Promise Me You'll Give Coben A Try
Advantages: Uniquely well-written with scenes and characters that are easy to visualise, gripping plot
Disadvantages: Lacks some of the grittiness of other Coben novels perhaps
This is another book in the Coben list that I've read and reviewed because I just can't get enough of them. For those who've read one of his books before, this is another that features his two most-loved characters, Myron and Win, so you wont be disappoin ...

Playing The Long Game
Advantages: Easy enough to read, a few twists, easy to visualise scenes
Disadvantages: Too drawn out in parts, elements of cliche, weak ending
I've read and reviewed a few Coben novels now and consider him to be one of my favourite authors. Unfortunately, because this was one of his far earlier pieces, it doesn't have the same flair as the rest of what I've read and so it's not really one I'd re ...
