A man presumed dead is suddenly wanted for murder in this thriller of secrets, lies, and dangerous conspiracies that threaten to cover up the truth.
Three years ago, sports agent Myron Bolitar gave a eulogy at the funeral of his client, renowned basketball coach Greg Downing. Myron and Greg had history: initially as deeply personal rivals, and later as unexpected business associates. Myron made peace and moved on – until now, when two federal agents walked into his office, demanding to know where Greg Downing is.
According to the agents, Greg is still alive—and has been placed at the scene of a double homicide, making him their main suspect. Shocked, Myron needs answers.
Myron and Win, longtime friends and colleagues, set out to find the truth, but the more they discover about Greg, the more dangerous their world becomes. Secrets, lies, and a murderous conspiracy that stretches back into the past churn at the heart of Harlan Coben’s blistering new novel.
Dollycas’s Thoughts
Famed basketball coach Greg Downing died three years ago. His sports agent Myron Bolitar gave his eulogy. Years earlier they were rivals on the basketball court, Greg also stole Myron’s first love. Surprisingly they later became business associates. Myron has gotten on with his life and is in a good place. So why are there now two FBI agents in his office insisting Myron tell them where Greg Downing is?
The agents claim Greg is still alive and is their main suspect in a double homicide. Myron can’t believe it. Could it be true? He decides to team up with his friend Win and do some investigating of their own. Soon they are following leads across the country but each step puts their lives in more danger. Are they chasing a serial killer? Could they be the next targets?
I have been a fan of this series from the start so I was thrilled to see all the players back together. Myron and Win are joined by Esperanza, Big Cindy, Therese, Ellen, and Myron’s parents. Hester Crimstein even makes a cameo appearance. With Greg Downing as the subject of the story, it brings his wife Emily and her son Jeremy into the story. Mr. Coben’s characters have so much depth that are memorable no matter how long we must wait for each new book in the series. The interactions between Myron and Win are epic. Win with his sharp retorts always brings a little humor especially in the most stressful predicaments.
In Think Twice Mr. Coben sends his characters on another wild adventure and I was thrilled to go along for the ride. I enjoy that the characters have aged a bit just like the rest of us. It changes the way they attack or react to certain situations but they are resourceful, still have the drive, and sometimes forget they aren’t as young as they used to be.
The story is action-packed and unfolds at breakneck speed just as I expected. The further I got into the story the speed of the pages turning increased and I was totally unable to put the book down. With twist after twist the tension continued to rise. I was on the edge of my seat more than once. Like everything Mr. Coben writes his words create vivid pictures in my mind, so the last several chapters had me reeling.
Think Twice is a riveting, suspenseful, compelling thriller that is responsible for my latest book hangover. I stayed up late and read the whole thing in one sitting and then I couldn’t get it out of my head when I tried to go to sleep. Strong characters and a fabulous plot that was fantastically executed make this book worthy of more than 5 stars. It like other books by this author receives my Paradise Rating and it will be on my Best Reads List for 2024.
While this book can be read as a stand-alone, I recommend reading other books in the series first for maximum enjoyment.
