It's been years since I read a Harlan Coben book and I had completely forgotten how much I enjoyed his conversational writing style! Think Twice is the 12th novel featuring Myron Bolitar, but could easily be read as a stand alone as plenty of back story is provided. This story had me absolutely hooked from the start, a gripping page turner with plenty of twists and genuinely shocking turns that had me completely on the edge of my seat - a very easy 5 stars. Enjoy!
Thank you to Netgalley and Random House UK, Cornerstone for the review copy.

This is an excellent book as you would expect from Harlan Coben. Written with humour it grips you from the start with unexpected turns and twists but also a good human plot line

Having read and enjoyed books by this author I thought I’d give it a go. Unfortunately after being accepted I realised it was book twelve in the Myron Bolitar series and I only had the first of the series on my tbr pile. Having think twice spurred me on so I immediately got on the case and read the previous eleven books so I could read this.

This book was all I expected from a Myron Bolitar book and more. Plenty of the usual Myron escapades along with lots of the unexpected, including a murder committed by a dead man. There were some great twists in there as always that I really didn’t expect. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this series of books and I’d love it if there were more.

He’s done it again. In typical Harlan Coben fashion he has given us a book that is not only full of characters that steel your heart but also. Dark thriller which keeps you on the edge of your seat and twists and turns so you never know what’s going on. This is a brilliant story about great friends, the family you choose not the one you are born into and a depraved killer who is cleverly setting up others for murder and no one has any clue who or why. Loved it!!!You don’t need to have read the other book around Myron to enjoy this but I hope there’s more to come in the future as I love him and WYN.

Think Twice by Harlan Coben - #ARC

Thank you @netgalley 🙏🏻 My 3rd novel by this author but 1st Myron Bolitar and now I want to read the backlist 🙊

I had a great time with this novel and stayed up until the early hours because I just couldn’t wait to finish it. There was lots happening but was easy to follow and such a clever plot. Where do these authors get these ideas 🤯

What a ride! Action packed, kept me gripped from beginning to end. Just when I thought I’d figured it out I was proved wrong. Cleverly written, thought provoking and fast paced.

Definitely recommend, available to pre order and out 23rd May.

I enjoyed this a lot. I’ve read a lot of Harlan Coben’s books over the years and it felt familiar, but updated. It was thrilling with lots of twists and turns. Myron and Win are strong characters and their relationship continues to be interesting.

It’s great to be back in the world of Myron Bolitar and his friend Win. Hard to believe this is the 12th book in the series. Coben is only too aware though, there’s plenty of reflection on change and aging in this thrilling book.
Win and Myron are surprised to get a visit from the FBI to tell them that Myron’s former client Greg Downing, is suspected of murder. Mostly because Greg is dead. There was a complex relationship between them, Greg stole Myron’s college sweetheart from him, and then after a night of passion with Myron before the wedding, the girlfriend had a baby who is Myron’s child but has been raised by Greg. So there’s a personal element to this back from the dead scenario.
From this point the plot does a very Coben-esque voyage of twists and turns, with a serial killer angle with a difference. It’s all very clever.
It does have a shocking end though, which for me, makes me wonder if this is the end of the road for this series. No spoilers but it’s left me rather sad.
Very enjoyable. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

When DNA evidence is found at a recent murder the evidence show that Greg Downing as the killer. The only problem Greg Downing died 3 years ago. Myron and his friends are tasked of finding out what’s going on.
I have read quite a few of Harlan Coban’s work and especially books in the Myron Bolitar series so I couldn’t wait to get stuck into the next book in the series.
I found the blurb and the premise of this story intriguing, but I just couldn’t connect to the story, for me I just found there to be too much going on and with so many characters to really relate to them. I didn’t really much care for the characters either. I was quite disappointed, 3 stars from me.

Harlan Coben doesn't miss. All of his books read like action moves and read like movies in my head. I haven't read the rest of the books in this series but honestly don't let that put you off, it was so fast paced and as always, a twist you will never see coming!

I enjoyed parts of this book, but at times I struggled to stick with it which surprised me. This is the first time I read a Harlan Coben book, and I heard great things up to now, I’ve also watched some of the TV adaptations of his books which I thoroughly enjoyed. Perhaps I would have enjoyed this more if I had read any of the other books in this series first, though my understanding is that they can all be read independently. The twist was good, but again it didn’t blow me away, I kind of expected it from early on.

A well thought out psychological thriller.
How does a dead man carry out a number of crimes?
If you want to know how, I recommend that you read the book.
Some of the wrinkles can be guessed, but as usual there are enough twists and turns to keep the reader rivetted.
My thanks to the author for the hours of enjoyment that the book has brought me, I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Who doesn't love the mind of Harlan Coben??

How can a man who's already dead, be wanted for murder? That's the main question, and with the twists and turns of this thriller, it keeps you guessing until the very end

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for this ARC.

Fantastic book and fantastic author. Another real page turner and one I found hard to put down, and I genuinely didn't figure out who the bad guy was. Harlan Coben never disappoints.

A well deserved five stars from me.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Hadn’t realised this was a series but easily read as a standalone. I am still amused by Man United.

Harlan Coben is a great writer. This book features Myron Bolitar and the mighty Win. Old colleagues work with Bolitar to solve a very intriguing mystery of a sportsman wanted for murder ……trouble is he died three years ago. A really good book with interesting characters. 10/10

I love Myron and Win as a double act- the characters play so well off each other but the case in this book was a bit difficult to fully immerse myself into.
I liked the idea of the dead man committing crimes and the investigation into what really happened was well written but some of the relationships were a bit convoluted to follow and detracted from the pace of the investigation.
That said still a very readable book with some humour as well as the excellent detective work, just not one of the best of the Bolitar series for me.

Harlan Coben enchants us with his usual wit, tangled twists and outlandish characters.
This absolutely doesn’t disappointment if you’ve read books with Win or Myron before. If you haven’t, you can still read and enjoy this but knowing a little about those two characters enhances the pleasure all the more.
In terms of writing style and plot, this story is easy to read and doesn’t tax the brain for seasoned mystery enthusiasts.
There’s a jovial style that does remove some of the more sinister elements but that doesn’t detract from the enjoyment overall.
I don’t think it’s one of Cobens’ better works but rather still an absolute pleasure to read.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC

I found it hard not to give a higher rating. I really love Harlan Coben.

The plot was creative and certainly worth reading. I did not grasp what was happening at all. I wonder why this would surprise me. Very clever and logical that a serial killer’s methods would evolve to escape capture! Full marks on creativity and writing skill.

My only gripe in this book was the characters and relationships between them.

I don’t like books where the hero has access to unlimited resources (IT support, bodyguards, private jets) and unlimited money to help solve any problem. Too unlikely!

Relationships and the often cringeworthy dialogue were equally annoying! I did wonder whether this was a new genre - comedy thriller! Conversations often sounded ridiculous.

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

What can I say? This had me riveted from the start. Well written story and characters. Brilliant twists. Can’t wait until this is made into a series or film.

The blurb of this really drew me in. However when actually reading it, I almost DNF'ed it quite a few times. It dragged out so much, I didn't like the characters and the ending left me wishing I'd simply deleted it 10% in. So disappointing for Harlan Coben, this just wasn't for me
