Another unbelievable female hero

The story line is quite good but unfortunately the author has done what seems like every other author of late has done - gone for a story that has the main character as a super woman. The flood of books with female characters that are penned as invincible heroes while still exhibiting the purest of female qualities is just plain tedious and starting to become rather predictable if not intellectually painful. Bottom line - the main (unbelievable) character got in the way of what could have been a decent original plot.

Strong female lead who would usually be typecast as a male

I disagree with previous review stating that Coben has created a ‘superwoman’ who is in invincible.
I actually think Harlan Coben has given a voice to the women who also do the traditionally ‘male’ roles. It gives the female section of our society we most often overlook a platform. There are women in the forces who go on long tours away from children and loved ones. Finally, a female character who is not so besotted by motherhood that she denies herself the job she loves. I find Maya a credible character, doing the same balancing act we as women do every day.
