Review

'Myron Bolitar is back - and then some. ****' (DAILY MIRROR )

'A dramatic, exciting and scarily believable novel - and the millions of Coben fans worldwide will love it.' (BELLA )

'Drum rolls and thunder - he's back! After a three-year gap Coben has delivered the latest episode featuring one of the most captivating protagonists in contemporary Thrillerville... Oh, the heart-thudding brilliance of it all - the suspense, twists, and a climax so amazing that you might need a lie down in a dark room to recover.' (DAILY RECORD )

'A scary story on several levels, as the thriller tidily - but never glibly - incoporates various twenty-first century controversies.' (TIME OUT )

'Harlan Coben's millions of fans have waited three long years for a new Myron Bolitar novel and now their patience is rewarded in spectacular fashion.' (DORSET SOCIETY )

'A plot that fairly sizzles along... Just let yourself be carried along by Coben's flow and you won't go far wrong.'6 (YORKSHIRE EVENING POST )

'Harlan Coben's scores of fans have waited three years for a new Myron Bolitar novel - they won't be disappointed.' (MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS )

'[A] typically fast-paced but dark and bloody tale of family secrets and sinister organisations set in Paris and London.' (BOURNEMOUTH DAILY ECHO )

'Harlan Coben thrillers are precision-tooled page-turners. If you're looking for immediate immersion in a book that will not let you go until it's done, then Coben's your man.' (LONDON LITE )

'Harlan Coben is one of the best thriller writers around. Check out his latest, Long Lost, a superbly funny yet ultra-riveting epic' (HEAT )


Product Description

Harlan Coben's millions of fans have waited three long years for a new Myron Bolitar novel and soon their patience will be rewarded in spectacular fashion. Myron hasn't heard from Terese Collins in years. Not since their affair ended without explanation. He's had no contact with her since, so her call catches him off guard. She's in Paris, she says, in trouble and only Myron can help. Terese tells him a sad story she's never before revealed: a good marriage, her struggles to get pregnant, the happiest moment of her life when her only child was born, the day everything she'd ever loved was taken from her. As the years passed Terese heard nothing from her ex-husband, until the phone call that brought her to Paris. But on arrival, Terese finds her husband has been murdered, leaving her as a prime suspect. Then comes a startling piece of evidence that turns the entire case upside down, laying bare Terese's long-buried family secrets in the most shocking way and leaving Myron nowhere to turn for help. Caught in a foreign landscape where nothing is as it seems, he must tear apart the city - and eventually the globe - fighting for answers to unfathomable questions that will take Myron, and Harlan Coben's readers, where they have never gone before.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4 1/2 Stars -- Reads Faster Than A Speeding Bullet!, 30 April 2009
By bobbewig (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
Be prepared to put aside almost everything else you have to do when you pick up Coben's latest compulsive page-turner, Long Lost. If you're a fan of Myron Bolitar and his "crew" from the other books in this series, you'll be very happy with this thriller, although you may have to suspend your belief in Bolitar's exploits a little more than usual. If this is your first book in the series, I think you'll still enjoy Long Lost a lot; but perhaps not as much as readers that are already familiar with the characters in the series. In Long Lost Myron receives an out-of-the-blue call from ex-lover, Terese Collins, who he hasn't heard from in ten years, asking him to come to Paris to renew their once torrid relationship. Once he learns the real reason for her invitation, Myron is off to Paris. He and Terese soon find themselves trying to avoid Homeland Security, Interpol and Mossad. Long Lost is an extremely fast, intense and fun read. The only factor that causes me to subtract one-half star is that I found the ending, while very exciting, to be a bit too contrived and implausible. Nonetheless, Long Lost is a very enjoyable book and one I'd highly recommend.

3.0 out of 5 stars Time for Myron to retire?, 16 Aug 2009
By Andy Edwards "staxasoul" (Essex UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
I loved the early Myron Bolitar books, and I think I've read all Coben's novels, but I think I'll probably leave the series here. Myron's escapades always required the reader to suspend disbelief, but the wisecracking and self mocking hunour meant that the entertainment value was high - a bit like watching a cartoon.

Unfortunately, the characters have become little too one dimensional and/or predictable, and the change of scenery to Europe only serves to underline this - let's face it these are New York people - although Coben does avoid his tendancy to overplay the "dark heart of suburban America card" so noticable in his stand alone novels.

Although the basic premise of the plot is an interesting one, it's here that the suspension of disbelief becomes essential. I am not going to spoil things if you want to read it but there are too many unlikely events - at least for this reader

To summarise, Coben has written another decent novel, and it will certianly keep you entertained (I read it on holiday), and if you are new to the Myron Bolitar circus, it may well lead you to read his other novels - if you do, I think you'll see what I am on about!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Love the characters; plot stretches credulity, 6 May 2009
By L. J. Roberts (Oakland, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Long Lost (Hardcover)
First Sentence: "YOU don't know her secret," Win said to me.

When talent/sports agent Myron Bolitar's girlfriend, Ali, breaks it off, there is no reason not to respond to a call from his former lover, Terese Collins, and fly to Paris. Terese had married, had a daughter who died in a car accident, and divorced.

Myron is stopped, but released, by French Homeland security, but finds he is followed as he meets with Terese. Things quickly turn to shootouts in cafes, terrorist groups, murder and the possibility that Terese's daughter may, in fact, be alive.

The plot was certainly timely as the story involved terrorism, black sites, torture and twilight sleep. The plot was very good, in a twisty, horrible way, as it dealt with the dangers of extremism, and asks some serious questions while wrapped up in a story with some very real characters.

I had forgotten how much I like these characters; Myron, his parents, Esparanza, Big Cindy and, yes, even Win about whom we learn a bit more. There is a lot of violence and one scene with Myron's health that does stretch credulity just a bit.

The pace never slowed down, from beginning to end. It was an exciting, somewhat thought provoking, enjoyable read
