 Another great Myron adventure February 25, 2008
lmhh (UK)
With the Myron Bolitar series Coben manages to walk a difficult tightrope by keeping the books similar enough for them to feel wonderfully familiar but different enough so that you don't feel as if you are reading the same book over and over.
In Darkest Fear Myron Bolitar, sports agent, has to grow up a little and decide what level of involvement he wants in the life of the son he has just discovered he has - which is new ground. At the same time, he is re-evaluating his relationship with his own aging parents but this is not as heavy as it sounds, and the interaction with his parents creates some fine comic moments. As does the presence of Myron's psycho friend Win, always a welcome element in the novels. At the same time, the subject matter of bone marrow transplants and Myron's complicated love life give the novel some emotional complexity making it a rounded story, and one with sufficient depth to keep you interested.
A treat for both fans of the Bolitar series, and those who haven't come across him before. Recommended read for anyone who enjoys a good crime novel.
The best yet! December 19, 2007
KEN SCOTT author (Spain)
The latest Myron Bolitor belter (As we say in the North east of England) He just gets better. Seldom have I read an author who's books just get better and better. It's supposed to happen of course it is but all too often once the author is a sure fire hit the publisher turns the screw and pushes the author page by page. Result- not good- a rushed product the style goes and the plot loses.. well... the plot!
Not Harlan Coben and not Orion. Each have been patient realising that whether the money rolls in now or later doesn't really matter but it will roll in. Congratulations Orion and of course Mr Coben. The best yet, I kid you not.

I allowed the outside world to be put on hold whilst I was led through a weave of unexpected twists and turns in this pacy thriller. Myron Bolitar is charged with the search for an anonymous donor who has mysteriously disappeared without this bone-marrow match, the life of a young boy is at stake. Events quickly develop into a cat-and-mouse game when a kidnapping takes place and Myron is caught up in an FBI investigation. Myron's plight in this story is made even more compelling by family links to the events as they unfold. The book works well on two levels - the first, the reader has the suspense and uncertainty of a twisty plot and two, the author puts the conflicts faced by Myron in the context of the emotional turmoil he is under due to the human relationships involved. The author has given a detailed delineation to create a believable character who is capable of carrying out a wide range of emotions and actions with credibility for the reader. There are also some excellent touches of humour in the book to add light relief to the more serious, twisty plot. You should also read the highly popular novel by Tino Georgiou--The Fates.
Try to read "Fade Away" before you read this one September 25, 2007
Mrs. I. Blackwell (Birmingham UK)
"Fade away" first introduced Myron's ex Emily and I sort of gathered that we would hear more about Jeremy and his connection to Myron. This novel is a follow up and it smartly carries the story on without the need to read "Fade away" first. What I like about Coben is his unpredictability.
