Although this will be Book 12 in the series, it’s the first Myron Bolitar book for me. Having read Coben’s standalone stories and really enjoyed them, I thought this would appeal. Unfortunately it was not to my taste.

I will definitely be in the minority here, as I know what a huge following this series has, but to me it seemed extremely repetitive, with the same explanations given over and over. When the plot was moving along it was well written and I did enjoy the humour, though not the sarcasm, and I especially liked Win, but that didn’t carry the story, and I found it a bit of a slog at times. I think a tighter edit is needed to get rid of all the filler.

Back to the standalones for me!

Thank you NetGalley and Random House.

As any of Harlan Coben’s books this one did not disappoint. Great array of twists and turns, exciting and gripping plot. I’d recommend this book to anyone that likes page turning books full of surprises. I’ve read it in one seat as I just couldn’t stop. Great work

I was thrilled to be given the chance to read the ARC of Think Twice. I'm a huge Harlen Coben fan. This book is brilliant, a really clever plot and an interesting end. I'm looking forward to his next book already

Yet another cracking read from Harlan . Myron Bolitar and his partner Win are dragged into investigating a murder after the DNA of his former client Greg is found at a murder scene. Greg died 3 years earlier so what is happening. ? Greg has a connection to the victim but it seems rather spurious , but then his DNA is found at another scene. There is a tip off about connections to other killings now being called the "Frame up murders". Various people have been convicted of these murders but is there too much obvious evidence in all these cases.There are lots of surprises and twists as the story unfolds opening up new revelations between Greg and Myron and their son Jeremy.

I had forgotten just how good Harlan Coben is. I was completely addicted and I bloody love Myron Bolitar! The storyline was gripping and it felt like being amongst old friends. I shed a little tear with that perfect final page!

The premise was interesting and the pacing good, each time a plot or revelation was made, the next thing was quick to follow and it pulled my interest along like a dog on a lead.

I loved the humour. I liked that we explored Win and Myron's relationship a little more than I remember from previous books and that elements from the Win series were subtly interwoven.

I found it repetitive at times, both in terms of the writing and the plot. The writing had the same words used repeatedly (once one person said tangentially they all used it on repeat) I'm sure a few times I read whole sentences that had come before.
Plot wise, because it tied in with Myron's past so heavily there was a lot of recap and repetition. If I read about Myron and Greg being enemies on court/Greg being Myron's downfall/staring each other down on court etc or Myron and Emily and the proposal/chemistry. Jeremy calling Greg Dad, and Myron being okay/not okay and explaining the relationships... Once to provide context was enough, twice to hammer home one point somewhere in the book, acceptable. But it was almost every time that these characters were in a room together. It was these repetitive sections that took away from the main plot.

Overall, I enjoyed it, and maybe it will be edited again before the final release to fine tune some of the syntax etc

Five well deserved stars 🌟

I've read lots of Harlen Coben books before but none with Mylon and Win. I will definitely be reading more of them now. I loved both of there characters both very witty and loved the banter between them both. The book started off very fast paced but I struggled a little bit half way through but I put that down to me being distracted and my mood. Once I got back into it after reading a few more chapters I was hooked again a real page turner. I was guessing all the way through and it all came together very clever, and I loved it. Harlen Coben does it once again with another fantastic read. So thankful that I could receive an Arc from netgalley to review one of my many favourite authors.

5 well deserved stars 🌟

Another gripping page-turner from Harlan Coben. Yes, the characters are unbelievable, and yes, the plot (whilst clever) is preposterous, but that doesn't matter. Harlan Coben knows what works, and what people like, and his books never disappoint, which is why I (and many many others) are such fans.

After too long away, the gangs back Myron,Win,Esperance, and Big Cindi, reminding us what we've been missing. I was very excited to be able to read this new book from Harlan Coben. It's filled as always with twists and turns,humour, and a gripping storyline.
The friendship between Myron and Win is for me one of the best in a book series,Wins sarcasm is, as usual, on point, and Myron's phone conversations with his parents are hilarious.
The killer has a few chapters from their point of view, which made the tension build nicely.
The ending was a really worrying moment (no spoilers,you'll have to read to find out)
A brilliant read just hope we don’t have to wait to long to catch up with the main characters again.
Thanks to Netgalley and Random House UK for the ARC.

This book was a total page-turner!

I devoured it in a day and a half, utterly unable to set it aside. I had no idea that it was part of a series when I requested the ARC, but it’s no surprise the characters were so incredibly well-developed, each with a distinct personality that drew me in immediately and their history was like the cherry on top.
The humor injected into the dialogue gave it a lively pace, and I couldn't get enough. The creepy killer's POV kept me guessing until the last moment.

I'm dying for a sequel but I know it’d probably be years away if ever. So I’ll just cherish this book as a standalone for now.

Thank you NetGalley and Random House UK for the digital ARC!

Embarrassed to say, up until this point I had never read any of Harlan Cobens books 😩 I know I know absolutely appalling and something that is massively going to change! Having watched Shelter I decided to start looking at the books and came across this book first and WOW I have been missing out on a fantastic author who knows how to write a story! No spoiler's from me but this book has kept me entertained at every page and annoyed that I’ve only just started to read these books. I would recommend to anyone who is a fan of unravelling a mystery and if like me you’ve read a book out of synch to the others not to worry as it’s a brilliant stand alone story. Now please excuse me whilst I go to download all the other books I’ve not read yet!!!

I’ve watched a number of Harlan Coben TV adaptations, but I’ve never actually read any of his books, so this was my first one. Despite it being part of a series, it can definitely be read as a standalone, and I absolutely devoured it!

This was full of twists and turns throughout, and as the story progressed I just needed more and more. It was so cleverly written and I totally fell in love with the main characters, Myron and Win. The side characters were lovable too, and the personal elements of the story intertwining with the murders was sooo good! I was so invested in the story and some parts were definitely emotional.

I will 100% be picking up more from Harlen Coben and thoroughly recommend this one which is out later this year!

Incredibly witty and well written as per usual for Harlan Coben but unfortunately I just did not gel with the main character at all.

Thank you to Netgallery and the publisher for this ARC. The publication date is the 23rd May. I loved this book would love if this was turned into a film like some of his other books!

Harlan Coben does it again another fast- paced thriller that made me eagerly turn the pages on my kindle during to know what would happen next!

My favourite character was Myron I have liked them all the way through they are an empathetic and strong character! Overall, I throughly enjoyed this book it was a long time coming but it was worth the wait!

A very enjoyable book written by New York Times bestselling author Harlan Coben. Fast paced action story that keeps the readers attention. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the chance to ARC this book.

When two FBI agents show up at Myron's office asking for the location of one of Myron's former clients, whose funeral Myron delivered the eulogy at three years ago, it sends Myron and Win on a hunt for the truth. But the truth can be a dangerous thing...

Think Twice is the latest instalment in one of my favourite series, featuring ex-basketball player turned sports rep Myron, and his closest friend and partner-in-fighting-crime Win. I adore this duo, with their investigate know-how and witty banter, and I have a particular soft spot for the morally ambiguous Win. I particularly loved the way Harlan Coben has made sure Myron and Win move with the times, and while it could feel a little heavy-handed at times, I definitely think that this was the right decision. Although some of the references to past books lost me a little, I think overall Coben captures a good balance between pleasing fans of the series, and ensuring Think Twice can be read as a standalone.

The story of Myron and Win's investigation is interspersed with snippets from the perspective of the killer, as Think Twice reveals a smart and interesting plot that kept me guessing until the very end. I loved the way Coben uses this book to raise questions about the way murder enquiries are handled, and his writing proves itself once again to be as thought-provoking as it is entertaining. Think Twice was a four-star rather than a five-star read for me, because between all the different plot turns and threads (as Coben attempts to continue an old series as well as tell a new story) I wasn't quite as gripped as I would have liked. But I really enjoyed returning to these characters, and as long as Harlan Coben keeps writing this series, I will continue to read it.

Wow! This book is gripping from page one! The first chapter makes sure you're already addicted and need to keep reading. With lots of suspense, twists and turns we are kept gripped until the very last page!

It's been a few years since we last met Myron and Win working together and it doesn't take long for everything to slot back into place for the reader. Harlan Coben is an absolute master of this kind of book and the characters are so well developed now that it's like rejoining old friends. The story is pacey from the start and twists all over the place, visiting old faces and new, and keeps you guessing to the end. Myron and Win are aging now and that's covered in the story too, the fact that they are not quite able to maintain the pace of their old cases and the ending is set up for a slightly new direction if required.

I was so pleased to get the chance to read this and it absolutely didn't let me down. A great read and very obviously another massive hit waiting to happen!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy in return for an honest review.

Harlan Coben does it again….

This one has a different feel to others I have read but my gosh it’s so good! There is nothing more to be said here!!! Pick it up, read it and let him take you to his wonderful world!!

Thank you to NetGalley, Harlan Coben and the publishers for allowing me the advanced copy for a review. You wonderful people!
