  • Caught

    The book I am reviewing in this post is Caught by Harlan Coben which is an excellent thriller which I borrowed from the library. This book came out in 2010 & like a lot of Coben's recent books is a standalone taut thriller. The plot is there's an undercover tv reporter who exposes paedophiles & one of them has gone to court and slipped through the net. As a result her and her boss have lost their jobs. Anyway they decide they're going to kill the paedophile before he harms any more kids. Also soon after a child goes missing and they think it might be him that took her. Anyway what follows is a story where they question there ability to tell if someone is guilty or not. A lot of the story is kind of is he, isn't he. The reporter is very concerned someone might get to her 2 children. I won't give away the ending but there is a happy ending. I think this book is quite topical especially in Britain. I was watching the news last night and one story was that the prime minister appeared on a programme called This Morning. One of the presenters gave him a list of 6 people who have been accused on Twitter of being paedophiles. I think the 6 were celebrities he was connected to. He responded by saying if there's any evidence it should be dealt with in a law court not discussed on Twitter. I think he's right. When I ran a ning site there were a couple of instances were people had obviously fallen out so one of them accused the other of being a serial killer and would spread it around as many ning sites as possible.
