Death Do Us Part by Harlan Coben

Reviewed by Marianna Boylan

Death Do Us Part

By Harlan Coben
Little, Brown and Company
Hardcover and Paperback Editions

Harlan Coben's short story “Entrapped” is about a woman whose husband goes missing. When she arrives home from the police station, she finds an imposter husband waiting for her and the charade begins.

All of the stories are filled with common elements that make for a great mystery; secrets, deceit, love, lust, drama and of course the most important ingredient, murder.
Death Do Us Part Excerpt
Lest you think that mystery writers are all cynical curmudgeons, there are also several stories in here that celebrate the power of a loving relationship as it pertains to crime and punishment (which is possible). But at least half of these stories end badly for one spouse or both.

Readers will find at least one of their favorite writer’s works and be able to sample several new writers as well.

R. L. Stine tells a tale of a murdering best friend who’s left with his victim's “talking” dog. The dog witnessed the whole murder. That, combined with paranoia and guilt, makes for a well written and very imaginative story.

A few of the writers that readers will look forward to include Lee Childs, Ridley Pearson, R.L Stine, Laura Lippman and P.J Parrish.


Bookworm's Briefing
Death Do Us Part is a brilliant compilation of short stories by several of the mystery genre’s top authors. Harlan Coben does a fantastic job of putting this collection together.
