A review by jessmanners
Fade Away by Harlan Coben
3.0
I liked this one better than the last, I think. Lots of moving parts, but in the end (like all superhero movies, or, let’s be honest, Agatha Christie novels that aren’t Tommy and tuppence-based), it ended up being smaller and more personal. The pseudo-second chance + revelations about the past work pretty well—poor Myron! And it doesn’t feel quite as much like it’s re-hitting the same beats (although it certainly hits some of them!).
I also liked that he shifted away from myron’s perspective sometimes—a bold choice! But it confirms one of the nice things about this series: he isn’t the hard boiled detective who will inevitably end up sad and alone…he has his people, and if we’re being allowed access to them when he isn’t around, I assume that means they’re here to stay.
