Finished: The Match (Coben) Another great page-turner by one of my favorites, Harlan Coben. :-) The protagonist of this story is Wilde, who we met in The Boy in the Woods. Wilde is 40ish now, he's not really sure, because he was left in the woods as a child to fend for himself. Only by befriending another little boy, David, whose family owned a house at the edge of the woods, was he brought into society, where David's mother, Hesther Crimstein became like a surrogate mother to him. He still had no memory of how he was left in the woods, still preferred living in his reclusive abode in the woods, and still remained close to Hesther, David's son, Matthew and David's widow, Laila. In this story, Wilde has decided to input his DNA into "one of those sites" to see if he gets a match. He's finally ready to see if he's got a mother and/or father out there, and to learn what exactly happened to make them leave him in the woods. Hester Crimstein is a brilliant attorney, and also a mainstay in several of the Coben novels. She's quite prominent in both of the Wilde books, there for advice, and there when Wilde's search takes a mysterious turn as he gets a hit for a possible parent, and at the same time, a hit for a possible half-sibling. When he reaches out to the possible parent (a father), he sets some frantic wheels in motion because it turns out his father is in the Witness Protection Program. By the time Wilde reaches back out to the potential half-sibling, Peter, he has gone missing. A complicated mystery ensues involving DNA matches, reality tv shows, a secret online vigilante society, and three murders (and counting). In the end, we do finally learn what happened to Wilde as a child, but there are some ends left dangling and a couple of unanswered questions. I'm really hoping there is a Wilde book #3.
