Product Description

THE GUARDIAN 'Digested Read', 3 January 05
"Just an everyday tale of normal law-abiding, cross-dressing psychotic New Yorkers." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Top notch page turner, 11 Mar 2004
By N. Brett (Wiltshire, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: The Final Detail
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.
It is all here, the wit, the banter, the twists and the way it all comes together neatly in the end.
Very enjoyable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Warning - Not a new book, 18 Jan 2005
This review is from: The Final Detail
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 :-)) )

3.0 out of 5 stars For the Harlan Coben novices out there ...., 9 April 2006
By J. White "b00km0nster" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have only recently discovered Harlan Coben and as the other books I had read were stand alone, I didn't realise when I bought this that it was part of a Myron Bolitar series.

It definitely wasn't a bad book - one of those hard-to-put-downs that you can polish off in a weekend. While it had its fair share of twists and turns, it wasn't the cleverest of plots, but it did make up for it with a few moments of laugh out loud dialogue and an amusingly cynical take on the world of golf.

However, unless you are deeply entrenched in the Myron Bolitar world, be prepared to wade through seemingly irrelevant references to past events and characters that have nothing do do with this particular story ... at times I felt like the invited guest at a family dinner packed with in-jokes.

Having said all that, I enjoyed it enough to go out there and do my research and will be starting again on the first Myron Bolitar novel - Deal Breaker. Would suggest other novices do just that!
