Funk Rating: 8 out of 10
Holy cow have I been bad about blogging lately! To my 4 loyal and faithful fans (you know who you are), I apologize. To all the others that graze through here for grins and laughs, I also apologize. I've read a couple dozen books since my last blog; I'll comment on the ones I remember, which should spare you some bad ones ;)
This is the first Myron Bolitar novel by Coben. Done way back in 1995. It's amazing to me how well he nailed his characters even back then, and successfully built a franchise that was so consistent. If a few clues along the way (and a violate on the front cover saying "The First Myron Bolitar Novel") hadn't been noticed by the ever sharp yours truly, I think he could have updated a few things and passed it off as a new one.
Very fun, very enjoyable. Tough story in spots (one of the victims was buried alive!), but fantastic fodder for an airplane or a pool.
