PROMISE ME

As the school year winds down, Myron Bolitar is determined to help keep his friends’ children safe from the dangers of drinking and driving. So he makes two neighborhood girls promise him that if they are ever in a bind but are afraid to call their parents, they must call him. Several nights later, the call comes at two a.m. The next day, a girl is missing and Myron is the last person who saw her.

With no one to trust, and mired in a deepening quicksand of deception and deadly secrets, Marc clings to one unwavering vow: bring home his daughter, at any cost.

Reviews

[Brianna Peardon Holland]

No Second Chance. 3.5 stars. It’s a gripper with lots of turns.

All 3 twist and turn and surprise

I love all Harlan Coben books, especially the Myron Bolitar series. The plot is generally really good (sometimes a bit cliché but I appreciate the typical storyline every now and then) and the characters are awesome. they constantly come up with hilarious witty lines and comebacks. Myron and his best friend, Win, are a great pair who make for excellent main characters. My only criticism is that the women in Myron's life are all really weak and underdeveloped characters (with the exception of Esperanza, Myron's awesome and funny co-worker). They rarely say anything, and when they do it's not very funny nor insightful. It makes you wonder why Myron is even attracted to them (besides for the fact that generally speaking they are exceptionally physically attractive. Which makes you feel like that is just a substitute for their lack of personality.)
Overall, the books are a great and fun read.

Read all of his books. Win is my favorite character. An unsuspecting hero that you want to dislike but can't help but appreciate that in a pinch he is always there to save Myron's behind.

[Susan]

These are great escape mysteries with good characters and fun plot. Not deep, just a good read...
