So, whether you’re a longtime fan or someone who just discovered his world through I Will Find You, here are three Harlan Coben mysteries on Netflix that deserve a spot on your watchlist.
Stay Close
What would happen if everything you had built so painstakingly starts crumbling because of a single secret from your past? This is the central theme of Stay Close, which revolves around Megan Pierce, a woman who appears to have the ideal suburban life, but a connection between her present and her past life makes her relive things that she tried to escape from long ago. On the other hand, there is Detective Michael Broome who is investigating the disappearance of Carlton Flynn, which is uncannily similar to a case of missing person from 17 years ago. But even as you try to connect all the loose ends, there comes yet another surprise. With intriguing plots and mysterious happenings, Stay Close is full of twists and turns that make it impossible for the viewers to predict what is true and what isn’t.
The series has 8 episodes, but the real shock waits until the very end. The finale of Stay Close delivers a twist that changes the entire perspective of the story, leaving viewers stunned and thinking about all the clues they missed along the way.
Run Away
What happens when a father’s search for his missing daughter leads him straight into a world of secrets, murder and shocking family revelations? Run Away follows Simon Greene, whose perfect life begins to fall apart when his daughter Paige disappears. After finally finding her, Simon loses her again following a violent encounter that puts him at the centre of a murder investigation. Determined to bring his daughter home and clear his name, Simon teams up with private investigator Elena Ravenscroft, only to uncover a much darker truth hiding behind Paige’s disappearance. From the mysterious Shining Truth group to secrets buried within his own family, every answer leads to another question. And in true Harlan Coben style, just when you think you’ve figured it all out, the story takes a completely unexpected turn.
With 8 episodes, Run Away takes you through a gripping mystery filled with secrets, unanswered questions and shocking discoveries. The series slowly builds towards its biggest revelation, and when the truth about the killer finally comes out, it’s someone you would least expect.
The Stranger
What would you do if, out of the blue, a stranger came to tell you that the very person you love the most had been keeping an unbelievable secret from you all this time? That’s exactly what happens to Adam Price in The Stranger when a mysterious woman tells him that his wife Corinne faked a pregnancy and lied about losing their child. Shocked and desperate for answers, Adam confronts Corinne, but before he can uncover the full truth, she disappears, leaving him with even more questions. As he starts investigating, Adam finds himself pulled into a much bigger mystery involving hidden secrets, blackmail and a series of people whose lives have been turned upside down by the same stranger. The more he searches for answers, the more he realizes that almost everyone around him is hiding something, and the truth may be far more complicated than he ever imagined.
The Stranger is composed of 8 episodes and manages to unravel its mysteries while keeping you on your toes with each new clue. However, it holds on to its best surprises until the very end, where it reveals the mystery behind the motives of the stranger and the truths she exposes. The ending delivers the kind of twist Harlan Coben fans love, one that makes you look back at every clue and realize things were not as simple as they seemed.
