Summary: Bolitar tale proves Coben is one of the best
Review: He was a baseball legend. Now he begs for one more chance at the big leagues. The Yankees sign Clu Haid to a contract on the stipulation that he is clean. However, after testing positive for heroin, the great pitcher swears he is not a user. Before he could prove his claim, someone murders Clu. All the evidence points towards Esperanza Diaz as being the prime suspect. After his partner is arrested for the crime, sports agent Marty Bolitar begins his own investigation. However, to his chagrin, the information he gathers proves that the second most likely suspect after Esperanza turns out to be Marty himself. With the help of his buddy, Win Lockwood, Marty continues to make inquires that take him into some of the darkest places in town. THE FINAL DETAIL demonstrates why Harlan Coben is an Edgar award winning novelist. The story line is filled with a dazzling who-done-it which twists and turns until reaching a satisfying conclusion. Marty and his cohorts remain outstanding characters who can make a reader laugh and cry in the same paragraph. Mr. Coben pitches perfect novel with this big league tale. Harriet Klausner

Summary: The Final Detail: A Myron Bolitar Novel
Review: Great and as much fun as all the others. Can't wait for the next one. Being from Michigan, the subject of hockey does comes to mind as a possible future subject. What is also needed is all Myron books to be put on unabridged audio tapes. Yes I've read them all, but I'd listen to them all in a minute. And maybe a movie - What about Bruce Campbell for Myron? Please Mr. Coben, more Myron books ASAP!

Summary: Another 'Must Read' in an outstanding series!
Review: Harlan Coben did it again! This is a great book in a great series. Myron returns from an extended disappearance to find Esperanza in big trouble. With the help of Big Cindy and Win, Myron is determined to help, even though Esperanza and her attorney are just as determined that he will not even try to help. The story continues with more twists, turns, humorous, and serious situations. I highly recommend reading all of the books in this series. The writing is excellent, the story lines absorbing, and the best is the relationships among the characters. Coben writes as if the characters could jump out of the book and carry on a conversation with you.

Summary: Funny, touching, fast paced read. I love Myron Bolitar!!
Review: Harlan Coben does it again with his 6th installment of the Myron Bolitar series. His hero is smart, funny and tender. The mystery is good, but I read the books for the interpersonal relationships Myron has with his friends and family and the self soul searching he does so well. The dialogue is sharp and snappy. The one liners and give and take conversations with his best friend Win are terrific. Even Big Cindi plays a bigger part this time around. It's the details in Harlan's books that make them special. The references to the old Batman series, 60's and 70's sitcoms, and of course Myron's love of Yoo-Hoo make the characters real people. If you haven't experienced Myron, Win, Esperanza and Big Cindi, you are missing out on a great read. Myron reminds me of Spenser, the Boston private detective series by Robert Parker, and Archie Goodwin from the Nero Wolfe mysteries by Rex Stout. If you enjoy either of these you'll want to read Coben's Myron Bolitar series.

Summary: Harlan Coben contains to entertain.
Review: Harlan Coben has done it again. I keep expecting the series to get old and predictable but this last edition maintains the high standards that he has set in his other books. It is just a very enjoyable read. What more can you ask except that another one show up in a year if not sooner.

Summary: Best Mystery Writer Around...Case Closed
Review: 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.
