Let me just say: I love Myron Bolitar. Now I have realized that a majority of my affection was based on the interpretation of Jonathan Marosz (books 1-7 yawza!). This book was not narrated by JM and it also broke form by being told in the first person.
Too much change for this old dog? maybe. But this was my least favorite Myron Bolitar adventure. The terrorist plot was a little much, the self-referential mention of Coben's book to movie (Tell No One), the unfinished business at the end - it all just makes me sad. 2.25 stars
I always enjoy Harlan Coben! Myron finds himself in some rather dire circumstances in this book which present some disturbing issues for the reader's consideration. While the witty banter and usual characters are present, plus some new characters I would have enjoyed to see in the future, I thought this was a bit of a departure from the usual Myron Bolitar fare - not necessarily better or worse, just different. Stephen Weber's narration is terrific and really adds to the enjoyment of the book.
I found myself holding my breath and my heart was racing at the climax of the book. Other times I was laughing at Myron's smart-aleck remarks. Another great story by Coben.
