I've not read previous Myron Bolitar books but this didn't affect my engagement with the characters in Think Twice.

When the FBI contact Mryon Bolitar about an ex-client being a murder suspect he is shocked because he attended his client's funeral 3 years ago. What follows is a fast-paced crime thriller with lots of twists and turns. Several times I thought I knew who the 'set-up serial killer' would turn out to be but I was wrong! Harlen Coben is truly a master of engaging narrative and plot twists. There was a quality to the characters that made them difficult to forget and you can feel the love between Myron and his family and the friendship between him and his colleagues, Win and Esperanza.

Think Twice from Harlan Coben. This was my second book of his, i didn't realise until about a third of the way through that this was part of a series for the main characters.

Myron Bolitar, a former basketball player and sports agent is visited by the FBI asking questions of his former client/ ex husband of his first love and mother of his child, who although having died 3 years ago is being accused of a double murder. Greg Downing, Myrons former client, friend and frenemy died years ago but his DNA has showed up at a crime scene, placing him in the FBIs crosshairs despite being “cremated” three years ago. Myron and his friend Win decide to investigate and find themselves on the hunt for a potential serial killer who is framing the innocent for their murders.

I’ve enjoyed the TV adaptations of Coben’s novels and this was no exception. There were a few gaping plot holes (three dead bodies that just disappear and aren’t mentioned again) and an awareness that this was part of a series and you were jumping in mid relationship of the main characters. However this works as a stand alone book and I read it over a day. His writing is compelling, full of twists and just when you think you’ve got a hang on the story another twist follows. Great thriller that you’ve come to expect from this author. Thanks to netgalley for the arc. Release date of May 23rd.

This is my first book by the Author and based on this offering won't be my last
The characters are well crafted with established personalities - this books feels fully fleshed out and I would assume that is not the first book featuring Myron and Wyn ..... which might benefit a reader before reading this one .

When the FBI arrive to question him about an ongoing murder case where the prime suspect is an old client
he is puzzled - he attended Greg's funeral three years ago . Just how did a dead man's DNA appear at a current
murder site ? Was Greg really dead or had he managed to deceive those around him ? If so why ?
The results of his investigations , with the help of his friend and colleague Wyn , brings more questions than answers ,
especially as Greg has links to yet another murder where someone has already been convicted and is serving time in prison .
Just who can Myron trust ......... what are the consequences of his investigations ......... are there links to other closed murder
cases ?? Myron's own life and that of his family and friends is now at risk - can he find the answers he seeks before it's too late ?

This is a excellent investigative thriller , with twists and turns around very corner - a real page turner
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

Harlan Coben's "Think Twice" certainly keeps you guessing. This was my first novel by Harlan Coben and it captivated me from start to finish. The story was set amidst family dramas and intricate mysteries, and follows Myron Bolitar and his companion Win as they unravel a complex murder case. With a cast of compelling characters and unexpected twists, Coben crafts a narrative that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House UK, Cornerstone for this advance copy.

I just reviewed Think Twice by Harlan Coben. #ThinkTwice #NetGalley

I read this whilst ill and it really took my mind off it! A story about trusting people we THINK we know.

Is Greg really still alive? Who is the setup serial killer? Why are all the victims linked to person specific person?

This story is intertwined with family politics and dramas which makes it SLIGHTLY more believable as well as engaging.

A 5* read on every level. Three dimensional characters who constantly demonstrate every facet of their intrinsic personality with a psyche moving between good and evil, emotionally human and icily chilling , legal and illegal, Unexpected and unexplainable actions carried out with biting efficiency and clever narcissism rendering the reader incapable of identifying and differentiating or even understanding not only what is the modus operandi but who are the perpetrators. A cleverly constructed thriller so intricate that it never fails to baffle, confuse and mystify throughout. An author so accomplished in the art of writing that an impossible storyline rolls off the page like undiluted ecstasy leaving the reader euphoric with enjoyment. A conclusion that defines the definition of a satisfactory ending at the highest level of any expectations. Many thanks to author. Publisher and Netgalley for this ARC which has raised the bar for my choice of all future reading.

An action packed Myron and Win book which I thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for letting me review this book.

Harlan Conen never misses! So great to spend time with Myron and Win again - and to see how they're dealing with (or denying) the passage of time.

If you haven't read the previous Myron Bolitar books, you can jump in here - but I fully recommend you then go back to the beginning and read them all!

Enjoyable read, with some twists and turns. I have read quite a few books from this author some years ago now, and thought I would try this out. I would say it is a comfortable rather than thrilling read, and sometimes the dialogue between the main characters becomes long-winded, still a good story.

I’ve been reading Harlan Coben’s Myron Bolitar and Win series for years and they are always twisty and extremely gripping.
“Think Twice” contained these elements and a lot more. Suffice it to say I just couldn’t put it down. Myron and Win are a little older but they still have all the moves the reader comes to expect in these books. Win is always looking out for Myron and tries to protect him as much as he can. As well as investigating Myron is reestablishing his Sports Agency and maintaining his relationship with his journalist wife, Therese. He also worries about his elderly parents who have some health issues which makes him all the more empathetic and realistic a character.
In this outing the pair get involved hunting for a serial killer who frames someone else for their murders. When an old client of Myron’s and Myron’s son, Jeremy’s father is accused of a murder there is a major problem. Greg Downing is already dead. How can his DNA be at the scene of a double murder? There is a lot of backstory between these two which the author explains for new readers of the series.
As Myron and Win investigate danger lurks, particularly for Myron and the reader is also shown the point of view of the serial killer which really ratchets up the tension.
What can I say- Harlan Coben has done it again. He certainly knows how to craft a gripping read and I thoroughly recommend this book, not only if you are a Myron fan like me but also if you enjoy an excellent thriller. Please Mr Coben, don’t leave it so long until your next book in this enjoyable series.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for my advance copy.

A new Miron and Win doesn’t let you down in this twisty tale of a serial killer who manages to frame someone else by leaving evidence of a perpetrator close to the victim. The FBI and everyone else seems fooled by it all until our heroes get involved. The action is relentless until the final double shock reveal. As always a rollercoaster ride of excellence!

Myron and Win are back. Book 12 in the Myron Bolitar series and this one is just as action packed as the rest of them! Gripping read from the start and hard to put down once you start!

It must be almost 10 years since I last spent time in Myron Bolitar's company and I must admit, I was worried that after so long away it wouldn't feel quite the same. Panic over! Reading 'Think Twice' was like settling into the familiarity of family.
Although a little older, Myron and his friends still have the same rapport and are still fighting for justice as a serial killer is pointing the finger for his crimes at innocent people. Myron is drawn in when his son's father, Greg Downing, who has been dead for a number of years is implicated in a murder.
This was Harlan Coben at his best - a real page turner.

This was a gripping, fast paced thriller that I really enjoyed reading. I didn’t realise it was part of a series when I requested it and although this book can definitely be read as part of a standalone I am slightly disappointed as I am now hooked on Myron and Win’s characters and want to go back and read from the beginning although obviously have read some spoilers.
However this didn’t take away the enjoyment of this book. There are plenty of twists and turns which keep the plot of this book quickly changing and the reader immersed in the story.
Another great fast paced read from Harlan Coben

This was absolutely vintage Coben, I can't believe he has made us wait so long for the return of Myron and Win but what a brilliant return.

Loved this one so much!

Yet again another hit from Harlan Coben. I can’t wait for this to be realised to the mass public. Probably my fave to date. A great story line, good pacing, good characters and the twists that it needed. I never rate them at 5 but this is hard to argue otherwise!

It’s been a while since I read a Myron Bolitar book and I’d forgotten how good this series is.
We’re back with Myron, Win, Big Cyndi and Esperanza as they become involved in a murder case where Myron’s ex client Greg who is supposedly dead is a suspect.
This is a great addition to the series, it’s a fast paced thriller with lots of twists and turns that I was completely immersed in over the course of 24 hours. I loved being back with Myron who is such a strong character. I find his relationship with Win intriguing and felt very moved by his relationship with his parents. I was not ready for the unexpected ending which was very emotional.
Highly recommended. I’d suggest starting at the beginning of the series but this can be read as a standalone. 4.5 stars
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this digital ARC.

Wow! My first Myron Bolitar book, it was fairly easy to get the measure of the relationships between characters so didn’t matter that I hadn’t read any previously. Crime novels don’t get any better than this, a web of possibilities, sprinkled with modern technology as well as good old fashioned investigative deductions. Clever and thrilling conclusion!

Thanks to Netgalley and Random House for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Myron Bolitar an Win wind up involved in a murder case when the evidence at a murder scene turns up the DNA of Greg Downey, Win's client and Myron's rival from way back. The issue is that Greg has been dead for several years. Myron and Win trace the clues to find out what is really going on.

Harlan Coben is my absolute #1 author, so reading a new novel by him is always a treat, especially when it is a Myron Bolitar. I read this in one day and couldn't put it down. I was totally engaged, wanting to know what was happening. Another great read from Harlan Coben. I am just sad that I will have to wait another year to read more from him.

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House UK, Cornerstone for an eagerly anticipated ARC in exchange for an honest review. They're rapidly turning out to be my favourite publisher!

This is my 11th Harlan Coben and my fourth Myron Bolitar book. It's difficult to find these to read in order, although it doesn't matter much as Coben always gives a bit of a summary at the beginning so we all know who Esperanza and Big Cyndi are. Generally I prefer Coben's standalones, because the Bolitar series isn't consistently at the same standard.

This time, Myron gets a visit from the FBI telling him one of his former clients is suspected of murder - but Myron and Win were at his funeral three years ago. Naturally they don't hesitate a minute and start investigating what turns out to be a deeply perplexing case about a weird set-up serial killer trying to frame innocent people, often the victims of the killed.

I read this in one sitting, I couldn't put it down. Coben's books may at times be confusing, have too many characters and are fairly far-fetched, but they are always well-written and entertaining. I like Myron and his relationships with people, and that we delve more into the story with his son Jeremy in this book. Previously I thought that the 11th offering (Home) was the best, but this one surpasses it. A thoroughly good read!

4.25 stars
