This is classic Coben. You know what you’re going to get when you pick up a Harken Coben title and yet again, this is everything I hoped for. It’s well paced, with the tension building and plenty of twists on the way. I love the Bolitar character and he’s developing well. Coben really delivers a master class in thriller writing because plotting, pace, characters and dialogue are all superb. He makes it look so easy as you whip through page after page, immersed in the chase for truth. This is another belting story.

Harlan coben!! He's done it again!! Absolutely brilliant gripping story. 2 people have been murdered, but the DNA at the Frome scene is from an old client of Myron bolitars, Greg, but Greg died years ago...didn't he? Myrons on the hunt for Greg and so is the FBI, could he still he alive? More murders, a possible serial killer who is setting up innocent people to take the blame and go down for the murders. Can Myron, win and Esperanza figure out who's behind it all without getting hurt themselves.
Absolutely recommend this book.
Thank you netgalley for the arc of this book in exchange for my honest review

A fantastic next installment of the Myron Bolitar series that definitely doesn't disappoint!

As an huge Harlan Coben fan I couldn't wait to read his latest Myron Bolitar book. It was a fast paced entertaining thriller. I love the characters of Myron and Win. They they are very different but compliment eachother and make a great team.

My only disappointment is that I figured it out before I reached the end, but that took very little away from my enjoyment of the storyline and how well it was written.

Harlan Coben is an incredible thriller writer and I'd highly recommend this book and his previous works.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I LOVED this read.

This is book 12 in the Myron Bolitar and Win Horne Lockwood series. However, although it's great to have read them all, you don't need to. This stands alone as an excellent, gripping, thriller of a read.

Myron is a former basketball star who has restarted his agency for sports stars and celebrities. Then, the FBI question him about some high profile murders and the fact that the DNA from one of Myron's previous clients (who is dead) has been found at the scene.

What follows starts slowly and increases in tension and suspense and as always with this excellent author, there is humour and pathos throughout. The characters are so well drawn and the threads of the story all come together in a fabulous ending.

I literally couldn't stop reading and loved it.

Thanks so much to NetGalley and Random House UK, Cornerstone for the opportunity to preview this excellent read.

A classic Harlan Coben novel with a twisty plot! This is one of a series- number 12 in the Myron Bolitar series- but happily stands alone- I hadn’t read the others. Myron had been to a funeral of a former client and friend, Greg, a while back but when there is a murder and his deceased friend's DNA is found at the crime scene things take on a different turn. As he starts to look into this, more murders with a similar MO crop up. Is Greg still alive or is someone using his profile to confuse the investigation?

This is a gritty, classic Harlan Coban read where the reader is led astray more than once. It's a complex plot, well written and thought out. I wouldn't expect anything less from an author of Harlan’s calibre. I wish I'd started at the beginning of the series as I feel there is so much more to know about Myron and Win- the one who often saves the day. An investigative thriller in every sense of the word. Another classic from the master that is HC.

Another book in Harlan Coben’s Myron Bolitar series - not read any of these before but this can be read as a stand alone book.

Myron has a sports agency, and when he finds out that a client that he thought was dead, Greg Downing, seems to reappear and is involved in a murder, he joins forces with his friend and attorney Win Lockwood (who seems to have a never-ending supply of contacts and resources) to find him.
As they start looking into Greg there seems to be a number of other murders with similar MOs. Is there a serial killer on the loose, and is Myron next?
A good easy read. - fans of Coben will enjoy it.
Thanks to #Netgalley for the DRC

Thanks to Netgalley and Random House Cornerstone for the ARC of this book.
I quite enjoyed reading this book but I didn’t love it. Took a bit of time to get used to the characters and the unusual American names made it a bit harder. The relationship between Myron and Win is somewhat unusual but works so well.
Harlan Coben always writes such fantastic books that are different and standout but this one wasn’t for me.

When the FBI approaches Myron Bolitar enquiring about the whereabouts of one of his clients he doesn’t even have to think about the answer. His client, Greg Downing, has been dead for three years. The FBI thinks differently and wants to speak to him about a recent double murder.

The Myron Bolitar series was my introduction to Harlan Coben’s writing almost thirty years ago and since then I’ve followed the ins and outs of Myron Bolitar. My only real complaint about the series is that there aren’t more books, maybe the scarcity of books is one of the reasons I love the series so much. Needless to say, I was pleased to get my hands on book 12, Think Twice.

All of the familiar characters feature in Think Twice, along with some of the minor ones who’ve been part of Myron’s life for the previous eleven books.

Having returned to representing clients, Myron is shocked when the FBI claims one of his clients who has been dead for three years is wanted for a recent murder and has connections to a five-year-old murder. That client is Myron’s old nemesis, Greg Downing. The history between Myron and Greg is long and chequered. They were competitors in basketball until Greg ended Myron’s career before it had barely started. Greg went on to marry Myron’s college girlfriend, Emily. Unbeknownst to Greg, Myron and Emily slept together the night before the wedding and conceived a child, a child Greg raised as his own for thirteen years before he found out the truth. Despite all this Myron is convinced that Greg wouldn’t be involved in murder but he is puzzled as to why he’d want people to think he’s dead.

Supported by his best friend, Win, he tracks down people who have connections to Greg. This leads to a very tense scene with mafia-style criminals and I did wonder if Myron had met his match. As Myron keeps digging the closer he seems to be getting to the truth, but there is that constant nagging feeling that people are holding back.

Thankfully, whenever danger lurks Win is around to help. Win is my favourite character. He comes across as not really caring but fans know he’s hyper-vigilant, highly skilled and usually a couple of steps ahead of everyone else. He does seem to have mellowed a little bit over the years, is age creeping up on him? He’s even taken note of the #MeToo movement. It’s the banter between the pair though that makes the story.

The narrative keeps you intrigued. The author has done an excellent job of keeping the identity of the lurking killer until the end, but even then there are still shocks in store for the reader. I felt so emotional as I was reading, really not sure how the book was going to end. I even got to the point where I wasn’t sure if I wanted to read on and find out. Bravo to Harlan Coben for the suspense (but please can we have more).

Another fast-paced thriller from Harlen Coben - great characterisation, excellent plot twist, delivers exactly what you'd expect.

Another incredible Harlan Coben book!
I love Myron and Win’s friendship and work dynamics while working on this case. They are brilliant characters and so true to life. The plot is fast paced and will keep you guessing until the very end. Highly recommend!

My first Myron Bolitar novel which I have thoroughly enjoyed. The story of a serial killer framing others for their kills was an intriguing plot and one that kept me guessing right to the end. I now may go back and read more of this series.

Many thanks to NetGalley, Random House UK, Cornerstone and Harlan Cohen for my ARC of 'Think Twice' in return for an honest review.

I have read several of this author's novels and they have always entertained, as this one did. This is part of a series of books around Myron Bolitar although it can easily be read as a standalone.

Myron, a former basketball player and sports agent is visited by the FBI asking if he knows where to find Greg Downing. Greg supposedly died three years before this and he was the reason Myron had to quit basketball. Their history together is mixed with many problems but Greg's DNA has been found at the scene of the murders so he appears to still be alive.

Myron, together with his compatriot, Wyn, take on the search for the truth. There are so many twists and turns along the way culminating in a thrilling finale.

Highly recommended.

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.

With thanks to netgalley for early access to this book in return for an honest review. #Random House UK, Cornerstone #netgalley #think twice

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!
