About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

He is known as Wilde, the boy from the woods.

Discovered living a feral existence in the Ramapo mountains of New Jersey, he has grown up knowing nothing of his parents and even less about his own identity.

Until now.

When a match on a DNA database puts him on the trail of a close relative - the only family member he has ever known - Wilde thinks he might be about to solve the mystery of who he really is.

Only this relation disappears as quickly as he's resurfaced. Undaunted, Wilde continues his research, becoming caught up in a secret community committed to exposing anonymous online trolls.

Then one by one, people start to die, and it soon becomes clear that a serial killer is targeting this secret community. And that the next victim could be Wilde himself.

Couldn’t stop listening to this one

I think the Wilde series is Coben’s best yet! Highly addictive and brilliantly narrated. Can’t wait for the next one.

Kept me guessing

Usually I figure out the plot and have to plough through the last bit of the book already knowing largely what is going to happen.

This wasn’t like that. I highly recommend the book to those who like to be kept on their toes!

Excellent all-round.

Interesting story. Topical content.
Narration was excellent. Did a great job of a range of voices - and I'm pretty fussy about Narrators I choose to listen to.

Loved it the whole way through

Harlan does it again. I love how he keeps you on your toes all the time. The depth and descriptions of his characters are brilliant. You should read/listen to the boy from the woods first to get context. This is probably my fav book of his. So easy to listen to with a great narrator too.
