Reviews
Coben, as ever, takes us on a gritty pungent journey into some of the less savoury byways of human behaviour; a journey shot through with sardonic humour and trenchant observation
Coben produces his usual mix of hard-boiled crime and wise-guy humour. There's something irrepressible about Bolitar . . . With Bolitar it's the mayhem rather than the murder that keeps the pages turning
An outstanding success . . . This is a grand, rollicking read full of refreshing, new-style writing, snappy one-liners and clever repartee . . . In terms of plot, Coben cannot be faulted. You might fail to spot whodunit and, when all is revealed, feel genuine surprise and delight. If you read only one American novel this year make sure that it is this one
