I am a huge Harlan Coben fan, having read every book in the Myron Bolitar series. Mickey Bolitar is Myon's 14-year-old nephew, and in true Coben style, this is a good page-turner. The reading level recommended is "Young adult" and there is the major difference in the two 'heroes'. The book definitely reads for a younger audience, and although I wouldn't say that I was disappointed exactly, I did miss the more adult humor that is interjected into all of the Myron books. Myron has such a tiny role in this novel that his unassertive actions border on being out of character. He doesn't even guess that his nephew is in trouble?? Come on!!
