Liked it, quick read. I may have enjoyed it more if I had some more background from the previous books in this series.

This was not my favorite in the series. I still loved the banter and friendship between Myron, Win, and the others. However, I don't love the way Big Cyndi is always described - it feels overdone. I also feel like this book took a looong time to get anywhere or reveal anything.

I enjoy spending time with Myron and his cohort, but this was not one of the stronger stories. The best part was the introduction of Mickey Bolitar, Myron's teen nephew - I look forward to reading his book.

Good as usual for Coben but not quite the bang at the end that I have come to expect from him. Stll Coben remains at the top for favorites.

Another enjoyable read by one of my favorite authors, yet this one left me wondering if we've seen the end of Myron & Win, Esperanza & Big Cyndi.
I attended "Thomas Jefferson Middle School" and never gave a thought to the cemetery across the street, so was amused by Myron's thoughts on the location of the school (the building once housed an elementary school and a junior high school).

I loved this book so much! So much Win!
However, if this is the final book in the Myron Bolitar series I'm going to be crushed!

Always happy when the latest Harlan Coben book comes out. Even happier when the book is a return to Myron and Win. Live Wire does what Coben does best - it entertains, explores Myron's humanity and Win's supposed lack of it. Fans of the series will enjoy another visit with Myron and his friends and family.

Ahh the last Myron Bolitar. This one was quite good - one of the better ones.

If you like all the other Myron Bolitar book then this will reach all your expectations. The normal characters are evident including the amazing Esperanza and the slightly disturbing Win. This book also introduces some new characters none more strange than a long lost brother called Brad.
Although this book has the action and the pace of the others which I have loved I just couldn’t get round the sudden appearance of a brother for Myron. Having read and loved all the other Bolitar stories there has previously been no mention of a brother. This addition to the story is just too fantastic for you to fully enjoy this story. The author attempts to describe where this brother comes from but it is just not totally believable.
A cynic would say that the brother needed to be introduced so that a nephew could be introduced. I believe there is a whole series of books that have been developed around the nephew. Overall this is a good story which has aspects that are not true and were clearly introduced for the authors own gain.

There are aspects of this that I love, and I think the actual mystery set up is really strong - reclusive rockstars, junkie tennis stars and missing persons? count me a keen bean... But the real drawback of this book is that it dedicates too much energy to being a set up for the Mickey Bolitar series. Or at least it feels that way to me. Natch I still love it cause i'm harlan coben's #1 fan and his books literally put my lil heiny on the edge of my seat always but I have to give it a 3 so my 5 star coben reads mean more i hope u understand harly baby it's no personal xxx
