Synopsis

The long-awaited new novel by “the class act of the urban thriller” (Entertainment Weekly)

YOU BELONG TO ME . . . Paul Reeves is a successful immigration lawyer, but his passion is collecting old maps of New York, tangible records of the city’s rich history in an increasingly digital world. One afternoon he attends an auction with his neighbor Jennifer Mehraz, the beautiful young wife of an Iranian financier-lawyer, but halfway through the auction a handsome man in soldier fatigues appears in the aisle and whisks Jennifer away. YOU BELONG TO ME . . . A long-lost lover from Jennifer’s rural Pennsylvania past, the man sets off a series of alarming events as those close to Jennifer try to figure out who he is and how the two are connected, including her high-powered and possessive husband, whose ultimate goal is to make this embarrassing intrusion into his marriage disappear. YOU BELONG TO ME . . . At the same time, one of the world’s rarest and most inaccessible maps suddenly goes on sale, but before Paul can finalize a deal, another buyer snatches it out from under Paul’s nose, sending him on a quest to find out who the mysterious buyer is and how to get the map for himself.

Eight years after his last critically acclaimed thriller, The Finder, Colin Harrison returns with You Belong to Me. Filled with compelling characters and a loving but biting satire of New York City, You Belong to Me is an exceptional audiobook, and Colin Harrison is at the top of his game.

No cozy mystery book here; so, you won’t find Jessica Fletcher from Cabot Cove in this neighborhood. I’m a huge fan of Colin Harrison. He is a master storyteller.

Трудно ми тръгна тази история нещо, но след стотната страница нещата се понаместиха и дет се вика пооткина. :) Купих книгата привлечен от корицата и описанието на сюжета, в което се казваше, че авторът има седем романа посветени на Ню Йорк, град интригуващ често моето съзнание, град който бих желал д......more

Goodreads review by Alexa

The female characters are ridiculous. Rachel, a successful, professional, native Manhattanite describes herself as having "mucho curves" and wants the main character to inseminate her with his "alpha sperm." Another female character, a modern, gorgeous, wealthy woman in her 20s, uses terms like "fla......more
