I found Harlan Coben just last year and have read every single book he has on the market. I love his writing and the way he builds his characters. It is an absolute pleasure to read his books in order and see their progression.
originally I thought the sports aspect would be a turn-off for me, but it has so little to do with the story that it didn't bother me at all.
If you're looking for a quick, good, fun read, this is the book for you.

Myron Bolitar, sports agent, solves another mystery. This one involves the kidnapping of the son of clients-woman golfer Linda Coldren. Fast paced, easy read.

One of his best. Very good, I didn't figure it out until the very end.

This is the second Myron Bolitar book I've read. I enjoyed it but it was a little heavy on the sports (golf in this one). A professional golf family (both mother and father are pros) and the sixteen year old son is also an excellent golfer. The son gets kidnapped at the start of the US Open and Myron is hired to find him. Of course, Myron gets in over his head and all hell breaks loose.
Harlan Coben has a great use of cliches which are laugh out loud funny. Myron is comically sarcastic and Win has serious pyschopatic undertones. There are several twists and surprises. A great mystery that you think you have figured out and then whammo another twist. Keeps you guessing right up to the last page.
They even mention my old high school towards the end. How cool is that?

Average Myron Bolitar tale set at the US Open. Good dialogue, fine story, plenty of fun at golfers' expense.
3 stars out of 5

This is #4 of the Myron Bolitar series. Myron is in Pennsylvania for the US Open Golf Tournament.
Golf + revenge + sex + murder = another thrilling story. I loved the book.

If you like wisecracking, eccentric,detectives with a sports background, you'll love Myron Bolitar.
Another winner by Harlen Coben

Easy reading, fun recommend
Myron looks for the missing son of a golf superstar, and in the process uncovers skeleton's in the client's and in Win's closet. Trademark twists and turns (maybe a little to twisty) with some nice clarification of the elusive Win's background.

love this author, love this series!
Another great Myron Bolitar mystery from Coben. Being a sports fan, the sports themes - first football, then tennis and basketball, now golf - really make the Bolitar books stand out for me. Coben's style is wickedly satyrical and just plain fun to read. My biggest concern is that Coben will run out of sports for Myron to get involved in. But heck, I'd read about a mystery at a ping-pong tournament if Coben wrote it.

Another good book by Harlan Coben. His books keep your interest.
The fourth book in the series about Myron Bolitar. This time, the sport is golf. Very entertaining and Myron and Win are always so funny.
Great! Very entertaining!

GOOD BOOK
I hate letting go of my beloved early Harlan Coben's but if someone out there will enjoy them just as much....Myron Bolitar is quite a character.
