This is #10 in the series of books by Coben featuring his crime-solving talent agent, Myron Bolitar, and his skull-cracking aristocrat buddy, Windsor “Win” Horne Lockwood III. I have read seven books by Coben now – three of the Bolitar series – and this is not one of his better ones.
The problem is that the plot is about relationships and the relationships are so strained and twisted that they defy belief. I really wanted to like this book but couldn’t. There are no heroes in this one and a couple of the deaths seem to lack motive. There is also an accidental death which would have prompted an immediate police response, but it was “covered up.” Really? How? That wasn’t mentioned.
4 out of 10.
