Before coming to this novel, I had some awareness of Harlan Coben and his renown as a best-selling writer of mystery novels/thrillers. But I had no interest in reading his novels because, generally, I'm not interested in reading contemporary mysteries/thrillers. And yet - from hearing a radio interview he gave the BBC a few weeks ago, my curiosity was piqued. So, I checked out a copy of his latest novel - THINK TWICE - from the local library and read it.
This novel is a slow ride with many twists and turns. Along with chapters often ending in cliffhangers, which kept me engaged with the story, keen to find out 'whodunit.' What I found most fascinating and compelling about the novel was including a serial murderer who, through the deft use of DNA, implicates innocent people for said murderer's crimes. It was also cool to get to know Myron Bolitar, an ex-NBA player, sports agent, and lawyer extraordinaire - along with Win, his 'shadow', fellow lawyer, and best friend. A man of many talents.
