I caught my reflection in a building window and couldn't help but notice that I looked utterly ridiculous in my borrowed garb. However, all along, I noticed the bad writing, the improbable plot twists which never seemed to end, and the completely contrived situations to help set up those plot twists. The next morning on the way to work Alex stops by the morgue to talk with the coroner regarding Margot's file and photos of her autopsy.

In the discussion Alex mentions that the web camera must be located outside of France because it was dark in Paris while the web camera still depicted daylight. He claimed to be passive and sensitive, which we never saw (what, is being a doctor to "ghetto-garbed" patrons supposed to make us think you're Jesus? Thank you to all the people who commented on my review of Fool Me Once and told me I should have been reading this one instead - you were absolutely right! The black characters who played a fairly significant role in the plot were mere archetypes of what Beck (or Coben) thinks black people and their lifestyles are like.However, his approach to characterizing women (and gay women) applies to multiple characters' perspectives throughout the story. With this one, I just couldn't stop (no, I didn't do more running), but I listened to it at home, which only shows how much I enjoyed it. She informs Alex of Charlotte's murder, that the police are on their way to the hospital, that she will meet him there as well, and to sit tight and not say anything.

The clerk will not allow Alex to enter with Nina, so he ties Nina to a bike rack and enters by himself. It seems two dead bodies of men have been discovered that were buried at Lake Charmaine, along with a baseball bat. Levkowitch shows the same three photos to Margot's mother that he had shown to Alex and inquires about Alex. Beck's personal resolve seems to be less about figuring out what the heck is going on and more about just proving to himself that he can be a man's man.His most recent adaptation for Netflix, Stay Close, premiered on December 31, 2021 and stars Cush Jumbo, James Nesbitt, and Richard Armitage. This one kept you guessing after the doctor's wife was kidnapped and a body found, suppose to be her, but tell tale messages subject she may still be alive after eight years. None of these complaints would be all that earthshattering or even surprising were it not for the fact that there's this underlying subtext that Coben seems to be trying to communicate about subverting expectations, classism and power dynamics, and being socially conscious or whatever. With that said, even she subscribes to a more traditionally masculine role than her traditionally feminine wife, Linda (also Beck's sister), whose integrity both as a character and as a person is steadily watered down to the point that by the end of it, I barely even recognized who she's supposed to be. Alex then hears Margot's cry for help, swims to shore, and is knocked unconscious as he attempts to exit the water using the ladder on the dock.

Margot's father then tells Alex that Neuville had half of the police force and politicians on his payroll including him. I don't know if it's because it's a product of an earlier time period where such a novel would be praised as new and thrilling, but I was incredibly underwhelmed by this story. After having a little argument about the cold relationship he has with his sister Anne, Margot comments she will "butt out" and swims back to the shore to check on the dog that was left in the car. Captain Levkowitch and his partner ride down the elevator with Alex and continue to ask more questions as they also share some of their information.His novel The Stranger, published in 2015, has been made into a Netflix TV series in 2019 with the actor Richard Armitage starring in main role.
