If you've tried a few of the Netflix Cobens and not liked them, however, don't discount this one too swiftly. First, the novel only came out in 2023 and, as he was writing it, Coben was collaborating with the TV showrunner, Robert Hull, so this isn't a book that's been snipped and squished to fit on a small screen. For UK audiences, meanwhile, it also helps that I Will Find You isn’t set in Britain.
Most of the Cobflix sagas to date have been British-based, with the likes of Michelle Keegan (Fool Me Once), Siobhan Finneran (The Stranger) and Cush Jumbo (Stay Close) serving time as middle-class people having their lives shattered by a terrible secret, which leads to a long and twisty story that almost always features Richard Armitage looking faintly bilious.
I Will Find You takes place in the US, the spiritual home of plotty pulp, and it knows damn well that it’s a straight-forward conspiracy thriller. Sam Worthington is David Burroughs, a man in jail for bludgeoning his own young son to death five years ago. He maintains his innocence, a claim supported by his journalist sister-in-law Rachel (Britt Lower of Severance fame).
Can he find the truth before you notice how silly the story is and stop watching? I Will Find You moves fast enough for that moment never to come. David and Rachel go on the run, evading the FBI and trying to second-guess the bad guys, while the folks back home gradually kick into gear to help.

Lower does better as a nervy, fidgety nerd who steps up when needed, while the latent MVPs are Chi McBride and Dear White People’s Logan Browning as verbally sparring FBI partners with amusingly diverse ages, temperaments and heights. They could and should reappear in a spin-off series.
I Will Find You is now streaming on Netflix.
