I’m on a roll… I recently finished Nelson and Alex DeMilles' The Deserter (4.5 stars for me) so I grabbed another book from the pile.

Book cover of Harlan Coben's The Stranger

My husband watched this limited series on Netflix and DNF (Did Not Finish). He swore off any work by Harlan Coben since then, that’s how badly he received the first couple of episodes. I’ve read a few of Mr. Coben’s novels before hence I don’t understand Husband’s reaction. (Well, he didn’t like Where the Crawdads Sing film either which I read and totally enjoyed.) I prefer reading books to watching TV and movies so maybe my reception to the story will once again be the opposite of his.
