**Warning: this text may contain spoilers** Harlan Coben is one of the only thriller writers who keeps me consistently guessing; so I was excited to be approved for a copy of his latest offering, The Boy from the Woods.

Whilst the story isn't directly about Wilde's time in the woods, it aludes to it frequently, with Wilde having an immense knowledge of the woods around the setting of the story. When Matthew', Wilde's god-son, contacts him to ask him to find a missing schoolmate, Wilde is drawn into the high school drama, with bullying and cliques at the forefront. Wilde soon finds Naomi, safe at home, her father having helped her complete The Challenge to gain some popularity at school, and hopefully less attention from the resident school popular boy, Crash.

So when Naomi goes missing a week after she 'returns' the police are less than willing to try and look for her, thinking more of her as the girl who cried wolf. Wolfe's best friend's mother, Hester and Matthew's grandmother also comes onto the scene after being employed by Crash's parents when he also appears to have run away...

A very intriguing story, I was initially a bit confused about the whole policical side line story - but the book was woven so well and reached a satisfying conclusion, with all of the lose ends tied up. I'd love to read more from the Wilde character again, maybe one day!
