I was very excited to hear that my favorite author was branching out to YA mystery novels. That meant two books in 1 year! Yay! :)
I have had this book for a while now, but have been so busy with work that I haven't been reading as much as I would like. However, I joined a Teachers As Readers book club at my school this year. When they asked for book suggestions I quickly suggested this title. I am always eager to encourage my friends, my family & anyone who will listen to read Harlan Coben's novels. I was thrilled when it was selected for our first book.
I have read almost all of Mr. Coben's novels (I need to get my hands on Seconds Away ASAP; in the meantime I'm going to start Stay Close this afternoon & hopefully finish Miracle Cure over the holiday, too). There are some I love, some I really like, and some that were disappointing. Not because of the quality or style of writing, but because of the plot; how the characters wound up at the end. Anyway, I really liked "Live Wire," when we find out about Myron's brother and meet Mickey. As I said, I was excited to find out Mickey would have his own adventures.
I was not disappointed by this book. It featured all of Mr. Coben's signatures: dry wit, action, suspense and twists. While this is "written for" young adults, it is certainly not solely for teenagers. It's a great read. While I was correct about some suspicions, others were way off; something I love about great mysteries.
