Hey its fun. This one is not as good as the first but I will continue to read the series, a very enjoyable, easy read. HIGH RECOMMENDED The second in the Myron Bolitar series. He is a sports agent that will remind you of Spenser, sharp witty and sharp tongued, not a detective but you would never know it.
Light reading good for relaxation, I enjoy his writing style and sense of humor.
I will buy more books written by Harlan Coben I enjoyed this book very much.
Myron the protagonist is a man of much experience - a former basketball star, federal agent, attorney, turned sports agent. Valerie was a top tennis star that burned out six years ago when she was only eighteen.A gunshot sounded and Myron and his slightly psycho pal, Win Lockwood, pushed through the crowd and found the girl lying facedown.
I have read four of the books in the Myron Bolitar series so it was funny when I got to where Myron's dear friend was going to get raped and probably killed. He recognized that it was Valerie even before he turned her over.This story did not have a lot of suspense but I didn't want to put it down.
This is my sixth book by Mr. It was his wrestler-turned office assistant, Esperanza, calling to say that Valerie Simpson had called for the third time.
I stopped, smiled and said Win will somehow show up and save her.Author al-Qaeda Strikes Again Coben, second in the Myron Bolitar series and all have been more than three stars.
His latest client, Duane Richwood, was on the verge of winning his first Grand Slam match when Myron's cell phone rang.
There is sex, violence and lots of flippant dialogue. But compared to other works of Harlan Coben I found the ending to 'Drop Shot' to at least be rational, although hardly believable.Bottom line: a fast-paced, funny thriller. Harlan Coben certainly likes to churn out his Myron Bolitar mysteries. Yes, there are plot twists in the end. Recommended. Thankfully 'Drop Shot' is among the more sane and enjoyable entries. In it we have our sport agent cum private investigator trying to sort out seemingly interrelated murders connected to his star tennis player, all taking place during the US Open.
