One of the boys, Rhys, the son of Chick and Brooke Baldwin, is a relative of Windsor “Win” Horne Lockwood, III, who happens to be Myron Bolitar’s best friend.

This should be your first clue that things are slightly different now, because, when has Win ever asked for help? It is as if you are hearing his voice – wise-cracking and colloquial with lots of asides and opinions. If you shoot someone with a gun, you are trained to aim for the middle mass so that if your aim is slightly askew, you can still hit something. I'm not going to spoil the experience for other readers so suffice it to say that we're immediately brought up to date on what's happened since we last saw most of the characters.I also liked the fact that Mickey - Myron's nephew who I have just read about in the YA series he features in - was also in the story with his crime solving friends Ema and Spoon. A decade ago, kidnappers grabbed two boys from wealthy families and demanded ransom, then went silent. You can feel it in your lizard brain, a primitive, inner, warning trill that you cannot quite explain. The characters, particularly Myron and Win, have definitely matured, and Myron’s nephew Mickey (who has his own series) plays an important part in Home. Following a covert investigation and dangerous retrieval of the boy, he is reunited with his family.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Interesting case in this one, two six year old boys, kidnapped ten years previously, one the son of Win's favorite cousin. Drawing on his singular talent, Harlan Coben delivers an explosive and deeply moving thriller about friendship, family, and the meaning of home.One of my go to mystery plot lines, a missing persons case, is the basis here so if I already wasn’t hooked enough, this just upped my interest. Sure enough, a teenage boy who bears a striking resemblance to Patrick appears to be a street hustler. Win has always been a bit of a mystery, so I love that he's sharing the spotlight with Myron in this book.

I will share, however, that one of the best surprises is being given Win Lockwood's point of view throughout the book. We were looking and thought we were ready for his signature surprising final twist but like always for us we were left shocked and excited that once again the king of twists delivers an unexpected final twist. The Real Book Spy notes that: "Dedicated fans are treated to a number of juicy tidbits and inside jokes. Patrick Moore—that is the boy’s name—leans against the graffiti-littered concrete support of the underpass. So it was a delight to sample his latest offering, and one featuring his investigator Myron Bolitar, and Windsor Horne Lockwood, III [aka "Win"] – for this is one of the most riveting and thought provoking thrillers of 2016.I was pulled in right from the first chapter because Harlan Coben has an easy-to-read style of storytelling. The fact that they are like chalk and cheese makes the partnership all the more entertaining and I don't know of any other crime busting duo that works so well by another author. I have read several of Harlan Coben's books and have enjoyed them but this is the first Myron Bolitar book I have read.

That reason alone is what bumped my review to a full 5 star rating; I can’t tell you the amount of maturation in the author’s writing of this series between this book and the last. I might be good at what I do, but despite the fact that King’s Cross station is indeed where Harry Potter headed off for Hogwarts, I do not possess an invisibility cloak. Myron and Win decide to go back to the beginning and try to determine exactly what happened in the first place. Home by Harlan Coben is another gripping thriller with a relentless pace that kept me enthralled until the last page.I am above-average height and on the slight side, you’d say, with blond-heading-toward-gray hair, a skin tone that runs from porcelain in the warmth to ruddy in the cold, and features that some might consider delicate in, I hope, a handsome way. It's been five years since the last Myron Bolitar book, and I hadn't realized how much I missed the characters. Tampoco se echa de menos esas conversaciones socarronas entre los protagonistas, especialmente entre Myron Y Win.
