Promise Me - Tapa dura

I liked Myron Bolitar, the laidback hero of many of his books¿ but I never really got to know Myron properly until this latest book. This is the humanization of Myron Bolitar. Just 12 pages from the end of the book I still had no idea about how it was going to be resolved. There are lovely light-hearted lessons in life sprinkled throughout but PROMISE ME is not about preaching, it is about catching you by those short hairs on the back of your neck (Maeve Binchy THE SUNDAY TIMES, 3 May)

Gripping, violent and original. (LITERARY REVIEW, May 2006)

Delivers the kind of assured storytelling and quirky characterisation which he is celebrated for. Coben's narrative skills are second to none, and this is very much the author firing on all cylinders. (GOOD BOOK GUIDE, 1 May)

Bolitar is a glorious character, full of the right kind of quips and wise-ass backchat. Coben's thrillers always have a dramatic twist at the end, sometimes even two or three, and this does not disappoint on that score. (Matthew Lewin THE GUARDIAN, 20 May)

A brilliant new Myron Bolitar mystery. Coben proves why he's one of the top crime writers in the world. (DAILY MIRROR, 26 May)

Coben is on a roll... Twists galore. (PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH, 27 May)

Coben's usual charm turns it all into an entertaining read. (Susanna Yager THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH)

Coben's hugely popular series character Myron Bolitar returns in a new thriller jam-packed with the trademark twists and turns. (LANCASHIRE EVENING POST, 26 May)

Rejoice. After a temporary absence, Myron Bolitar is back. Coben proves yet again that mean, twisted minds inhabit the deceptively squeaky-clean suburbs of New Jersey. (Daneet Steffens TIME OUT, 21 Jun)

Coben is on a roll... twists galore. (PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH, 27 May)
