Harlen Coben's new Myron Bolivar novel, Think Twice, is a winner! This just may be his best Myron/Win book yet. In Think Twice, the whole crew is back and trying to track down a serial killer. It started a little slow but with each chapter, the suspense just kept building. Every time I had to put it down, I was rushing to get back to see what happened next.

If you are looking for a top notch mystery, this is the one to try. It is funny, suspenseful, and full of twists and turns.I have always enjoyed Coben's writing style and the characters are like old familiar friends. For a fast entertaining, easy read, full of surprises, this is a winner. I am always ready for a new Coben novel and they never disappoint.

Years after Myron Bolitar, a sports agent, eulogies basketball coach Greg Dowling with whom he has a complicated relationship, federal agents come looking for him claiming he's still alive. When Myron and his closest friend Win join the search, long buried secrets are revealed putting him in the killer's cross hairs.

I could tell that it had been a while since I had read a Myron Bolitar book as there was a lot that I didn't remember. It didn't matter as I was immediately swept into the story.

The FBI shows up at Myron's office asking questions about a former client. His DNA had been found at a crime scene. What is unique about that is that this former client is dead. He also has/had a long history with Myron as his ex-wife is the mother of Myron's son.

Myron and Win set out to find out what the story is....Is he dead? How did this happen? We travel with them to Vegas, Myron heads to Montana and various spots back east.

All of this ties into the FBI searching for a serial killer. How can this possibly be connected?

What I really enjoyed was Myron reflecting on himself and Win growing older...They look older, they feel older. It helped to connect with them since I've been reading these books for 20 years. Another good outing by Mr. Coben.

This is book 12 of the Myron Bolitar series. This series is the one that hooked me on Coben’s writing! Book 11 came out in 2016 so I was so excited to get this Advance copy! Thanks #netgalley. The publication date is May 14, 2024. Even though this is book 12 you could read this as a standalone. I suggest binging all 12 of them as fast as possible if you like thrillers! I love Myron’s character but also the whole group of extended characters is just the best! Win! Big Cyndi! Esperanza Diaz! Myrons parents! This one had me on the edge of my seat! I was so happy to be back in Myron’s world that I didn’t want to finish and be done BUT I had to know what was going to happen!! Roller coaster to the end! All the stars for this one!

Myron and Win are back!


Myron is getting back to the sports agency business with the paint not dry on the door, when two FBI agents appear in his office looking for one of his former clients. Former, because he is dead. Isn’t he?


The FBI doesn’t seem to think so and they are demanding to see him. But Myron and Win have no idea where he is or what is going on.


Greg Downing, the man in question, was/is the husband of Emily and father to Jeremy. And we all know whose father Jeremy is.


The feds have DNA at not one, but two murder scenes that match Gregs.


As Myron and Win look into things they find more murders and maybe Greg.


This may be my favorite so far. Coben has a very active imagination and I hope we see more of Myron and Win! Soon…

I love Harlan Coben so I knew i had to read this. Not knowing this was part of the larger Myron Bolitar series, i had to read this. Even as someone new to this series, i felt like I got enough background to handstand the characters just enough. I am sure with the entire series, i would know even more. This book had good pacing and was well written. The story keeps getting weirder as you continue through. I loved it and now want to read the other books in the series!

I received a free advanced copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Absolutely thrilled than Myron, Win, and the gang are back. It's been entirely too long. We always buy multiple copies for our library.

I am a fan of Coben’s novels. I love mysteries and his characters. I enjoyed this novel, but I felt there were too many twists, turns and characters. Myron Bolitar takes the lead, with his faithful partner, Win. For those who are new to the Bolitar novels, this might be confusing.

There seems to be a methodical serial killer with victims who have no apparent connection. Myron and Win become involved when their friend/nemesis Greg Downing is implicated in one of the murders. Thus begins a story of twisting motives and multiple suspects.

I enjoyed this book, but I am uncomfortable with it as a stand-alone. I look forward to reading more Coben novels.

Thank you Netgalley for this opportunity to read and review this novel.

My Rating: 5 Stars
Pages 352

I had no idea what this story was about only that Myron Bolitar is BACK!!
Yes! I am a Harlan Coben fan and Myron Bolitar is my favorite. I even read ALL the Mickey Bolitar stories! I certainly wasn’t a happy reader when Myron got married and parted ways with Harlan which was August 2016. – Yikes Nearly a decade ago!
I am a diehard Myron/Harlan fan and I have been hoping for come back. Aww delighted favorites~ Esperanza and Big Cyndi ( I still remember Big Chief Mama and Little Pocahontas –also remember that neither Cyndi nor Esperanza are Native American), parents n Al & Ellen Bolitar and of course Win - Windsor Horne Lockwood III are part of this story!
Oops almost forgot to mention, the story is great - Engaging as well as entertaining. Myron’s basketball nemesis Greg Downing “returns from the dead”. This has Myron and Win jetting around to Las Vegas, Montana etc. trying to find a serial killer.
What does ‘Joey the Toe’ have to do with this? (Joey seems like a character out of Stephanie Plum-Bounty Hunter series!)
I tore through the pages anxious to find out how it would play out.
WOW the ending was nothing I could ever come close to suspecting!!

Harlan Coben is without a doubt one of my “fav” authors. This is novel #34 for me and my twelfth Myron Bolitar – yep I have read all of them.
Coben is a great story teller and d doesn’t disappoint. This story has twists and turns I know to expect but sure don’t see coming!
Of course there is Coben’s signature wit –I have listened to several audiobooks and while I am reading I totally can hear the wit which always has me laughing out-loud!

Want to thank NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for this early eGalley.
Publishing Release Date scheduled for May 14, 2023

After all these years you can’t ever go wrong with a Myron Bolitair! The gang and their antics are all together again. Great read from start to finish with quite an end! Bingeable for sure.

Myron Bolitar, my how we’ve missed you! This time around, Myron is drawn into rehashing the feud he’ thought was over three years previous when he delivered the eulogy at his old friend and nemeses, Greg Downing’s funeral. Apparently, Greg’s DNA was found at the murder scene and under the nails of a murder victim. Previous readers will remember that Myron is the biological father of Greg’s son and this fact features prominently throughout the book. Of course, Win is there to help Myron solve the.mysteries, sometimes going far beyond Myron’s comfort zone, but always with the interests of his best friend at heart. The federal agents investigating the most recent murder as well as one five years prior open up a whole slew of questions, Myron feels bound to answer. As always, Mr. Coben keeps us on the edge of our seats while making the reader , at times, laugh out loud. “Think Twice” was a joy to read and I would like to thank NetGalley and Hatchette Book Group for the opportunity to read the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

How can a dead man's DNA show up at a murder scene? Myron Bolitar spoke at his friend and former client Greg Downings funeral three years ago. Now him and his associate Win will dive into a dangerous business of finding out where all these clues will lead them. As usual Harlan Coben does not disappoint. A page turner with many twists you will surely enjoy.

I think this might be my favorite Myron Bolitar novel yet! A great storyline and an explosive ending left me breathless. Many thanks to the author, netgalley and the publisher for this early copy for read and review

Another satisfyingly twisting, turning and suspenseful Harlan Coben novel, Think Twice brings the heat to challenge our ideas on friendship, love and getting away with murder. It’s a classic Coben brain bender that keeps you guessing and entertains at a high level.

Former basketball star turned sports agent Myron Bolitar is approached by the FBI demanding to know where his friend, client and murder suspect Greg Downing is located. Only problem is that Greg died 3 years ago. But Myron starts to think, what if he isn’t really dead? Myron teams up with his friends and colleagues to investigate, bringing him from New York to Las Vegas to Montana and places in between. And what they uncover goes beyond the one murder, shining a light on a sinister plot that could be the work of a meticulous serial killer. Now the only question is can they identify the killer’s identity before more people – including Myron – end up dead?

Long time Coben fans will enjoy this story that features characters they know and love and how they are challenged in Think Twice. But if you aren’t familiar with these characters, don’t let that scare you away from picking up this book. It’s easy to catch up on the character’s histories and relationships within the plot of this story. And it’s a hell of a plot featuring someone back from the dead, multiple murders, innocents being framed, twisted personal relationships, private jets and more. All the while keeping you guessing on who’s the culprit, who knows what and how’s it going to end.

Another fantastic novel for the Coben catalog. It’s high on drama, hitting all the right notes to keep you in suspense before finishing with a bang.

When I finished the Myron Bolitar series a few years ago, I was honestly sad that it was over, like saying goodbye to a friend. So I can't even begin to explain my excitement when I saw the words Myron Bolitar in the description. I didn't even finish reading the synopsis, I saw those words and hit request faster than I could think. As always, Harlan Coben is on a roll as I have yet to read a novel of his that I didn't love.This was jam-packed with tons of action, mystery, suspense, laughter, and heartfelt emotion, leaving me teary-eyed towards the end. Each character is more entertaining and intriguing than the next, and the plot was perfect for this series and yet can still be read as a stand-alone. If you need a fast-paced mystery with characters you will fall in love with, this one is for you. Four and a half stars.

Thank you, Netgalley and Grand Central Publishing, for this ARC.

This is the second Harlan Coben book I've read featuring Win. Enjoyed this one as well! I thought I had figured it all out about half way through, but it was a fun read, so I didn't care that much. And then as it turns out I was actually wrong about how the book was going to end, so a fun read and enjoyable ending. Good combo!

My favorite Myron Bolitar book to date - but then, I say that each time a new one comes along.
Myron's former star client, Greg Downing is dead - he attended his funeral and even gave the eulogy.
So when Greg's fingerprints show up at a murder scene and the FBI visit Myron demanding answers, he goes on
a quest, with his faithful friend Win,, to find those answers.
What follows is a fabulous story of intrigue, blackmail, murder and in the middle of it all, a long overdue reckoning of sorts,
between Myron and his birth son Jeremy, with whom he has had a strained relationship since he saved his
son's life with a same blood type transplant. when he was just 13, Jeremy is grown now and in the military. Greg
Downing is his acknowledged father and this interlude makes it all real and a lot more humane in the midst of
death and torture.
Great defined characters with some dubious but enviable lifestyles and locales that light up the story.
It is another great, "can not put down" book by Coben and once again, he manages to clear the bases and send it
right over the fence,
My only negative: is that it ended much too soon.
I was so ready to keep reading and reading and......................................

I was so pleased to get early access to the latest in the Myron Bolitar series, "Think Twice", by Harlan Coben. While I enjoy all of his books, I am especially fond of this series,

The cast of characters felt familiar and comfortable albeit a little older and perhaps more mortal and fallible. The plot incorporated age-old themes including the complexity of family relationships, growing old, forgiveness, but also touched on contemporary themes in the form of seemingly incontrovertible DNA evidence at a murder scene.

The opening scenes immediately caught and held my attention, leaving me desperately needing to find out "who done it". As the story continued, it exposed the many layers and motivations of the characters and reminded us frequently along the way that things are not necessarily as they seem. Even science may in fact live in the gray area between black and white.

As with any long-running series the characters can take on a feeling of immortality. We expect that that Myron, Win, Esperanza, Big Cindy, etc. will be around for the next installment. Without any spoilers, I will say that this book shook up that feeling in a profound and honest way. I do hope that there will be more books in this series featuring Myron.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Three years ago, Myron Bolitar have a eulogy for his former client and 'frenemy' Greg Downing Now, federal agents claim that Greg is alive and wanted for a double homicide. Who does Myron call - Win of course and they set out to uncover the truth. But being book 12 in this series - Myron and Win are peas in a pod... some of my favorite characters in any series.. especially thriller. Yes, this can be read as a standalone, you get enough background on the characters and how they tie in, but they grow on the reader and you come to expect smart a$$ comments from Win and wait for a shot to be fired or Huey Lewis and the News to play in the background. I love these books, this series and Harlan Coben's other books. He is a go to auto buy author for me. The banter between Win and Myron never disappoints, you will want more for certain characters in the series and cheer them on. This page turner is a must read... Harlan Coben fans know and understand this when I say "articulate"

LOVED this book!!! Myron and Win are back again....once more trying to prove that you don't need a badge to solve a crime.

They're both a bit older, and the years have taken their toll, but their minds and instincts are as sharp as ever. When the FBI questions Myron about how his dead client's DNA is found at a murder scene, Myron feels compelled to investigate, with Win by his side. What they find is so much worse than they could ever have imagined....

I couldn't put this book down. It's filled with lots of twists and turns that kept me flipping pages just as quickly as possible. This is a must read for fans of the genre.
