Six Years Kindle Edition
Six years have passed since Jake Fisher watched Natalie, the love of his life, marry another man. Six years of hiding a broken heart by throwing himself into his career as a college professor. Six years of keeping his promise to leave Natalie alone, and six years of tortured dreams of her life with her new husband, Todd.
But six years haven’t come close to extinguishing his feelings, and when Jake comes across Todd’s obituary, he can’t keep himself away from the funeral. There he gets the glimpse of Todd’s wife he’s hoping for...but she is not Natalie.
As Jake searches for the truth, his picture-perfect memories of Natalie begin to unravel. Mutual friends of the couple either can’t be found, or don’t remember Jake. No one has seen Natalie in years. And soon, Jake’s search for the woman who broke his heart puts his very life at risk as he uncovers the secrets and lies that love can hide....

Editorial Reviews
Review
“With Six Years, the author shows once more how it’s done...furious plot twists...[a] subtle stunner.”—The Washington Post
“While Six Years is certainly a thriller, it is also very much a love story.”—Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
“This is Coben's Vertigo; his masterpiece.”—The Providence Journal
“Don’t wait six years to read what might be Coben’s best since Tell No One.”—Library Journal
“Coben pulls off his patented hat trick of putting one word after another in a way that keeps you looking for that next work until it’s way past your bedtime.”—The Charlotte Observer
“You can always count on Coben for keep-you-up-all-night thrillers, and this one’s no different. It reminded me, in good ways, of last summer’s smash hit Gone Girl, with clever twists and a denouement that’s jaw-dropping.”—The Dallas Morning News

About the author
With over 70 million books in print worldwide, Harlan Coben is the #1 New York Times author of thirty one novels including RUN AWAY, FOOL ME ONCE, TELL NO ONE, NO SECOND CHANCE and the renowned Myron Bolitar series. His books are published in 43 languages around the globe.
Harlan is the creator and executive producer for the Netflix television dramas SAFE starring Michael C. Hall, Audrey Fleurot and Amanda Abbington, and THE FIVE starring Tom Cullen and OT Fagbenle. He is currently filming THE STRANGER, based on his novel, for Netflix starring Richard Armitage, Siobhan Finneran, Jennifer Saunders and Stephen Rea. Harlan was also showrunner and executive producer for two French TV mini-series, UNE CHANCE DE TROP (NO SECOND CHANCE) with Alexandra Lamy and JUST UN REGARD (JUST ONE LOOK) with Virginie Ledoyen. KEINE ZWEIT CHANCE, also based on Harlan’s novel, aired in Germany on Sat1.
Harlan’s novel TELL NO ONE (NE LE DIS A PERSONNE) was turned into the renowned French film, directed by Guillaume Canet and starring Francois Cluzet. The movie was the top box office foreign-language film of the year in USA, won the Lumiere (French Golden Globe) for best picture and was nominated for nine Cesars (French Oscar) and won four, including best actor, best director and best music. The movie with subtitles is now available on Netflix, Amazon Prime and DVD/Blu-Ray.
Winner of the Edgar Award, Shamus Award and Anthony Award – the first author to win all three – international bestselling author Harlan Coben’s critically-acclaimed novels have been called “ingenious” (New York Times), “poignant and insightful” (Los Angeles Times), “consistently entertaining” (Houston Chronicle), “superb” (Chicago Tribune) and “must reading” (Philadelphia Inquirer).
In his first books, Coben immersed himself in the exploits of sports agent Myron Bolitar. Critics loved the series, saying, “You race to turn pages…both suspenseful and often surprisingly funny” (People). After seven books Coben wanted to try something different. “I came up with a great idea that simply would not work for Myron,” says Coben. The result was the critically acclaimed New York Times bestseller TELL NO ONE, which became the most decorated thriller of the year. Two books later, Bookspan, recognizing Coben’s broad international appeal, named NO SECOND CHANCE its first ever International Book of the Month in 2003 – the Main Selection in 15 different countries.
Harlan was the first writer in more than a decade to be invited to write fiction for the NEW YORK TIMES op-ed page. His Father’s Day short story, THE KEY TO MY FATHER, appeared June 15, 2003. His essays and columns have appeared in many top publications including the New York Times, Parade Magazine and Bloomberg Views.
Harlan has received an eclectic variety of honors from all over the world. In Paris, he was awarded the prestigious Vermeil Medal of Honor for contributions to culture and society by the Mayor of Paris. He was won the El Premio del Novela Negra RBA in Spain, the Grand Prix de Lectrices in France, and the CWA/ITV3 Bestseller Dagger for favorite crime novelist in England. On the other end of the spectrum, Little League Baseball inducted Harlan into their Hall of Excellence in 2013, and Harlan is also a member of the New England Basketball Hall of Fame from his playing days at Amherst College.
Harlan was born in Newark, New Jersey. He still lives in New Jersey with his wife, Anne Armstrong-Coben MD, a pediatrician, and their four children.

The good: the book wastes no time getting going, and you’re hooked by the end of the first chapter. Much like Stephen King, Coben inhabits his main characters with a personality that you can relate to so that when things start veering in outlandish directions, you rarely question and just enjoy the ride. Just when you think you know where things are heading, Coben throws in a twist that ratchets up the suspense and makes you want to keep reading.
The not-so-good: I won’t say the “bad”, because I genuinely enjoyed the book. But, now that I’ve ready 5 or 6 of Coben’s books, you pretty much can pick up the pattern. You’ll have a likeable protagonist, something will happen to that person (usually in the first two chapters), and from there you’re hooked wondering what will come next. I say I’ve read 5 or 6 because honestly they start to flow together and the books are not overly memorable once you’ve finished it. When that’s what you want from a book, Coben has proven to be about the best there is. I’m a notoriously slow reader at times, and I don’t think I’ve spent more than a week reading one of his books. Every time I decide to mark a page and put the book down, I wonder if I can find time to read just a little bit more. That’s great while you’re reading the book, but the you realize that when you go to grab another at the library, you’ve got to read the back to try and remember if you’ve read this one or not.
So that is a lot of space spent on the negatives of a book that I rated 4 stars and really enjoyed, right? But, not every book needs to challenge you and make you think. Sometimes it is just fine to grab a book and escape from reality for a bit. When that is what you need, then “Six Years” more than fits the bill.
All in all, Six Years is a fun read, an edge-of-the-seat thriller, but somewhere just past the mid-point I became un-enamored of the high level of violence and the ongoing "coincidences" that waited around every corner. Nobody ... and I do mean NOBODY ... is quite who they seem, and nobody is to be trusted, which Jake is painfully slow in discovering. This book is a decent amount of fun for a rainy afternoon or two, but not one of Coben's best works.
