SIX YEARS by Harlan Coben ****

This is a very confusing story. There's a secret society that hides people who's lives are in danger and one guy Jake wants to find his girlfriend who disappeared into this net of deception. He's looking because he saw her marry a guy who was killed and the obit stirred his curiosity enough to want to find his girlfriend whom he absolutely couldn't live without.

Now in the story a bad guy has a son who wants to help people hide for the rest of their lives, so the newspaper article declares and people tell Jake that as well but then the author somehow turns him into a criminal who was killed by a person who had to hide in the secret society called Fresh Start. So this part is very stupid/confusing. Is Archer bad or is Archer good? Did he help people as the reader is led to believe or is he a criminal like his father?

Well you'll never really get a good answer to that. Otherwise the book is fast reading, you want to continue because so many odd things occur it peaks your curiosity but at the same time pisses you off by the high numbers of people involved the bad vs good the nature of Fresh Start and all that crap. One of the people who started the program worked with the FBI at one time hiding people so my question left at the end is why didn't he just put them in witness protection? Some were bad? Killers? I don't know.  By the time you're done reading it you have very little idea whether you care or not.

Happily ever after. The end.
