Genre:  Thriller

I began reading Myron Bolitar books late in the series, and started binge reading them after the first one.  His friends, family and associates became my family, friends and associates, and when Harlan Coben decided to retire them for a while, I went into a major funk.  I was thrilled to hear that Myron was coming back, in Harlan Coben's latest, Home, and I wasn't disappointed.  Myron's relationship with best friend Win always makes me laugh, and even though Big Cindi and Pocahontas are a bit over the top at times, those of us who have grown to love them have also grown to accept and even expect some of their shenanigans. 

Two young boys, Patrick and Rhys, went missing from Rhys' home ten years ago. Rhys' mother, is Win's cousin, and Win is determined to find out what happened to them. When a teenage boy who seems to be Patrick suddenly appears, there are more questions than answers, and after a few dead bodies and another disappearance, Win calls Myron for help.

Coben is in his element here, as he tantalizes us with clues and intrigue.  His characterization is strong, and we watch the main characters develop along with the plot.  I like the way he intertwines his characters from his other series into this book, too. He does a good job with first time characters as well. The parents of both boys are all victims who pull at our heart strings even as we try to figure them out.  The action never stops, and Coben's humor helps the reader relax during some of those fast paced moments.  

This might not have been my favorite Bolitar saga, but it kept me going from page one, and made me sad when I turned to the last page.  I am hoping that we don't have to wait long for the next book in this series...one hiatus was more than enough.
