Six Years / Harlan Coben / 351 pages

In this standalone novel from the creator of the Myron Bolitar series, Coben reveals the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Natalie Avery who is Jake Fisher's true love like peeling away the layers of an onion.  Fisher makes a promise to Natalie who suddenly marries another to stay out of her life. He keeps the promise for 6 years until the obituary of a Lanford College alum appears on the homepage of the college website.  There are plenty of twists and turns to keep you turning the pages as Jake who has thought of Natalie every single day of his life for six years digs deeper and deeper into her disappearance because he fears for her safety.  I must say the reader will have to suspend belief at times that any normal person would go to such lengths or remain so in love with someone who has not been in his life for six years but  I kept reading and you will too!
