Diving back into a long-running series by a great author is as comforting as watching another season of a long-running TV show. Harlan Coben’s “Think Twice” is no exception. This book is the twelfth and latest in the Myron Bolitar series. It has been a long, long eight years since book eleven was published, and I have missed Myron and his normal cast of companions: Win, Esperanza and Big Cyndi.
That being said, Coben has delicately recapped the histories of the main characters without being boring. The book is written in such a way that it would be entertaining, and not confusing, to readers approaching this novel as a stand-alone.
In the midst of reentering the world of professional representation after a hiatus, Myron becomes involved in a murder investigation that involves his one-time rival/client, Greg Downing, who is believed to have died three years ago. The story, as usual, has many twists and turns along the way, providing a very pleasurable read.
The Myron Bolitar series represents approximately one-third of Coben’s body of work. The remaining books are primarily stand-alones, none of which disappoint.
