Published as a novel in 2016, Fool Me Once follows novels such as The Stranger and Stay Close, making it the eighth addition to Netflix’s Harlan Coben collection.
The author posted his New Year’s wishes and tuned in to the new series at the same time.
He said, “Happy New Year.” All 8 episodes of Fool Me Once are now streaming on @Netflix. I hope 2024 is your best year yet.”
