A “breath of fresh air” has arrived on ITVX that crime fanatics shouldn’t skip.
Author Harlan Coben has been renowned for his best-selling novels with many of them now being adapted into hit Netflix crime thrillers.
As fans get excited about the release of his latest six-part series I Will Find You, another of Harlan Coben’s work has been quietly added for viewers to watch for free.
Harlan Coben’s Final Twist is now ready to watch on ITVX, a five-part true crime docu-series hosted and executive produced by the man himself as he delves into ordinary lives that descend into “dark secrets and deadly lies”.
Each of the standalone episodes focusses on a different case that applies the “acclaimed thriller author’s signature plot twists and psychological insight to real-life murder cases”.

When police find a couple murdered in their home in the first episode, Billy and Billie Jean, they go on to discover a “bizarre cyber bullying conflict with a neighbouring family”.
Meanwhile, episode two, Gambler’s Debt, sees officers faced with a plethora of suspects who could have fatally stabbed a successful businesswoman as they find “hidden debuts and a fugitive linked to her family”.
Taking to Facebook, a fan commenting about Harlan Coben’s Final Twist said: “It was a fantastic series! Hoping for another season.” Someone else commented: “Love this show! More episodes please!”
A fellow user simply described it as “awesome”, while another exclaimed: “We need more of this, it’s brilliant.”

An IMdB user wrote: “Compared to Dateline, which asks some of the dumbest and most obvious questions to people, this show is a breath of fresh air.
“No/minimal dumb questions and entertaining because it’s not blatantly obvious who the perpetrator is.”
Harlan Coben’s Final Twist lands on ITVX the same week as his best-selling novel I Will Find You’s Netflix remake drops today, Thursday, June 18.
