Caught

Harlan Coben's 'Caught' plunges readers into the deceptive world of suburban New Jersey, where the disappearance of a seemingly perfect teenage girl, Haley McWaid, shatters the idyllic facade of her community.

The story delves into the complexities of human nature, demonstrating how easily stability can be shattered and how far people will go to protect loved ones, making it a suspenseful and thought-provoking read [2, 3, 8, 11, 15].
