This is thw 2nd novel I have read and, although very good, it was not as riveting as the first. Maybe it was he "Myron bolitar" thing; series books can sometimes have less depth. Myron seem to always be up and going here and there but hardly ever is the time for food, sleep, etc the normal parts of life that need to be included in any story if it wants to be original. Myron is made out to be a little larger than life as a sports rep trying to discover one of his client and also an alumni of the college they attended. Always going here and there, winning each battle with his wits, strengh or whatever he needs to pewere over his adversary. Still good readning, tho. ( )

another myron bolitar, better than average

This is a good read, but somehow the plot of this one just stretches my credibility a little too far - I really am not sure about the revelations at the end of the book. One of the things I do enjoy about this series is how Coben's characters, especially Myron, grow from book to book, well the read learns a little more about Win with each book. ( )

Another tricky plot for Myron to unravel after he takes off to the Caribbean for three weeks without telling anyone only to find his trusty colleague Esperanza has been arrested for the murder of one of their clients. As usual the pages are full of wise cracks and vivid descriptions of characters, both major and minor which really bring them to life. Recommended. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
For Aunt Evelyn in Revere, with lots and lots of love. And in memory of Larry Gerson 1962 - 1998 Close your eyes and you can still see the smile
First words
Myron lay sprawled next to a knee-knockingly gorgeous brunette clad only in a Class-B-felony bikini, a tropical drink sans umbrella in one hand, the aqua clear Caribbean water lapping at his feet, the sand a dazzling white power, the sky a pure blue that could only be God's blank canvas, the sun as soothing and rich as a Swedish masseur with a snifter of cognac, and he was intensely miserable.

Book description

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0440225450, Mass Market Paperback)

Myron Bolitar is a fascinating character--a guy in his 30s who just moved into his own New York apartment, and who still looks forward to dinner with his parents in New Jersey. A former pro-basketball star and Harvard Law School grad, he now runs his own sports agency, and also dabbles in the private investigation business. He is helped (and sometimes hindered) by his rich, blond, preppy friend Windsor Horne Lockwood III. Win has some awesome lethal powers hidden under his Brooks Brothers suits!

In The Final Detail Win and Myron are looking into the murder of a client--a troubled New York Yankees baseball player called Clu Haid. Clu was apparently shot to death by Esperanza Diaz, who just happens to be Myron's best friend and partner in the sport's agency. Esperanza is hiding something, but Myron isn't sure if it has to do with her job, or with her private life. His search for the truth takes him back to a shabby incident from his own past, and to times he would rather forget. Author Harlan Coben casually drops in dozens of poignant moments of humanity that keep us--and Myron--firmly grounded in reality.

Other books in this excellent series include Backspin, Deal Breaker, Drop Shot, and One False Move. --Dick Adler
