This was such a fun and thrilling ride. I absolutely adore Harlan Coben, and this did not disappoint.

It had been quite a while since I had read a book in this series, but that was not a problem at all and I was immediately immersed in the characters.

This is absolutely an edge of your seat thriller, where no matter how hard I tried, I could not figure out what was going on and what the resolution was going to be. Up until the every end I was guessing, and guessing incorrectly in the way that I love with a thriller.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a complimentary copy of this book. I leave this review voluntarily and all opinions are my own.

Thank you to the author and NetGalley for allowing me to read an ARC of this book. Overall I really liked this book and the characters. I liked the plot and I liked how the story ended. I did feel like it took a long time to get through and this was a different kind of thriller read for me because of the focus on basketball in the story. Overall I would give the story a 3 out of 5.

Think Twice by Harlan Coben

Coben has aged Win and Myron. They are still irascible and Win is still as deadly but they are thinking about what they are doing rather than reacting.
People are being killed but the killers are brought before dame Justice with unusual rapidity. That is a good thing, right?
There is a son in the picture that shows I’ve missed a few books.
There is the normal wealth of action and deceit with lying, cheating and a dose of Big Cyndi.
Coben had a bit more emotional byplay than normal and wrote it very well.
I heartily enjoyed the book.

This is my 3rd Harlan Coben book ! I am hooked ! His thrillers keep me on the edge of my seat staying up way too late to finish it! There were definite twists that I wasn’t expecting and his character development is superb! Highly recommend

Great book. Action packed from the first page. Harlan Coben has a way of pulling the reader in with great banter and compelling characters.

Was so excited when I saw that Cobden had written another book featuring Bolitar and the so interesting, Win. They are such an unusual pairing, but it works. Who wouldn’t want to have a friend like Win? Someone who always has your back, that is intuitive, wealthy beyond measure, with all the newest gizmos in his possession , and knack for finding out information. Plus, he knows many,many people in all different walks of life.

Myron Bolitar, on the other hand has a self deprecating, ironic sense of humor and a trait that never lets him give up. He does get into quite a few scrapes, but of course, Win often comes to his rescue.

This is quite a twisty tale and a dangerous one. I didn’t have a clue, was surprised by the who, in this who done it. Books end had me holding my breath, was very intense.

This is a really strong main character who is well-developed. I haven't read other titles with this character, but he reads well-developed. This was a good story and mystery and I breezed through this story to get to the resolution

Myron is questioned by the FBI about one of his former clients, who despite being declared dead, is presumed to be a serial killer. Myron and friend Win now investigate if their client is alive and involved and how the murders are tied together. Overall, a thriller with many twists that keeps you reading to find out. Although this is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone.

It's been a while since I've read Harlan Coben. I was not familiar with his character, Myron Bolitar, and found the book slow to get going. Half-way through the book it finally picked up and then I was racing to the ending. I liked the premise. It was unusual but it made sense. I would try another Myron Bolitar book again.

Harlen Coben is back with a Myron Bolitar mystery suspense that was fun from page 1. I didn't think I'd finish Think Twice in less than a month when I began reading it but I shouldn't have expected anything less with a Coben read. He always sucks you in from the beginning and maintains full speed ahead, similar to driving the ball to the hoop. This is why I love his novels so much.

Think Twice follows the story of Myron's former nemesis being accused of murder. The catch is that, the man accused of murder is dead. He's been dead for 5 years. Before long, Myron, with help from his own personal Batman, Win, search for the truth.

As Myron and Win follow the breadcrumbs left from this conundrum, they happen upon multiple close calls, unsavory characters, and a serial killer that finds pleasure in pinning his murders on other people. Such a dangerous combination.

For those who aren't familiar with all of Myron's history, Coben adds nuggets of info so it's not hard to catch up. I haven't read all the Bolitar novels in succession but have read enough that I didn't feel lost at all. Thank you, Coben!

Where this novel excels in pacing it lacks in true character depth. Many of the main characters have been introduced to us in past novels so this is understandable and forgivable. I didn't have a huge issue with it, but those who may be picking this up for the first time might feel rushed and feel no real connection to many of the characters. Dare I say there are a few bad guys thrown in that feel like straight up caricatures.

In short, Harlan Coben has been and will always be one of my favorite authors. His books are fast paced, full steam ahead suspense mysteries that keeps his fans coming for more. Please don't think think twice about grabbing this book for your next airport or beach read.

Harlan as been one of my faves for years and again he did NOT disappoint!! Enthralled and captivated from the first page. I couldn’t figure it out and I love that about his writing! Always the twists and turns your not expecting! Highly recommend!

Myron and Win at it again! Love Harlan Cobens stories. They are addicting and easy to read. Thank you Netgalley for the ARC.

What can be said about Harlan Coben that hasn't been said already? This is one of the most brilliant minds working in the business. His suspense is top-tier and this book is a winning ticket. The twelfth installment of the Myron Bolitar series, and undoubtedly the most explosive one yet! The tension never subsides and the pages practically turn themselves.

It's no secret that I love Harlan Coben's books. I've been reading some of his series for years and years. The FBI is looking for one of Myron's old foes on and off the basketball court, who was also one of his clients in the past. One problem: this person hasn't been seen in years! Can the two of them find this man before the FBI does, whether he's living or dead? Or have Myron and Win finally found someone they can get along with? It's been so long since I last read a Myron book, but was easy enough to remember the characters.

Lots of thanks to Grand Central Publishing and NetGalley

The first Myron novel since 2016. A surprise advanced copy from Netgalley the week before it released. Is this heaven? Yes it is. More Myron! Myron all the time. If you have not read the Myron books, start at the very beginning. A very good place to start. I love this chosen family of people.

This is my first Harlan Cobin book, and it was so good! I had watched one of his Netflix shows, so when this book popped up, I figured it was time to dive into the world of Harlan Cobin, and I’m glad I did! This book kept me on my toes, closing my eyes, which I had to open to figure out what happened next, and had so many twists and turns! It was a really fun read that thriller fans will enjoy!

Thank you to Grand Central Publishing and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book!

Harlan Coben is one of my favorite authors — one of the only male authors I enjoy reading. This book is in a series, one I haven’t read all of them, but I didn’t feel lost or confused; it read well as a standalone. The main characters were funny; I laughed out loud so many times, but then was turning the pages so fast to see what happened next.

You can always depend on Harlan Coben when looking for a sophisticated and surprising plot.

The FBI pays an unexpected visit to Myron Bolitar’s Sports Agency office looking for information about a past client. One catch— Myron believes him to be dead. And we’re off and running on another Bolitar adventure.

Financial shenanigans that partner Win apparently was aware of, murder implicating Myron and his son, are only two of the many complex story lines in this truly enjoyable newest from Coben’s Bolitar series.

Thank you Net Galley for the opportunity to read an advance copy.

Fantastic addition to the series.

If you haven't read this series because you think--why would I want to read a series about a sports agent? I don't even like sports. Think again, because this series is very entertaining and the books are great mysteries with extremely likable characters. I think that this installment in particular, although completely understandable and a great read, would not have the impact without the lead in from previous books and being invested in the characters and their connections.

There are really dramatic things that happen, as well as some levity and humor (especially with Myron's parents and their edibles) that make this book a fast paced, engaging read. I listened to this as an audiobook and the narrator Steven Weber (who narrates all of Coben's books) does a phenomenal job. I prefer to listen to these books because he does such an amazing job giving each character a distinct personality.

Harlan Coben is at his finest with this novel, with so much twisty action you will be shocked and surprised more than once.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.
Another great book by Coben. I love this author and everything he writes! This is another that needs to be made into a series.
