The Innocent By Harlan Coben
I have read several of Coben’s Mryon Bolitar books. This was a departure and a captivating
one. An ex-con finds his life disrupted
by unexplained attacks.
Matt Hunter life is dramatically changed by one nights
unforeseen circumstances. Years later
as an ex-con he discovers that the only constant in life is continual
change. Coben does a good job in
portraying a man practically overwhelmed by circumstances. Matt’s faith in his spouse and his own
honesty provides him with the necessary resilience to survive a increasingly
horrific scenario.
The plot is intricate and almost confusing. This is a book that you need to carefully
read to keep abreast of the plot. (pun
intended) There are enough twists and
surprises to keep even the most jaded mystery aficionado delirious with
delight. Another hit by Coben who can’t seem to write a
stinker.

The Boy Who Loved Sharks by William G. Bentrim
The Boy Who Loved Sharks
Most of my books deal with social issues. I have been asked
if I couldn’t write something that is more light hearted. We have all known
children that become “experts” on things they like and we have been amazed at
how much they can learn when they are internally motivated. The boy who loved
sharks is an example of how one little boy succeeds in his dreams by using what
he has learned and demonstrating his compassionate nature.

The Human Disguise by James O’Neal
This is a cop book set in a near, possible future. Tom Wilner is a cop trying to maintain order
in a dystopian future south Florida. He is ex-military facing bio-engineered
diseases and possible aliens. His
priorities change dramatically when his family is threatened.
The near future aspect is frightening due to it’s possible
probability based on current events. Syria’s
domination of the current international news scene makes this story even more
frightening.
There is a not so subtler finger pointed at human greed and
prejudice. There author draws parallels
and I think is trying to prod the reader into pondering the behavior of our
society.
Wilner is an example of the best of us. His passion, tenacity and foibles make him a
believable character. The Simolits and
the Hallecks demonstrate the differing directions that evolving species can
choose.
The book stands well alone but most definitely sets up
sequels. The approaching alien space
ship may move the series from a near future cop story to a more main stream
scifi.
I recommend the book.
