Myron Bolitar and his anti-here sidekick Win Lockwood are back in Think Twice. This time around, the guys learn from the FBI that Myron’s former client and nemesis, Greg Downing, is alive. This is a big surprise because Myron spoke at Greg’s funeral many years ago. Not only is Greg not dead, his DNA has been found at the scene of a crime, and he is now wanted murder.

In typical Myron and Win fashion, they use approaches from the righteous to the wrong side of the law to try and track Greg down, and to figure out what exactly is going on. Esperanza is back as well, and although she no longer works at MB Reps, she is still a big part of the story and works with Myron and Win to get to the bottom of things with or without the help of law enforcement, or anyone else that knows something about what exactly has transpired. 

I enjoyed that I had no idea where things were heading for the first three quarters of the book, and even when I thought I had it figured out, it turned out I was wrong, and I did not see the ending of this one coming. It has been quite awhile since I read a Myron Bolitar story (I have read all of them up to this point, but the most recent before Think Twice was published in 2016), and there were definitely some people and situations mentioned that I no longer remembered, which was a little disappointing because I felt like it kept me from fully connecting with the story. With that being said, this is one of my favorite Harlan Coben’s storylines to date, and I hope we see more of Myron and company in the near future.

Thank you to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
