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.

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.
