Having only recently discovered Harlan Coben (Late 2022), I'm continuing to really enjoy the books I've read by him, and this is no exception.
I didn't realise just how long ago the book was published when first reading it, so seeing mentions of playing a tape or a car phone gave me a good chuckle, and proved that some books are timeless since it didn't fully pull me from the book.
An enjoyable read, with a twist I didn't see coming.. mostly. From the hotel onwards I definitely had some ideas, but not to the extent of what actually happened.
Overall, I definitely enjoyed the book, and plan to read the Myron Bolitar series from start to finish, since this is now the second I've read from this particular series.
