Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the arc of this book. I want to start by saying I have not read the other eleven books in the Myron Bolitar series. With that being said I was able to read this book and enjoy it. The author gives enough back story that I did not feel lost or that I was missing something while reading this book. Do not let it being book twelve in the series deter you from reading it. Once I started this book I could not put it down. The book had mystery, suspense, twists and turns. I greatly enjoyed this book and will probably start this series from book one now.

Thank you kindly to NetGalley & Grand Central Publishing for the digital review copy!

I’m convinced that Harlan Coben doesn’t know how to write a bad book. The prologue was just *chef’s kiss* perfect! I loved the POV of the killer—it was so unique and memorable and my only wish is that there had been more of it.

The banter and camaraderie between Win and Bolitar is—as always—so well done. These characters are fabulous and I’d love to hang out with them for a day or two.

I’ve only read a few books in this series, but I love that they work as standalones too. This was a great read!

Think Twice is the next book in the Myron Bolitar series that I would recommend reading in order. There were Easter eggs found within the book that can bring you back to some of the other books within the series. When the prime suspect is revealed it was cause readers to not be able to stop thinking because he was so called dead before. This book has twists and turns and will make you not want to put it down. I can’t wait to see what’s next within this series.

Reading a Myron Bolitar novel is like visiting old friends - we know the major characters (Myron, Win, Esperanza and Big Cindy.) This story concerns multiple unrelated murders with real (as opposed to circumstantial) evidence implicating the culprit. The plot is replete with many instances of family dynamics and is both interesting and intriguing. The writing is filled with great dialogue and repartee such as “…..when she cried like this, her makeup ran everywhere, so that her face resembled a box of crayons left in the blazing sun on a concrete surface.”

This novel is recommended for all who enjoy this genre and I thank NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for the opportunity to read and review this book prior to publication.

Myron and crew are back in force -- I am a huge fan of the series and missed them -- puns and all. ("Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder." Sigh.) You'll find an engaging plot with Myron's basketball and personal-life nemesis "returning from the dead" as part of a complicated serial-killer-hunt mystery. That said, while the denouement hangs together, it seems contrived as it works hard to pull all the plot threads together. Still a very entertaining and satisfying read, and I hope there will be a next installment soon, despite all the author's comments about Win and Myron aging.

Thanks to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for this Advanced Reader’s Copy of Think Twice by Harlan Coben due to be published May 14, 2024.
Several years ago, Myron Bolitar gave the eulogy at his friend’s funeral. So imagine his surprise when federal agents come to Myron demanding to know where his friend, Greg Downing, is – he is the main suspect in a double homicide.
I absolutely love, love, love the Myron Bolitar series and Harlan Coben so I was so excited to get this one!
It has been awhile since my last Myron book, but it didn’t take long to get back in touch with all the characters – Esperanza, Big Cindi, and the best – the banter between Myron and the ever-witty Win!
This was a good one with many twists and turns and an exciting conclusion – can’t wait for the next Myron book.
I highly recommend this series (and any of Harlan Coben’s other books) to anyone! This series is the best!

After a week spend in bed sick, receiving approval for Think Twice was just the medicine that I needed on a a Friday morning. It made me so happy to see this book download onto my kindle and I dove right in. I don’t do that very often but when it is a new Harlan Coben book the world just has to stop for a while.

I was so very happy to be back in Myron and Wins world 😊 It has been a long time and from the first page I was enthralled. The whole gang is here, Esperanza, Big Cyndi, Therese and even Ellen and Al! this fan girl was smiling all the way.

And the story, my goodness. Get ready for a wild ride across the states and Myron and Win try to find out when the FBI are looking for a client of Myron’s, a client who dies 3 years ago. Nothing is ever straight forward of course. This case will hit close to home, and put them all in danger.

This book was an intense page turner and I stayed up all night to finish it. Oh my goodness the ending!! When you read it please message me as I need to talk about it to somebody!! It was emotional, it was funny. The banter between Myron and Win is still there, still sharp as ever.

Thank you so much Harlan for bringing us another adventure with these characters. It made my heart sing. One of my most anticipated books for 2024 and it was spectacular.

And a massive thank you to Grand. Central Publishing for giving me early access to read one of my favourite authors of all times newest creation. You made me so happy.

Publishing on May 14th, this is a must read for fans of the series and anyone who loves a good story. This can be read as a stand-alone lone as you are given plenty of background as you go. But seriously, you will want to read all the other books too.

I love Harlan Coben and the return of Myron, Win and this whole cast of characters reminded me why. A great mystery, with Harlan’s trade mark whit- I finished it in one sitting!

How I've missed Myron and Win, not to mention the rest of the family- big Cindy and Esperanza. Myron and Win are investigating several murders believed to have been committed by their dead friend, Greg. Lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing. Highly recommended for any and all fans of the series.

I was given this by NetGalley for an honest review-
Can it be that Greg, who Myron spoke about at his funeral is alive??? The FBI think so when they pop into Myron’s office and ask —-where is Greg? Greg is considered the main suspect in a double murder! Myron and Win set out to search for Greg and answers and then things begin to get very scary!

Harlan Coben is back with another Myron Bolitar book - his first in nearly a decade! I am a diehard Myron/Harlan fan and I had eagerly been awaiting a new book in this series. With so many easter eggs for diehard fans, this book was Harlan at his best - being reunited with old favorites like Esperanza and Win and good ol' Al and Ellen Bolitar - what more could I ask for?

Not to mention, the underlying mystery was fantastic and I tore through the pages waiting to see how it would play out.

I only hope it won't be as long before there is another Myron book in my life.

Thank you to Grand Central for an advanced copy. All opinions are my own.
