Myron needed to get away from it all, so he ran off to the Carribbean with a woman he hardly knew and spent weeks soaking up the sun on a deserted island. His time on the island is cut short when he learns that his partner, Esperanza, is being charged with the murder of one of his oldest clients, Clu Haid. Clu was a fraternity brother, who has spent most of his life boozing and chasing women but his life finally seems to have been coming together. Myron is certain that Esperanza didn't do it, but she's not telling him anything and so Myron has to put the pieces together for himself. Myron's search for the truth isn't easy and some of the things he learns about his partner, his clients, and other people he thought he knew aren't easy to deal with. Most of all, Myron has to take a look at himself and all that he was running away from.
As usual, Harlan Coben's books are filled with great twists and turns, wisecracking humor and thought-provoking situations. I think Myron is the greatest - you can't help but love him for his kind heart and his goofy sense of humor. As usual, his other buddies, Win, Esperanza and Big Cindi add color and humor. This book kept me guessing until the end and still, I didn't have a clue who had committed the murder or why. Mostly, I just keep reading and can't let go because the plot keeps me tied in until the surprise finish, tying all the loose ends together.
Rating - 4.5 stars
