there with the pace of the middle of the book. I enjoyed the narrator telling this story.

“Nobody’s Fool” by Harlan Coben is a true crime thriller that keeps you guessing. I listened to the audiobook version. The book has one narrator for the MMC, and his voice is nice and soothing, and he does do “the voices” for other characters in conversation to keep it clear. The narrator delivers the performance how I would expect an ex-cop to and loved his performance.

This book follows an ex-cop Sami Kierce who is currently teaching PI classes. He sees a face in the crowd one evening, Anna, a girl that he had woken up next to in Spain during college… her dead and him with a knife on his hands. He begins to chase her. His goal is to find Anna again and find out what really happened. He and his class follow the clues to figure out who this girl is and where she is.

This story is full of twists and turns, but yet it is believable. I was so happy to be along for the ride! I would have finished this in one day if sleep hadn’t called me. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I found it riveting, entertaining, thrilling, kept me guessing, and it kept me invested. I would definitely recommend to those who love thrillers, crime, mystery, PI, or detective novels. This one was amazing!

I’d like to thank NetGalley, Hachette Audio, Grand Central Publishing, and the author, Harlan Coben, for providing me with the ARC of the audiobook for free in exchange for an honest review.

The twists and turns! I never see them all coming (I saw a few here, but not all) with a Harlan Coben novel. This kept me so engaged and on the edge of my seat. I had to know what happened and had anxiety until I found out! It is set up for another book and I will defintely be reading that one too.
Thanks to Hachette, Netgalley and Harlan Coben for an early copy.

Harlan Coben is one of the authors that you know what you are going to get - thrills, twists, intrigue, and, inevitably, a Netflix miniseries. I listened to an audio arc of Nobody's Fool not realizing it was number 2 in a series. I didn't read the first book but, lol, I did see the Netflix show. Sadly, I'm one of those "must read a series in order so as not to feel distracted during a book wishing I knew what happened previously....." But, that's a me problem.

Nobody's Fool was good. Solid. A Coben book.

Will I read number 3? Ah, yeah. Will I also now go read number 1? Of course.

This audio book was amazing I got chills at the end when tad Grayson said what he said at the end. The voice actor did an amazing job. Felt like I was watching the show

Unfortunately this one didn't work very well for me. I didn't enjoy the characters and found the action to be rather too slow to keep my attention. I haven't read a lot of Harlan Coben, though I do like similar thriller authors, so it may just be that his work is not for me and long time fans may enjoy this more.

I love Harlan Coben’s books so I was so excited to get approved for Nobody’s Fool.

This was an unputdownable, exciting and twisty book. I loved the characters, cover, storyline and ending. The narrator was fantastic and easy to listen to. The audio and plot kept me engaged and interested. I listened to this book every spare minute I had!

Thanks so much to NetGalley and @HachetteAudio.

Another great mystery audio book. It was exactly what I was looking for on this busy Saturday.
Sami has a lot of history to unpack. This was my first novel in this series and I think I will definitely be looking to read more in the future.
The narrator did a great job of keeping me engaged.
I received a. ALC of this title. All opinions are my own.

Nobody’s Fool by Harlan Coben

5 ⭐️

I was NOT expecting the twist, WOW. Though I felt like the story moved quite slow and there was some unnecessary dialogue, I found myself invested in the plot.

Sami Pierce thinks he may have murdered a woman and decades later, he sees her alive and well. He decides to find out what truly happened that night sending him in a whirlwind of lies and deception.

Riveting, Twisty, and Utterly Unputdownable!
Harlan Coben delivers yet another masterclass in suspense with Nobody’s Fool! From the jaw-dropping opening scene to the final heart-pounding reveal, this book is packed with intrigue, deception, and twists.

Sami Kierce is a compelling protagonist—flawed, haunted, but relentless in his pursuit of the truth. The mystery surrounding Anna’s "death" is expertly crafted, keeping me questioning everything. Just when I thought I had it figured out, Coben pulled the rug out from under me again.

With razor-sharp pacing, emotional depth, and the signature Coben unpredictability, Nobody’s Fool is a must-read for thriller lovers. If you think you know where this story is going—think again. Absolutely brilliant!

Thank you Harlan Coben, Hachette Audio, and Netgalley for the advanced copy!

Great book. I was hooked from the very first minute until the very end. I never wanted to stop listening, but I wanted...no, I needed to know what happened next.

This audiobook is a thrilling ride from start to finish! The pace is relentless, and just when you think you’ve figured it all out, another twist leaves you reeling. At the heart of it is a tense mystery—kidnapping, disappearances, and the lengths people will go to protect their loved ones. The stakes are high, and the emotional depth is palpable, enhanced by the narrator's gripping delivery.

The story masterfully explores social and wealth divides, making every character’s decision feel consequential. The dual timeline structure adds layers of suspense, gradually revealing clues that keep you guessing until the final page. The narrator’s skillful transitions between timelines only heighten the tension and anticipation.

This fast-paced, unpredictable, and deeply engaging story will have you questioning how far you’d go to protect the ones you love. If you’re a fan of tightly woven plots and shocking twists, this audiobook is guaranteed to keep you hooked from start to finish.
