Think Twice by Harlan Coben


 

Coben has aged Win and Myron.  They are still irascible and Win is still as deadly but they are thinking about what they are doing rather than reacting.

People are being killed but the killers are brought before dame Justice with unusual rapidity.  That is a good thing, right?

There is a son in the picture that shows I’ve missed a few books. 

There is the normal wealth of action and deceit with lying, cheating and a dose of Big Cyndi.

Coben had a bit more emotional byplay than normal and wrote it very well.

I heartily enjoyed the book. This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases if you click on a purchasing link below.#CommissionsEarned

Pitch Dark by Paul Doiron




 A Maine Game Warden investigator finds himself on a relentless chase through unforgiving terrain.

Mike Bowditch, the investigator, talks to himself continuously and frequently he doesn’t like the answers he gets.   His pseudo-father, his actual father-in-law, points out that Mike is impulsive, overconfident, and jumps to conclusions.

Mike faces an unfriendly bush pilot, an enormous private eye, an ex-special services operator, a pre-teen girl, and the entire law enforcement community of Canada.

The only drawback to the book was the wolf-dog Shadow.  I had hoped he would have a larger role.  

I highly recommend the book and hope to see a sequel.
