Fool Me Once by Harlan Coben is a spellbinding thriller that masterfully weaves a tale of deception, suspense, and dark secrets. The story centres on Maya Stern, a former special ops pilot, still grappling with the recent traumatic events of her husband Joe's murder. Just when she starts to regain a sense of normalcy for her and her young daughter, the unthinkable happens. Maya is checking her nanny cam footage and sees something that shakes her to her core — her husband, Joe, alive and well in her living room. But how can this be possible when she witnessed his murder? This sighting sets off a chain of events leading Maya on a relentless quest to unravel the truth behind Joe's death and the chilling footage.

What follows is a twisty, heart-pounding journey that will keep you guessing until the final page. Maya soon discovers that nothing is as it seems, and every revelation brings her closer to a dangerous and startling truth. As she dives deeper into the mystery, she realises that dark secrets from both her past and Joe's may hold the key to the baffling enigma she faces. Trust becomes a fragile thread as Maya is forced to question everything she knows, including her own sanity.

Soon to be a hit Netflix series starring Michelle Keegan, Adeel Akhtar, Joanna Lumley, and Richard Armitage, Fool Me Once is a gripping narrative that showcases Harlan Coben's unmatched storytelling prowess.

For readers who love an unputdownable thriller, Coben, the international number one bestselling author of Tell No One and The Stranger, delivers once again with this electrifying read.
