The best things said about it
That's Harlan Coben reading the beginning of his latest thriller, The Stranger. I'm all about suspense, trying to make you turn that next page. I want you to start The Stranger at 11 o'clock at night, think, I'll read 10 or 15 minutes, and the next thing you know, it's four in the morning.
Harlan Coben Freakonomics Radio · Jul 2015 Why people recommend it
The Stranger by Harlan Coben is a gripping psychological thriller that explores secrets, blackmail, and the sudden unraveling of seemingly perfect suburban lives. On The Book Review podcast, Greg Cowles highlighted the title, noting that Harlan Coben had returned with a standalone thriller called The Stranger, which made a strong debut at number two on the fiction bestseller list. Meanwhile, the author himself appeared on Freakonomics Radio to discuss the mechanics of suspense and his creative process. While reading the beginning of his latest thriller on the show, Harlan Coben explained that his primary goal was to make readers turn the page late into the night. He remarked that he wanted someone to start reading The Stranger at eleven o'clock at night, intending to read for only ten or fifteen minutes, only to look up and realize it was four in the morning. These podcast appearances underline the book's immediate commercial success upon release and offer a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at how a master of the thriller genre deliberately crafts pacing and tension to captivate audiences and keep them hooked until the very final chapter.
