Tell No One

Product Information

This is OK as far as thrillers go. It’s got a nice hook to it, but like a lot of these types of story, the plot twists eventually take a turn into pure outlandishness. Plus, I read Coben’s newer book Six Years recently, and that one also involves a man trying to unravel a mystery regarding his lost love so even though this one came first, it seemed more than a little repetitive to me. He’s been warned to tell no one, and as the desperation of his search for the truth intensifies, he heads straight toward a deadly secret. I read and reviewed these two novels separately, so this is basically just for my own records. I'm not surprised the two stories were grouped together - they're very similar, both dealing with missing (presumed dead) family members and secrets unravelling.

These personal cases turn him into an accidental detective since there is a lot of investigative work he does in the books.

After a six-year hiatus, it's good to herald the return of Myron Bolitar, the former Boston Celtics basketball star who became a sports agent and crime solver in Coben's sprightly, Continue reading » With Coben, it's very hard to review a book without mentioning spoilers. If I wrote what I want to write, my review would look like a heavily redacted top secret file. So, I will just hit on some key points: COBEN RAISES THE BAR FOR LITERARY WHODUNITS, Contra Costa Times, June 24, 2001 (quite positive review states, "... Harlan Coben with Tell No One which sets a new standard for traditional mystery fiction")

Myron Bolitar is the main character of the Harlan Coben series featuring an ex-famous NBA basketball star who is now an agent for sports celebrities, with his own company called MB SportsReps. He had no other choice but to sleuth his way to the truth of what happened that night in the lake when Elizabeth disappeared and he woke up in the hospital five days later.
