The question of downloading 'Stay Close' for free is tricky, because while there are unofficial sources floating around, I always feel a bit conflicted about them. Harlan Coben’s thrillers are so gripping—I tore through 'Stay Close' in a weekend—and part of me wants everyone to experience that tension and those twists. But as someone who’s seen authors struggle when their work gets pirated, I’d really recommend checking out legal options first. Libraries often have e-book lending, and Coben’s titles pop up in sales or subscription services like Kindle Unlimited pretty often. Plus, supporting the author means more books like this in the future!
If budget’s tight, I totally get it—I’ve been there. Maybe try second-hand bookstores or swap sites where you can trade titles legally. The thrill of a Coben novel is worth the wait to access it ethically. And hey, if you end up loving it, his Netflix adaptations are a fun rabbit hole to dive into afterward.
