Stay Close

I very much enjoyed this murder mystery Stay Close by Harlan Coben which is set in Atlantic City.  Suburban mum, Megan, has a "past" as a pole dancer in a bar in Atlantic City.  She revisits the bar for old time's sake and becomes involved in the mysterious disappearance of a man she was involved with 17 years previously.  At that time she also had a boyfriend and when each found the apparently deceased victim, they thought the other might have killed him, so they both ran away that night separately and began new lives.  Detective Broome has been trying to solve the case since it happened and then another victim disappears who attended the same bar.  Megan seems to have opened a "can of worms" which has been hidden from her family.  As Detective Broome continues his investigation, it seems a serial killer has been at work.  A gripping page-turner. 41/2/5
