My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

The Woods by Harlan Coben

I enjoyed this mystery thriller very much.  Coben weaves an engaging tale of a prosecutor trying to convict two rapists, who suddenly is thrust into a murder investigation linked to the murder of his sister and her friends decades earlier.   Add in an ex-lover who is getting disturbing messages and you have a wonderful complex novel that is difficult to predict.  It’s a fast-paced read that’s well-written and structured exquisitely.  I don’t have much more to say except this is why I read this author and why I’ll be returning to him in the future.  Grade: A-
