Missing You

Product Information

The plot sprints along, and I gobbled up half the book in one sitting. Three-fourths of the way through I texted my Coben-reading buddy and asked WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?? But I should have known that everything comes together in the end. Wowser. Myron Bolitar, the main character in the series, is a former basketball player turned sports agent. But the deal starts to deteriorate when Christian receives a phone call from his former girlfriend-a woman thought by everyone, including the police, to be dead.

On seeing that, you do what any parent in that position would do: you follow her into a dark and dangerous world you never knew existed. is a riveting, albeit perplexing, nightmare that finds hapless New Jersey wife and mother Grace Lawson Continue reading » As the book progresses, Kat divides her attention between the two great mysteries of her life, trying to resolve at least one, if not both of them. It's going to be a very dangerous ride, and, as is usually the case in a Harlan Coben novel, the reader will be virtually whipsawed by all of the violent twists and turns that the novel takes. Missing You is the latest thriller by Harlen Coben. He really cranks these things out. I feel as I just read one a year or two ago. Anyway, I'm cool with that. Coben seems to the master at presenting readers with the idea that we never quite know who stole our hearts. Whether it be an old flame, a wife of 20 years, or even a family member, he suggests that someone is always hiding something. This novel is no different. Only this time the connections are more broad and cautionary to all you Match.com people out there.

When Valerie is murdered in cold blood and her body dumped right outside the stadium at the U.S. Open, Myron Bolitar, a renowned sports agent, steps in to investigate the killing; one that will unearth a gut-wrenching connection between two players and a six-year-old murder at an affluent mainline club. Coben δεν παραλείπει, σε αρκετά σημεία, να τονίζει ότι 'η Νέα Υόρκη είναι η πόλη, όπου όλα μπορείς να τα δεις και να τα συναντήσεις'. Αυτή η άποψη του συγγραφέα παρατηρείται, κυρίως, στο 1ο μέρος, όπου φανερώνει και τη διάθεσή του να αποδομήσει την άνετη, ηθική, έννομη και οργανωμένη ζωή που προσφέρει η μεγαλούπολη, την οποία περιγράφει, ίσως, με αρκετή υπερβολή. Seventeen years later, Broome, a detective, is yet to find closure in a cold case that involved the disappearance of a local husband and father. Other than the abrupt ending after dumping some major information on me, the only other complaint I had was that now I have the infernal song in my head!! Born in 1962 in Newark, New Jersey, Coben went to Livingston High School before studying political science at Amherst College where he was a member of Psi Upsilon fraternity-alongside Dan Brown who would similarly go on to become a household name in the writing world.Coben επιθυμεί να ενημερώσει και να αφυπνίσει σχετικά με τους κινδύνους που ελλοχεύουν στους διαδικτυακούς ιστότοπους γνωριμιών, και καταφέρνει να πλάσει ένα μεταμοντέρνο αστυνομικό μυθιστόρημα 'νεονουάρ' με αρκετά έντονα στοιχεία ψυχολογικού θρίλερ και θρίλερ τρόμου. Two and a half stars. Clearly not Coben's best. In fact--the book was not a cohesive whole. I've read pretty much everything Coben's written, and liked most of it, but this outing was an incoherent pastiche. Ten years ago, kidnappers, who had abducted two boys from well-to-do families, demanded ransom before suddenly going silent. For an entire decade, their families were left with nothing save for agonizing memories, with no trace of the boys ever surfacing.

Forget about solving all these crimes; the signal triumph here is (spoiler) the heroine’s survival. He is sharp and perceptive just like his uncle, and will go to great lengths to help those he cares about. No one has seen Natalie in years, and mutual friends of the couple either can’t be traced or just don’t remember Jake. Something doesn't seem quite right, and so Kat begins to investigate and stumbles onto an Internet dating scam where innocent victims are going of on dates with people they met online and are never heard from again. And--horror of horrors!--Kat's old boyfriend seems to be right in the middle of the scam. He has sold over 70 million printed copies worldwide, with his books being published in 43 languages around the globe.Signs that Myron was a gifted basketball player were evident as early as the 6th grade, and he went on to be drafted by the Boston Celtics in the first round, until he shattered his knee during a preseason game against Washington Bullets—ending his career. My favorite part of Missing You is the inspiration for it’s title – the #1 1984 hit song “Missing You” by John Waite. Being a fan of all things ’80s, this brought a smile to my face and made me want to listen to John Waite, which, by the way, I’m doing right now as I write this review. Book seven in Coben's wonderfully rich series (after 1999's The Final Detail), which features sports agent Myron Bolitar, former basketball player and totally believable human being, is all about Continue reading » Greg and Myron have a history together, as they had a fierce rivalry throughout their youth and college days, although Myron never made it to pro-ball after a freak knee injury.
