Megan Pierce is a suburban mum living in the fictional suburb of Livingstone, and is hiding a murky past. She has found her soulmate in Dave, and they have three great kids. Ray Levine was once a talented documentary photographer. Losing the woman he loved changed him. Now he is in a dead-end job, playing a paparazzo-for-hire, pandering to rich kid pseudo-celebrities. Michael Broome is a detective still haunted by a cold case from seventeen years ago, when local husband and father, Stewart Green, disappeared without any trace. Green's wife still waits for Stewart to return. The seven subsequent episodes of Stay Close continue to suggest that the person behind Stewart’s disappearance — or, possibly, murder — also harmed Carlton.

I think the instructions to the narrator were "try to sound cool" which I guess was interpreted as try to sound bored. Even the exciting portions of the book were read off in this sing song kind of way. A third, however, wrote: "Can highly recommend #stayclose on #Netflix...Been binge watching it… loved it except for the Barbie and Ken!" while another agreed with this, stating: "Why is there some random Barbie and Ken killers dancing like they are on strictly? Most bizarre thing I've watched #StayClose."Secondly, If you think you know who did it like 1/4 of the way in, you're right but the author adds an extra cup of cheesy pathos to the motive that undermines the only thing that was even mildly interesting about the killer. Harlan Coben was born and raised in New Jersey.
