This was a really enjoyable and suspenseful thriller, with great twists and turn and really likeable characters to follow.

"Think Twice" by Harlan Coben is a gripping thriller that explores the depths of family loyalty and the murky waters of deception. The story revolves around the lives of the twin brothers, Myron and Win, as they navigate a complex web of betrayal and vengeance. When Myron's estranged twin brother surfaces, shocking secrets about their family's past begin to unravel, forcing Myron to confront the dark choices that have shaped their lives.
Coben’s trademark suspense keeps readers on edge, with twists that are both surprising and plausible. The narrative weaves through themes of identity, morality, and the lengths one will go to protect loved ones. The characters are well-developed, particularly Myron, whose internal struggles resonate throughout the story.
The pacing is relentless, with short chapters that compel readers to keep turning pages. Coben skillfully blends humor with tension, providing moments of levity amid the seriousness of the plot.
Overall, "Think Twice" is a masterclass in storytelling, showcasing Coben's ability to create a taut, emotionally charged narrative. It's a thought-provoking read that leaves you questioning the true nature of trust and the bonds of family long after the final page is turned.

I have read several books by Harlan Coben, however this was the first Mylan Bolitar book for me. It did work well as a standalone although I’m sure knowing the backstories of Mylan & Winn would have helped.
As with all books by Harlan Coben, you know you are in for a twisty ride. I was constantly looking for clues about this serial killer, especially enjoying the chapters written from their point of view, adding to the suspense of not knowing their identity.
The settings take you on a ride, on Winn’s private jet, across America, to a variety of places. They are described succinctly placing the reader clearly ‘in the room’.
There is everything a good thriller should have in this book, a variety of relationships, strong friendships, mysterious happenings, gruesome violence, and most of all the tightening of the threads clues, leading to the final tense moments of the story. As usual an enjoyable and intriguing read.

I enjoyed this book, I have not read anything with these characters however it did not hinder my enjoyment. The characters are strong and likable and I can see while they would appear in the books again. The plot was engaging but I didn't find myself shocked at the end, I guessed the outcome pretty early on.

Thank you to Netgalley for my ARC. Have become a fan of Harlen Coben books and tv shows so was so happy to get this to read.
It started off so well and was addictive from the beginning, however I found it dragged nearer the end and I didn't care for many of the characters, apart from Myron.
It was good but not one of my favourites!

I received this book as an ARC Via netgalley. It is number 12 in the Myron Bolitar series. I have to admit to not having read all the preceding books in the series but as far as the storyline goes this does not matter.
Myron is based in New York but what with his partner Win's private plane and luxury car he manages to cover several other states within the narrative of this book.
The book opens with a visit from the FBI who have reason to believe Myron's dead friend is far from deceased and also guilty of at least one murder. Myron's search for his friend leads to a complex series of murders, all seemingly unconnected - but are they?
I like the character of Myron and his interaction with family and friends. His relationships are complex and appear to be pivotal to the narrative. Win is less easy to know although more straight forward in his decision making.
Coben is generally very easy to read, although this book did have it's complexities mainly in the serial nature of the killing. There was a lot going on and it did take me a while to set everything straight. I liked the ending - I was drawn into identifying the murder wrongly but enjoyed the eventual reveal
I have read other books by this author and will continue to do so. I might be tempted to go back to beginning of this series if I didn't have so much else to read.

Another brilliant book by Harlan Coben- can’t believe I waited a long time to read this! I was thoroughly engrossed from the beginning and was constantly trying to guess what was going to happen next but each time I was wrong. I absolutely love Myron and hope he is in future books.

Even though I did enjoy this, I found the story switched quite a lot between characters and with the majority of the book being dialogue, sometimes it was a little bit difficult to follow. Especially picking it up again the next day. As usual there are plenty of twists in the story to keep you guessing. I am looking forward to the next book.

Myron and Wyn return- two of my favourite characters. Great plot but I needed to concentrate carefully as there are multiple characters involved in the twists and turns and the story jumps about quite a lot.
Despite that, I thoroughly enjoyed the book and it's another sure-fire winner for Harlan.

Whilst I enjoyed the plot of this book I found it quite hard to follow, it seemed to jump from one thing to the next quite quickly and with everyone having strange names and sometimes people with multiple names I found it a bit hard to keep up with who was who.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for an advanced digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book is a blast! Myron and Win are back together, and their banter is hilarious, though it gets a little cheesy at times. The plot moves quickly and keeps things interesting with some great characters, like the over-the-top Big Cyndi, and a few shady ones too. The mystery ramps up with wild twists and a sneaky villain, leading to a dramatic, edge-of-your-seat ending. There’s a bit of repetition here and there, but overall, it’s super engaging and hard to put down.

I thought I knew where the story was going, but I was so wrong. The twists came out of nowhere and hit me like a freight train. Harlan did not disappoint!!

Thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for a review.
Myron and Win are back in action. DNA belonging to a client of Myron's sports agency is found at a murder scene. The only trouble is the client, Greg Dowling, died a number of years ago. Myron has to find out what's going on. Is Gregg alive somewhere or is this all big mix up?
Another enjoyable read from Harlen. If you've read Myron Bolitar stories before you'll know what to expect. If not give it a go you won't be disappointed.

It’s been a while since I read a good thriller and a 5 star one too! Can’t go wrong with this author though and I absolutely love the twists and turns that you go on. Recommend heavily for any thriller lovers for gifting!

Love Harlan Coben so I was excited to start this one. And it did not disappoint. Well written as usual and an intriguing storyline which kept me interested throughout. Would definitely recommend to fans of Coben’s previous work or people who are new to the author!

There’s no such thing as a perfect murder.
Greg Downing has been dead 3 years but he is suddenly prime suspect for a double murder. How can this be possible when Myron attended his funeral but all the evidence is overwhelming. As they start to investigate things soon start to take a dangerous path but Myron and Win will stop at nothing to find the truth.
I loved being back with these characters, the book can easily be read as a standalone but it was revisiting them which I enjoyed the most. Thanks to @netgalley for the opportunity to read this book.

Great thriller kept me hooked the whole way through. Great writing and plot. Love this authors work and unpredictable till the ending

This is my first time reading a novel from the Myron Bolitar series and I’d be keen to read more. Note, you can enjoy this as a standalone book without having read the previous 11.
This was well paced, gripping and had a satisfying twist.
4.5 stars.

Harlan Coben can do no wrong- have you ever read a bad book from him?! Will be recommending to my friends.

I’ve really enjoyed several (many!) Harlan Coben novels previously, but this one for me didn’t quite click. Perhaps the British adaptations on Netflix have influenced me, as I found the all-American characters and settings jarred. Still good, but not up to some of his previous work.
