Not my favorite Myron Bolitar but still an enjoyable read. Or listen, in this case!

This is the first time I have listened to this series on audio. Thought the plot seemed a bit to out there to read. Steven Weber did a great job with Myron, but Win was completely insufferable to listen to (I usually enjoy the back and forth between Myron and Win but not so much in this book) and his voice for Esparanza was just plain annoying.

Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.
My first by Harlan Coben. So, it was like meeting Myron Bolitar for the first time. I asked myself, how well did it go? And, I answered myself, pretty much awesome. Hahaha!
Long Lost is a story about a woman Terese who lost her only child, Miriam, in a car accident ten years ago. She has almost swallowed the fact that she is gonna be this way only until one day her ex husband calls her and says that he wants to her something that may change her life and guess what, it indeed does. Not only of hers, but also of the poor man, she was involved physically with, Myron Bolitar. Tadda!
I went quite good through whole story. I was kept on guessing what might the case be. I had my own speculations too. I thought something must be wrong with Terese. But, bam!, it wasn't even the case. The story has its root grounded at terrorism. I would not think that deep, anyhow. And, there was this term Mossad. I was like, woah! This must be something out of my feeble brain. And it was.
The whole story kept on circulating around searching for Terese's daughter. It was full of death. *Sigh* Berleand died too. I liked him. Gosh! That was saddening.
I liked Win the most. And I hope to see him in other parts too. As, Mee to haven't done with Win. ;)
After this one I am not gonna forget,
Man Plans, GOD, laughs.

Harlan Coben: Von meinem Blut
Gute Durchschnittsware. Etwas verworrener Plot, aber ein ganz typischer Coben. Und Myron Bolitar ist mit dabei!

I've read and enjoyed many of Coben's books, but I just couldn't get into this one. The story seemed scattered (or perhaps it was my brain). But, everything seemed convoluted. The wit and humor was good, but it just didn't make sense. One moment Bolitar is in a Paris jail (for no apparent reason), the next moment he's in a shootout at a local cafe. Therese goes missing, but suddenly Bolitar finds himself on a jet plane to London with her. The characters all seemed shallow (Bolitar and his island fling with Therese, Win and his Pan Am stewardess Mee). I simply lost interest. But, I haven't given up on Coben yet. Look forward to reading more of his books.

I'm on a Harlan Coben reread in prep for Win, and I thought I'd read the last few books of the MBU (Myron Bolitar universe). I usually wouldn't even consider rereading a thriller cause if you know the twists then what's the point? But I've found that I read these all so long ago when I literally binged all the available ones, that I remember nearly nothing! Ergo I have been proper enjoying them all over again like it's the first time lucky me. I think I may just reread all of them tbh im vibing with it i love Myron and Win (who is espesh good in this one).

This is only the second book by Coben that I've read and both have been great mystery/thrillers. Fantastic characters, lots of action, ripped-from-the-headlines situations and an unexpected twist! Loved it!
