Think Twice (Myron Bolitar, 12) by Harlan Coben

I always enjoy a Myron Bolitar book, and this did not disappoint. The novel opens with murder, and it is clear that the murderer is framing an innocent person. But, when the FBI gets involved and comes to Myron, it is with shocking news. His former friend and client, Greg Downing, is a suspect, but there is a problem-he is supposedly dead. As Myron and Win investigate, Myron once again has to confront his former lover and mother of his son (and widow of Greg) to get answers.
A shocking and explosive ending to this book, completely surprised by what happened!… (more)

The Woods: A Suspense Thriller by Harlan Coben

This is one of those times I'm glad LT has half stars. I generally like Harlan Coben (his new one is a corker) but this one is pretty bland. Too convoluted and too unlikely. It's fine if you don't have something else or if you plan to leave it at the AirBNB when you leave. I wouldn't go out of my way to find it otherwise.

The Stranger by Harlan Coben

I have read a couple other Coben books and this suffers from the same malady as others. The plot ends up being over convoluted. Too many threads and people involved. It strains credulity. I did like the story and the characters though someone I did not expect ends up dead.
Ok for what it is and I do have one more Coben on my tbh pile I can compare.
