“The ugliest truth, in the end, was still better than the prettiest of lies.” So says Will Klein, whose search for his missing and allegedly murderous brother, Ken, leaves him doubting the actions of everybody he’s ever loved.
Eleven years ago, Ken fled his family tree’s suburban New Jersey neighborhood after Will’s ex-girlfriend, Julie Miller, was raped and strangled. The Kleins eventually convinced themselves that Ken corroded on the lam. But as Will discovers, the facts are not so simple. On her deathbed, his mother tells him that Ken is still alive. Then Will’s girlfriend and “soul mate” disappears too, only to have her fingerprints turn up at a New Mexico homicide scene. How are these tragedies connected? And what’s their relationship to the recent appearance of a contract killer known as the Ghost? With help from an abused ex-hooker, a ex- white supremacist turned yoga guru, and Julie’s younger sister, Will finds himself in a tightly twisted plot that turns on double identities and misplaced trust and that forces him to dig for the courage he was permanently sure he lacked.
Although the premise sounds much like that of Harlan Coben’s last book, the acclaimed Tell No One, and the books’ ingenuous protagonists are nearly interchangeable, Gone for Excellent quickly establishes its separate but equally suspenseful identity. This is a tale of manifold deceptions guaranteed to show its readers up as suckers, and to make them like every moment of the experience. –J. Kingston Pierce

I permanently in the past loved Harlan Coben book until I read this one. I was surprised to find him “busting on” my home state. WV has struggled over the years to overcome such negative comments as I read in this book. I quote language of fingerprints, “It makes a copy of the fingerprint and then it emails it over to the CJIS in West Virginia.” Next sentence reads. “Now that every police force was online-even persons in the most hillbilly of Hicksville boonies like them-fingerprints could be sent over the internet for identification.” There were additional references to my state.
At this point I figured as how I was to illiterate as to end reading another word, being from West Virginia and all. I will not bother to waste my money on another book by this man. Bring shame on he took out his “literary licence” against my state. The copyright on this book was 2002, to terrible I didn’t read it before I read the new ones.
Goodby Mr. Coben

I’ve read additional novels by Harlan Coben. The only reason I gave this one two stars was because I did, in fact, end it, but barely. Lord, he does go on. And hasn’t any writing professor at Amherst ever mentioned to him that a cliff-hanger a second is a second too many? Frankly, I didn’t give a rat’s a–s about Sheila. Coben’s female characters are honestly dull and one-dimensional compared to the men. That’s predictable of male writers. The only really excellent female character in the book COULD have been Will’s mother, but she died, sorry to say, and all we have are a few piquant memories. Anyway, the book was far too long for no reason. And the Ghost (so relentlessly, monotonously grotesque you want to say ‘Oh, come off it!) , the airy-fairy lost brother – the FBI goons – it’s all just one humongous, really improbable stretch. I finished it cause I needed something to read while the library was clogged, and I’m really embarrassed to admit I didn’t just place the darned thing down and go to a movie.

The characters are not believable. None of them. The hero
is so weak one wonders how it is that two ‘gorgeous’ women
fell in like with him. Publishing has become a game of ‘Names’
and Hype. If you must read this book, do what I did. Get it
from your local library. Thank me later…

I didn’t reflect this was near as excellent as some of Harlan’s books, but it was a fun listen. It’s terribly convoluted with who done it and it’s reasonably entertaining, but it’s not the most tasty novel I’ve ever read. As well, the reader was not the best for this book. At least there wasn’t composition in the background. It’s worth the buy and the listen…or read. It’s still excellent…

If you like being cheated, your logic cast away, and endings that come out of left meadow, this is for you. Coben’s best books were his earliest.
