I was really fascinated by the plot of the story. A friend who you believe is dead all of a sudden is a suspect in a murder!? When DNA puts his friend at the murder scene, Myron instantly starts investigating. Is his friend really alive? Is he really a murderer? Is he being framed? Parts of the story did seem dragged out and lost my attention a little bit but the end grabbed my attention right back. I would recommend this book, but I would suggest reading the rest of the series first to get to know the characters better.

I'm a long-time Coben reader and have read all 11 other books in this series. So of course I felt nostalgic while reading this one! Win and Myron are getting old which means so am I! This book just kind of made me laugh in a way. Win and Myron's shenanigans are so unrealistic and I think if I didn't "grow up" reading this series, I'm not sure I would have enjoyed it. But it's like I become a different reader when I read anything Harlan Coben and I find myself excusing some things that would make me roll my eyes with other authors or characters (the humor, references to today's culture, etc).

As for the storyline, whoa. Was not expecting one! I really wasn't sure what the outcome was going to be until it was revealed. I loved the tie in from all the past characters and the smalls nods back to his previous works. Like I said, It just feels nostalgic and familiar in a way that is comforting. I think the backstory was explained well-enough to make this a standalone, but that also led to some repetition. You might find that annoying if you already remember the backstories, but it was helpful to me having spent a long time away from the Myron universe.

Thank you NetGalley and .Grand Central Publishing for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I love most of coban’s stuff but this was so underwhelming for me. I understand I might miss some stuff because I haven’t read the others in the series but I didn’t find the mystery compelling at all and even in the gotcha moment I didn’t see it coming but not in an exciting way

Think Twice by Harlan Coben is a fast paced thriller

When the FBI shows up to see Win and Myron Bolitar, they are stumped when they ask about a client named Greg Downing. Gregs DNA has connected him to a murder, but that would be impossible because he died three years ago. As they begin their own investigation into Greg Downing, Myron and Win discover secrets that were well hidden, landing themselves in the crosshairs of a Mob Boss and his henchmen. I loved the characters, especially Win, Myron, and Esperanza. As they slowly unravel this mystery, they find more twists and turns, making this murderous mystery a fun rollercoaster style thrill ride from beginning to end.

What will they uncover? And how is the other murders connected? And most of all, how is the DNA of a deadman at a murder scene three years after his death?

This was my first read for this series, and this author, and although I was able to follow the storyline, I will definitely read the previous books. I definitely recommend this read as it’s an engaging fast paced story.

I just love Myron and Win. Harlan Coben is one of my favorite authors and it's been too long since I've read him. This story was a delight and I devoured it.
DNA from one of Myron's ex-clients is found on a woman who was murdered; the only issue is that this client has been dead for the past 3 years. Myron teams up with all the gang to chase down clues and solve the mystery.
There are many different characters so it was difficult to keep everyone straight but I really enjoyed this book. And that ending....oh boy.

Mr Coben brings back Myron and Win for another mystery/thriller featuring a serial killer that not only murders their victim, but frames and provides a suspect. Lots of twists and turns with an ending you don't see coming.

I could not wait to read Coben’s new book and I could not put it down! Thank you Harlan Coben for FINALLY bringing Myron, Win, Big Cyndi & Esperanza back together! This book was quite tense near the end, but I’m hoping we’ll see these favorite characters again soon. Thanks for the advanced read!!

Fantastic! I love Myron Bolitar.

A woman is murdered and all evidence leads to an old rival of Myron’s who has been dead for 2 years. Of course Myron has to figure this puzzle out. But who will be hurt in the processes? It’s twisty and turny making you think it’s this person or that one and in the end it’s shocking because it may be someone else entirely. Or not.

Bit of a slow burn but totally worth it. Adrenaline inducing ending that had me on the edge of my seat. It’s going to be very interesting to see what happens next. And I am here for it. So good.

Thank you to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing.

Absolutely fantastic. This is probably the best book I have read all year. The twists and turns, and the revelations and then even more twists! Highly recommended for all fans of Mr Coben. He hits it out of the park with this one. Wow.

Myron gave the eulogy at his client’s funeral several years ago so why are there two FBI agents in his office asking where he is. Greg was once Myron’s main competition through high school, college, and into the pros. But Greg is also the guy responsible for Myron’s career ending knee injury. According to the two agents he is still alive because they found evidence of him at a double homicide. The race is on who will find him first Myron or the FBI.
This was a great read, I liked it a lot, however I have been hooked on Myron since he first came out. Wyn intrigues me so I guess maybe that is what keeps me coming back. There is so much action and suspense I think one of these days I will just fall out of my seat. The storyline is awesome and the characters developed well throughout the book, I can’t say much more as I don’t do spoilers. It really is a wonderful book.

I definitely didn’t guess the serial killer. I liked how the murders always had 2 victims, the second being the person they framed for the murder. Was a pretty quick read. I didn’t like that it wasn’t very detailed on how the victims were chosen.

I have to confess, while I have watched every series based on Harlan Coban’s books, this was the first book I’ve read. Won’t be the last! Love his writing style. Think Twice sees Myron Bolitar thrust into the search for a serial killer who specializes in framing innocent people. Such a fascinating premise and lots of twists and turns. Thanks to NetGalley and Grand Central for the opportunity to read this ARC!

Man I have missed Myron! Especially the banter and witty remarks between him and Win. But it feels like we both aged since last time! This book has everything I am looking for. It has mystery, suspense, comedy and drama. It's action-packed with an edge-of-the seat ending. One of my favorites in this series. I highly recommend this book.

Thank you to NetGalley, Grand Central Publishing and Harlan Coben for an ARC of 'Think Twice'.

Myron Bolitar discovers that former friend/rival Greg Downing may not actually be deceased—his DNAhas shown up on the scene of a murder. Myron teams up with Win to clear his old friend’s name & end the reign of a serial killer.

I have not read any of the Myron Bolitar books but that didn’t matter at all. This book was engaging & kept me guessing until the end. I need to read more Harlan Coben!

Thank you to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing

First of all, I requested this book due to reading and loving all Harlan Coben’s stand alone novels. I didn’t realize that this was book 12 of the Myron Bolitar series, of which I’ve read zero. That being said, this book is great even without all the previous novels, but it makes me want to dive deeper into the lives of these characters and go back and start at the beginning.

Myron and his friend Win have recently reopened their sports management business when the FBI shows up with DNA evidence that Myron’s former client and rival Greg has committed murder. Which can’t be true because Greg has been dead for three years. Myron and Win begin digging into finding all these people involved who are now “dead” or off the grid, and find links to other murders. It appears there’s a serial killer whose MO is framing others to take the fall for the murders.

This book was definitely very fast paced and enjoyable. The character development is great, storyline is different than a lot I’ve read lately so that made it hard to put down. Very good read! I highly recommend this book!!

I was so glad to see Myron back. I hope Harlan Coben will continue to write more books in this series.

Think Twice is Book 12 in the Myron Bolitar mysteries. I haven't read all of the Myron Bolitar books, but I've read enough to know who the players are and how they relate to one another, but it really isn't necessary to have read the previous books to love this one. Myron and Win are sent on a cross-country investigation after a man they thought was dead is presumed alive. As they search for answers, they only find more questions, including some about Myron's biological son! This is a fast-paced book that never gives Myron, or the reader, a break. The double twist at the end was a "oh, wow," moment that I loved. It's time to read the Myron Bolitar books I haven't read yet.

Another book that’s hard to put down! Harlan Coben’s stories do not disappoint! This one has several twists and turns that were unexpected! Enjoyed it!

Myron Bolitar is confused when it seems forensic evidence of a long=ago basketball rival and client is found at a murder scene. What is odd that Greg Downing has been dead for three years. Myron finds himself searching for answers of why and how all this could be possible. As Myron and Win set out to find the truth they uncover and tangled mess of relationships with many folks involved. Coben inserts short chapters narrated by the unnamed killer which are extended red herring teases. Action is fast-paced with borderline rushed writing as Myron and Win do not lack for money to jet across the country following clues. Readers unfamiliar with the Myron Bolitar series might experience head-spinning confusion at the different past and present romances. There is a desire to really like this novel, but it ultimately falls short in credibility as Myron is portrayed as something of a superhero.

Thank you Grand Central Publishing and NetGalley for the Arc it Think Twice by Harlan Coben.

I have high expectations for Harlan Coben and this book did not disappoint. I thought I had it figured out a few times, but I should know better. The twists kept coming until the very end.
