Product Description
Review
"Coben produces his usual mix of hard-boiled crime and wise-guy humour... with Bolitar, it's the mayhem that keeps the pages turning." (Andrea Henry DAILY MIRROR, 17 December )
"Just an everyday tale of normal law-abiding, cross-dressing psychotic New Yorkers." (THE GUARDIAN 'Digested Read', 3 January 05 )
"An outstanding success. This is a grand, rollicking read full of refreshing, new-style writing, snappy one-liners and clever repartee. In terms of plot, Coben cannot be faulted. You might fail to spot whodunit and, when all is revealed, feel genuine surprise and deight. If you read only one American novel this year, make sure that it is this one." (SUNDAY EXPRESS, 20 Feb )
"Coben handles a large cast with skill. Entertaining" (Philip Nolan IRELAND ON SUNDAY, 23 Jan )
"Coben, as ever, takes us on a gritty, pungent journey into some of the less savoury byways of human behaviour; a journey shot through with sardonic humour and trenchant observation." (Barry Forshaw THE INDEPENDENT, 14 Feb )
"Another hit." (Alex Gordon PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH, 15 Jan ) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Top notch page turner,
By
This review is from: The Final Detail: A Myron Bolitar Novel
Myron returns from a break to find his partner Esperanza has been arrested for the murder of one of their clients. No-one will tell Myron and Win what is going on and their investigations take them to some unexpected places and into areas no-one wants them to go.If you like the author and/or the Bolitar stories then you will love this. It has all the elements of plot twists, wit and character inter-play that we have come to expect and it all hangs together very well. Interestingly Coben has, in places, introduced a couple of subtle changes to his narrative. There are some slightly darker aspects to this one and there are times where he puts humour directly into the narrative rather then into the things his characters say but it does work well.

Enjoyable but slightly disappointing,
By Net (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Final Detail (Paperback)
This was my first book by this author so I had no idea what to expect. On the whole it was a good read. The style of writing was witty, fresh and very entertaining. I liked the fact that the main character was emotionally vulnerable; in so many books the 'hero' is hard as nails, nothing gets to them, so I found it refreshing that Myron wasn't portrayed in this way. I also really liked his sidekick Win and the rapport between those characters. Win's attitude and philosophy of life did make me smile; he is a great complementary character.
I was all set to give this book 4 stars but the ending just didn't grab me. I felt after such a great build up it ended rather flat. I would definitely read more of HC's stuff although I did feel a little disadvantaged not reading the previous MB books.

Warning - Not a new book,
This review is from: The Final Detail: A Myron Bolitar Novel
Fantastic book. Love all of Coben's books, particularly the Myron series. Was thrilled to see this one appear, then mightily disappointed to realise it is a re-issue of a previous book! I had already read it and nearly bought it again, so beware. However, if you have never read a Coben book, log on now and buy the lot, you won't regret it. (I sound like his agent :-)) )
