Missing You
Harlan Coben, 2014
A New York detective opens a dating site and finds the face of the fiancé who vanished eighteen years ago—a cold case that may not be cold.
Harlan Coben
Coben was born in Newark and sets much of his work in New Jersey; his thrillers have been translated into more than forty languages.
Feels like curiosity, adventure and unease.
The joke about dating sites collapses when you remember each face is a life.
This was the flip side. It was easy to be cynical and poke fun, but when she stepped back, Kat realized something that pierced her straight through the heart: Every profile was a life. Simple, yep, but behind every cliché-ridden, please-like-me profile was a fellow human being with dreams and aspirations and desires. These people hadn’t signed up, paid their fee, or filled out this information idly. Think about it: Every one of these lonely people came to this website—signed in and clicked on profiles—hoping it would be different this time, hoping against hope that finally they would meet the one person who, in the end, would be the most important person in their lives.
