Like Myron and Harlan Coben I enjoy golf 'about as much as sticking' my 'tongue in a fan' but despite all that still managed to enjoy this book. Win is around, but is not helping Myron because the investigation involves his family, but it does mean that eventually learn a little more about him. Esperanza steps into the breach, which is good because Myron isn't that great on his own. Coben's trademarks are all here and there is an exellent twist at the end. (  )riverwillow | May 4, 2009 |   To me this book was like watching a Colombo movie, it was slow a laborious to read. I like my books to be more believable. It did however of plenty of twist and turns to the storey. So lovers of the Colombo genre movie will probably love this novel. I have enjoyed past books of Cobens that I have read but this has really encouraged me to take him off my list of to read authors. (  )susanbunny | Dec 31, 2008 | In this book, we are mostly deprived of Win because of his refusal to help Myron despite - or perhaps because of - the fact that the investigation is to help friend's of Win's family. We find out why at the end, but I have to say that I find the explanation almost as unconvincing as Sophie Neveu's estrangement from her grandfather in Dan Brown's "Da Vinci Code." (Brown and Coben were both at Amherst College in New Jersey and members of the same fraternity.) Anyway, Coben is incapable of writing a bad book, but this is not his best (  )litterate | Sep 1, 2008 | Another great Myron Bolitar series book. This one kept me guessing. I missed that Win wasn't as involved in this one, but I loved some of the other characters. Several laugh out loud passages. ( )she_climber | Aug 25, 2008 | I'm so glad that I discovered Harlan Coben one day. His books are great, full of twists and surprises, lots of suspense, all that you can wish in a thriller. And as for the series with Myron Bolitar, besides all that you still have lots of fun, because Myron can be such a funny guy and always as a line to say. It was a fast paced read, even though I don't like golf ;) Fantasma | Dec 10, 2007 | 0.073 seconds to build listing  no reviews | add a review
