Book Review: ‘The Match: A Wilde Novel’ By Harlan Coben

Author Harlan Coben follows up his first Wilde book (The Boy From The Woods) with an awesome second novel in the series, The Match. It’s a thrilling story from the very beginning, right up the very end. With lots of twists and turns along the way to keep you engaged. Wilde has been gone for months with no communication. Now he’s in Las Vegas to hopefully meet his real father. He did one of those DNA sites and got a match. He’s hoping to be able to find his mother but doesn’t learn much about her. Then he reads his messages on the DND site and it looks like he has a second cousin, a former reality star, who has gone missing after a scandal and presumed dead. Wild starts investigating, meets other potential family members, learns shocking truths, helps solve a serial killer (with a shocking twist) and finally learns the truth about his mother and family. The character of Wilde is awesome, really well-written and fun to read. This book is written like it might be the end of the short series. Hopefully it’s now!

You can pick up The Match in stores on Tuesday, March 15th from Grand Central.
