Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

What keeps a reader turning the pages of a thriller? Strong characters, certainly-- Chandler gripped our attention through the most impenetrable plots with his powerfully-drawn characters. But narrative ingenuity is the ace card for most of the top writers in the genre, and it's here that Coben really excels. Of course, having a novel and unusual protagonist is a highly desirable asset, and in Myron Bolithar, his fast-thinking and vulnerable sports agent, Coben has the perfect centre for his labyrinthine plot. Living down his dubious past, Myron finds himself conned into babysitting Brenda Slaughter, the hottest female sports star around. But when her father disappears, and the mob starts leaning on her, Myron finds himself undertaking duties far more dangerous than the average sports agent ever faces. And with his old friend, the urbane and deadly Windsor Lockwood, Myron is up against very powerful men who'll go to any lengths to protect their secrets. Coben's dialogue is studded with caustic wit, and the chinks in his hero's armour (particularly on the romantic front) make his helter-skelter tale a real delight. Even those readers without a trace of an interest in sport will be firmly on board from page one, with the feisty Brenda making the perfect foil for the beleaguered Myron. Coben's American success shows every sign of being replicated in the UK. --Barry Forshaw --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


THE INDEPENDENT

'Tim Machin doesn't so much read as inhabit ONE FALSE MOVE. Coben's weary realism is chilling but his language sparkles.' --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth reading!, 5 Jul 2004
This review is from: One False Move (Hardcover)
What I love about this author is the fact that his books are so fast-paced and to the point. Myron is a loveable, funny character and never fails to make the reader smile in his witty comebacks. The ending of each chapter leaves you in suspense as you know there is a new twist just around the corner!

I read this book in two sittings, and although the plot got a little confusing toward the end, it was a decent storyline and one which you could never have guessed (as you undoubtedly can with some thrillers), and hence kept you reading. I recommend this book if you enjoyed Coben's other titles, although I agree with reviewer "jongeo" it can also be read with out having read his previous thrillers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Harlan does it again, 2 Aug 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: One False Move (Paperback)
Well, what can i say? He's done it again. Harlan has written a fantastic novel, full of surprise and witty dialogue. It picks up where number 4 in the series left off. This time he has to look after a women - Brenda Slaughter but then her father disappears.

Well i cant go into much detail as i will disturb the plot. But wow - Coben has done it again.

A typical Myron Bolitar novel - with more twists, turns than a rollercoaster - looking for a crime - thriller then this is the book for you. This is book 5 in the series - so if you havent brought any of the first four Myron Bolitar novels then i would suggest you buy those first and then come on to this - 10 outta 10.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wecome back Myron.., 12 Jan 2004
By N. Brett (Wiltshire, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: One False Move (Hardcover)
This is another in the Myron Bolitar series and while it is more of the same it is to the same high standard of all of Cobin's writing.
If you know the style and the characters, this is like meeting up with old friends. The storyline is hardly new as Myron gets caught up in a murder mystery while juggling the requirements of running a sports agency. The clever twists are still there as is the easy and witty writing style.
Over the last year or so many of us have 'discovered' Harlan Cobin and he deserves his growing readership. There are some that suggest that he needs to come up with a little different, but his books are fast paced and fun to read and that's what it is all about, isn't it?
