The bestselling author and creator of the hit Netflix drama The Stranger explores the dangers of obsession in this #1 New York Times bestselling masterpiece of modern suspense.
 
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....

Six Years. Amazing! Each book is better than the last! Hate when it ends! Keeps you guessing... You're almost always wrong! Great read!

SIX YEARS. BY W.L.C.G. GREAT READ BY THIS STORYTELLER...A FIRST FOR ME BUT WILL READ MORE OF HIS BOOKS.. MOST ENJOYABLE PAGE TURNER, FULL OF SUSPENSE AND INTRIGUING .....

Grannyrat

Wait sixty years. I wish I had not bothered to download this poorly written, badly conceived, and inconceivable book. Don' waste your time.

Steph802

More of the same. A couple of times I thought I was reading the book for a second time- way too similar to other books.

Pipers2004

Six years. Pure garbage.

Peg1gy

Six Years. It was ok. Kept my interest but nothing learned and nothing new.

Merry go round. So repetitious. Save your money

BikerfromCLT

"6 Years" by Harlan Coben. Fast read with lots of surprises that kept me on the edge of my seat! A bit schmaltzy and predictable ending, but overall thoroughly enjoyed this book!

FrostfireSniper

This guy came to my school heritage middle. Yay

MJ845

Another great book. The writing is great as always, the only downside is the expensive price for an e-book.

Pickle_4182

Perfect book for me. For being a 20 year old who is obsessed with Lifetime Movie Network, I was right away drawn in by the title and the price. I thought this book was great and kept me interested the whole time. I actually read the whole thing in one day! My first book I've read by this author and I will definitely be reading more! Very talented.

Sacooper

A good read. This was a page turner. Not major literature but something to sink your teeth into all the same and I thoroughly enjoyed the fiction.

ERNOBATYAM

LOVED. Having never read any of Harlan Coben's books, I was recommended this book as a must read. I loved its twists and turns, even though at times it got a little too wordy. He is an excellent writer who paints his characters so true to life that by the time you finish reading, you feel like you know each one. I highly urge people to read this book!!!!

Simple Mystery

Six Years. Very fun to read. Captures you to keep reading but not overly complex or too heady. Really enjoyed it.

Syalalabelle28

Just plain. When i purchased this, i have high expectation based on the review and praises given by readers, however, after finished reading it (half scheming the book), i think the book was just simply plain and bad. The twist is not really a twist. Readable but not impressive.

Cntorbus

Meh. Decent plot, horrible writing.

Ohyeahfun

Slow at first but great after that. I am a huge Harlan Coben fan but it had been awhile since I read another one of his books. The story line was great but it took far too long to get into the meat if the story. Normally for me, HC holds me from the first page to the last. This one not so much. It wasn't until the last half before it became a real page turner. I did enjoy it but not as much as earlier works by HC.

LibbyRN1

Dull. The narrator's voice did not match the character. The character - for an ex-bouncer - was lacking a backbone. This was a story line with great potential but flopped in intrigue.

Turnkey81

six years. Great book. Very suspenseful and hard to put down

Tiffanik@ble

Phenomenal Read. I really could not put this book down. It held my attention from start to finish. If you crave a mystery you must read this!

Flapidot

Real, compelling, twisting, and turning! Great!. Highly recommend.

Seymourdequeen

Stupid book.... I usually can't wait to get my hands on Coben's next book, but this was just pitiful! Hardly better than a bad bodice-ripper...I'm embarrassed to say I read it to the end. Don't waste your money!

Romantic mystery thriller gone wrong. This is my first and last time reading from this author. The first few chapters started off intriguing enough, but then it went downhill from there. I found myself skipping chapters and skimming the book (which I never do!) I just wanted it to end and felt cheated at the end. None of the chapters felt related and I find it hard to believe how the main character can pine for someone for six years after dating them for three measly months. With the end of every chapter, the plot got even more confusing. I know it's a mystery, but there were times where I lost track of what the hell was going on. Jake was obsessive and annoying!

Thomas Jenkins

One too many. Harlan has gone to his trick bag one too many times. The wrap up is far too fabricated. Find a new vehicle big guy.

Mikekoll

Long Dull Read. Too much commenting on the ordinary. Made the book tedious.

JCalfee

Six Years. Great read, page turner.

Kaykaybean13

Exciting and captivates the reader from the start. Enjoyed the book and the unraveling of the story. Many twists and turns that were surprising and overall was a great read!

Maija7

Not Myron This time but Great!. I downloaded this book, and never put it down. It is a page burner.One of those books that a rainy day or sunny day on the beach is perfect for. I cannot put down a Harlan Coben novel, just can't do it. Not Myron Bolitar, but a great book. Thank you again for the good Story!

Cute gamesss

Great book. Kept me reading finished in two days

Chobbs8485

Meh... The main character spends about 80% of the book going on and on about how Natalie is just the most amazing, incredible love of his life. It got boring at times and I would skim through. It has some okay plot twists but the main character just isn't a believable character and he's almost stalker-ish in his love for this girl he had a summer romance with 6 years prior. Move on with your life man!

Malina71

Six Years - easy read. It's a good story, likeable hero, hard to put down. I read it in 3 days and enjoyed it.

TNT 43094

Great Story. Another great book by Coben

CynthiaDorrego

Totally hooked. This book has been the best thriller I’ve read in a while. I simply could not put it down. I found myself always wanting to keep reading, and I found it a little funny as well! Highly recommend!

Oklahomareader

Six Years. Silly and unbelievable plot. Repetitious. The MC, his friend, and the dept. secretary were somewhat interesting characters, but the plot was so sappy moony lost love, the whole thing was totally off-putting. This became my waiting room book, for when I was so desperately bored I would read anything.

Mark Alton

Six Years a Winner. It has been a long time since I read a book that I found hard to put down. Six Weeks held my interest from beginning to end. When a book takes me only 2 days to read, it is clearly a winner!

Matt1859

Interesting. An interesting story. Idea is good even if the execution is a little slow.

Gary43

Weak plot.. Not a very good read.

Ash_s18

Wow. What a page turner! You will not be able to put this book down.

Elderbob2

Great book. I just read it for the second time. Great book. I just read it good the second time.

Armysargent

Kept me on my toes exciting read.. Thank you!

Back 2 square 1

You have got to be kidding..... Way too corny - a wanna be romance novel. Save your time and your money.

Mconne

Six Years. I've read a number of Harlan Coben's books and although not my favorite author I have generally enjoyed them. This book however, was pretty bad. I have never witnessed such a wussified protagonist in anything I've ever read. I finished it because it was kind of like not wanting to see yet wanting to see a traffic accident. I'll give him another try down the road. With his track record the next one can't be this bad.

LocoMichael

Very good. This was one of his best for me. Can't wait for his next book.

Jalisa850

Great book. Some fluff in the beginning. Book could of been shorter but a great read .

Mngspace

Slow. Good read but slower than his otherstuff

Kali0312

Amazing plot. I love this author and his natural gift to carve out relatable, yet distinct characters. Loved how intricate the plot was and how you had just enough clues to keep you guessing without growing frustrated or bored. I definitely recommend this book!!!

RFcamper

Six years. Suspenseful…couldn’t put it down.

Buddybuddy86

Great!. A thrilling ride and a surprisingly romantic story.

Feral cats

Six Years. Filled with suspense and twists, Six Years, harks back to Coben's earlier books that encompass a real life situation. Professor Fisher is a larger than life superman but at the same time a lovable character. Overall, a good read!

Not his best. By a long shot. Chick Lit beach read at best. And I've read them all.

MitchZ97

Awesome book. I don't read many books, but every now and then I will get in the mood for a book or two. I've never heard of the author before I bought this book. I'm very pleased to say that this is an amazing book. I really enjoyed it. I would always find myself reading it every chance I got. Great book and really looking forward to other books by this author.

Pullnleather

Six Years. Great book! You don't come across mysteries this well written often these days. Cerebral yet intuitive. I loved it.

Ajajdkskskskskdc

Good. Good read

Bkmms101

Wow, bad. This was the first book I read by this autor. I can't get over how bad it was; from the writing to the plot to the character development. Waste of money and time.

13birmans

Can't wait for the movie!. From start to finish this book is a page turner that keeps you guessing. Characters are well developed, however we see that development unfold as the story progresses. Readers are initially confused, just as the main character is, with more understanding and insights as Jake gains them. Loved the book and will read more of this author!

Majestapatterson

Kept me on my toes. Great book, kept me on my toes every step of the way and was glad for a satisfying ending- not to give it away. I love HC.

Millbob2006

Disappointed. This book was not what I was expecting at all. Seriously, some ex-bouncer turned college professor is so obsessed with the object of his 3 month long college summer fling that he single-handedly goes after the mob while knowing he is putting this girl he supposedly loves more than life itself at risk of being killed? He is warned over and over that by searching for her he may get her and numerous other innocent people killed yet he just can't let it go. They were together for 3 months, he never met any of her family, knew very little about her, and she ends the relationship abruptly by telling him she is marrying an old boyfriend - and get this - the next day! Plus she invites him to the wedding! At the wedding she tells him to promise to never look for them and just leave them alone! Harsh! Then he waits 6 years to look for her. He sees an obituary for the man she married, who had to be at least 20 years her senior, and suddenly decides to start his own investigation into what happened to her. Completely unrealistic and obviously written by a man. Very unbelievable, poor plot, and a waste of my lazy Sunday.

Mahantongo

six Years. Contrived....Obvious....Boring

Ragdias

Good but disappointing end. The book is intriguing and self paced (read in 1,5 days) but.. The ending was disappointing. Mixed feelings

Paintponyfan

Missing Something. I've been an admirer of Coben's writing since I picked up his very first book; the next one always better than the prior one. But I find this book to be sophomoric: was the author pressured to meet a deadline? Has he saturated the market to the point that it is now about meeting demand / making sales rather than creating a literary work of art? I could almost sense the author's hurried state in the story as I read it. Disappointing.

Mrsm4ck

Couldn't put it down. This was a great read! It became a tad confusing around chapter 27, but smoothed out in the end. Full of suspense, action, and romance. I will buy more of his books.

Uprise24

Harlan Coben AKA JAMES PATTERSON. Let me be clear here...Harlan Coben has been one of my favorite for years. I actually pre-ordered his book, which I never do, because I knew if he wrote it, it was good. AHA! There's the catch....there's no way he wrote this book. It's just like when james Patterson sold himself out and put his name on anything. This book flat out stunk. It was so bad that a) I fell asleep 2 times trying to read it and b) I flipped ahead from page 500 something to the stupid, asinine end and I have never before done such a thing. To tell the truth, I just go directly to Delete. This was juvenile, stupid and downright silly. One of the worst books I've ever read - because I never finish lousy books. This was hours of my time I'll never get back. What a betrayal. Do not spend your money on this fake, silly trash. Signed, A Disappointed and Vengeful reader:(

LucyinPompano

Six Years. Read it in two days. Was not my favorite of his books,but I enjoyed it.

Latifac

Loved this book. This book is amazing, it's definitely a page turner.

Fernwood Babby

Six Years. Too convoluted

GlassOnion1

Page Turner. Good book a little short but still pretty good.

Try to be helpful

Six Years. I was very fed up with the supposed "hero" of this lackluster story. Get over yourself! Melodrama is the right description. Skip it.

Curlie Queue

Not his best work. Too many inconsistencies. Not enough character development.

Taskmaster66

Six years by Harlan coben. Great read, great plot, character very believable... Highly recommend!! Cheers

Cmackinnon

Good read. First read by Coben for me. I really enjoyed it. It grabbed my attention from the very beginning and there was plenty of mystery there to keep my attention til the very end.

Katieashmore

Great read!. Keeps you interested, has a few great twists, and I was happy with the ending.

3R3Z

Nine hours. I admit it - I first heard of it when Hugh Jackman entered negotiations for the lead, Jacob. I bought it on iBooks and read all 637pgs in a single night. Having seen Hugh Jackman in many films, it really helped visualize the whole thing...but what matters to me is that it was worth visualizing... Are you punishing yourself for something? Take a step back....READ IT. IT IS GOOD.

Hunter_97

Lame. Forced, sophomoric, uninteresting, and painful. Enough said.

Inurfacecase

Awesome!!!. Definitely a good read! Kept me wanting more!!!!

Dancerandncislover

Amazing!. I don't know what the guy who said he was in chapter 13 and no sight of mystery was taking about... In like 6 or 7 is really when the book starts making you guess and wanting to know what happens next! But from the very beginning its very interesting and leaves you with questions! I only read books that are mysteries and sometimes they get boring and I just stop reading them but this one! I read in 3 days!! So good!

EMORY SHIVER

six years. I have avoided reading Corban until this book. Now I'm glad I have. This book was a huge waste of my time and I will never buy another by him.

101x!!!!!

Interesting and anticlimactic. Yes, you'll snag a clue that makes you feel like you're on to something good, but its revealed too soon and the story ends with a sparkler. Predictable, expected.

ProfessorFL

Excellent.. Top rate mystery, read it in one sitting, couldn't put it down.

HectorSalazar

Overrated. It's ok, but not great. An easy read for a lazy Sunday. Somewhat forced, can get lost into many details, some passages are too long and even boring to the point you just want to skip a few pages. Like I said, it's ok, but not great.

Beachside traveler

Overrated. Disappointed. Uninspired dialogue. Simplistic. Interesting story though, but where is the Myron bolster writer we all know. Though not a Myron novel, it just doesn't have creative panache!

Game Princess

Ridiculous. I've read most of this author's books. This book has the most outlandish, ridiculous plot ever. This book is so CHEESY. I'm very disappointed with my purchase.

Ewierd

Couldn't put it down.. I finished this book in two days. It was great.

Diver Jack

Engaging read. Downloaded the book and didn't put it down until I had finished it. The chapters flowed easily as this romantic mystery played itself out. Great beach or rainy day read...

Copperanne

Amazing book.... This book was awesome! I will say it is a little slow to start (I was unsure in the first few chapters if it was worth $15) but once it picked up (right around chapter 7 or 8) I couldn't put it down! Definitely one of my favorite books this year...I cried at the end!

ERett

Spoiler Alert, not cool. Let's keep our "spoiler alerts" to ourselves, please!

JhjjhsMom

Sad when it was over..... There is something about a book that is this good that makes me sad when I've finished it. I enjoyed the story, the characters and although some may say they figured it out - I like to let the story teller have the story evolve. I laughed, and found parts very suspenseful. Good Job Harlan! My only complaint is that I don't have another book of yours to read because I've read them all!! :)

Mojombo12::

Another winner. Once again..I flew through a Harlan Coben book...no matter how hard I tried to read it as slowly as possible...I could not put it down. Now, I am at the, "Great, now what do I read?" stage, and that is what I like least about Harlan Coben books. I read them too darn fast because I can not put them down! Arghhhh...now I have to wait another year...sigh...

Runnindeb

Six Years. This book is soooo cliche. Definitely not one of Harlan's best efforts.

Not this one!

Six Years. Seriously??!! Was this Harlan Coben or Danielle Steele? MELODRAMA deluxe! SOOOOO disappointing.

Chestersdad

Don't waste your money. It rambles on with meaningless details. Starts and stops in keeping my attention. I'm 100 pages in and have to quit. Just not well written. Reminds me of a high school paper where there isn't enough material to fill the required word count.

TANdrews3

Excellent!. A true page turner!

Palmetto Jeff

Six years. Classic Coben from start to finish. I have read them all and have to say that Six Years is smooth. Like a vintage wine. It just unfolds with a symmetry and ease that belies its brilliance. What Six Years lacks in shock or gore it makes up in design and insight. One of his best, if not the best, works.

Wsandersws

Six years. Convoluted. Just awful! I've read a lot of other Harlan Coben books. This one was the worst by far!

Kile Ozier

Dance:10 Looks:3. This book plot is excellently conceived and designed, though very poorly written. Wait to purchase it when it's under five dollars.

Peter 14

Read It!. Fast paced! Suspenseful! Interesting plot! An enjoyable read!

2than

Pretty awesome!!. I've done this book in just a few days. During reading, I really immersed myself in the story and amazed by author's genius. Pretty awesome!!

David Martin

Amazing!. A page turner at best. Kept you on your toes. An interesting story finished with an unexpected twist.

Reacher fan

Wow. A wonderfully written witty mystery and love story. Bought this to while away some vacation time and ended up finishing it in two days. Great book.

Mark Lewis

Great read!. Couldn't put it down.
