The Final Detail [Paperback] [Apr 21, 2011] Harlan Coben

I love the Myron Bolitar series. If you love a good story that is quick, with lovable and funny characters, this series is for you. I feel for Bolitar, love his office staff/co-owners, hate his ex-girlfriends and would love to follow Win around everyday. This cast of characters will make you laugh and feel for them. The writing by Coben is witty and wonderful. His dialogue is like no other!

Like a Knight on a quest, Myron matures during this adventure called, "The Final Detail". While on a quest, Knights are physically strong, well trained, loyal, courageous, moral, courteous, and chivalrous. Knights are willing to voyage far to risk their lives for others, in order to defend those weaker than them. They are committed to righting wrongs and destroying evil. They face insurmountable problems, admit defeat or confess weakness, and call for help when needed. During a Knight's quest, he learns that he must participate in his society and that his significance rest in his ties to others. Finally, when his quest is completed he is granted enlightenment. Yep, sounds like Myron Bolitar to me, only Myron is a lot funnier than any Knight that I've ever read about in this 6th book of the series, and yes, my favorite. I was so hoping that Harlan Coben would either: 1 - Somehow get rid of the Big Cyndi character, or 2 - Give Big Cyndi a brain, or at least some human characteristics. I was glad to read that she got exactly what her character deserved. As always, I love Win; he is and always has been perfect; but still, his character grows more and more likable with every installment of this series. Same goes for Esperanza.

I recently discoverd Harlan Coben and have ordered all of his books - I'm in love! His books quickly catch the imagination, have great characters, twisted plots and keep you guessing until the very surprising end.

Harlan Coben is the most gifted mystery writer to enter the literary world in quite some time. In this sixth book of the Myron Bolitar series, Coben is, again, nothing less than sensational.Bolitar, owner of MB SportsReps, has taken a vacation in the Carribbean, without telling anyone. While relaxing on the tropical beach for three weeks, his company goes to pieces, and his partner, Esperanza, is arrested for the murder of Myron's first ever client, major league relief pitcher, Clu Haid.Myron is rushed back into the limelight, as a potential suspect as well as an accessory. He is forced to scramble to keep his agency afloat, clear his best friend's name, and deal with his competition, which is run by the mafia. To make matters worse, Esperanza wants him to back off, something that Myron just can't do. All of the loveable characters are back, and fans of Big Cindi will really get to know her a lot better in this novel. A few new interesting characters are introduced as Myron travels through New York's sexual underground for answers.There are so many wicked plot twists, the book becomes a wild page-turner instantly. Coben's gifted writing talents shine through remarkably, and the character dialogue is perfectly snappy. The storyline is impressively complete and well-defined. This is simply another super effort by Coben, and one entertaining read.
