Adam Colclough lives and works in the West Midlands, he writes regularly for a number of websites, one day he will get round to writing a book for someone else to review.
The discovery of DNA left by former NBA star Greg Downing at the scene of a double murder presents a problem for his former rival and agent Myron Bolitar. Greg has been dead for three years. Something Myron knows only too well since he delivered his eulogy. Now powerful figures on both sides of the law are looking to him to provide an answer to the question of how a dead man can commit murder.
When it comes to smart and sophisticated thrillers, nobody does is like Harlan Coben. After more than thirty novels his energy and inventiveness show no sign of flagging.
In Think Twice he delivers a plot that keeps the tension high and his readers guessing to the end. The final action scene set in Central Park is worthy of Hitchcock on a day when he brought his A game to the court. Throughout Coben manages the frequent switches from the comfort of high society to the sort of shadows where the low life lurks neatly and believably.
Myron Bolitar is the ideal series character to go down the mean street of the world Coben has created. Mean enough in himself to take down a bad guy with a one-liner or a karate chop depending on the circumstances. Yet sufficiently human not to be immune to the blows life lands below his belt.
Coben is a master of his craft, playing with the strings of his readers’ expectations and twitching them into the most surprising directions. However often he tricks us, we keep coming back for more.
