Harlan Coben - Deal Breaker: Library Edition

Pros: very easy read, funny
Cons: I can’t think of any...perhaps characters are too caricature?

Background My pattern with reading books is that I search for an author, and once I find one that I like, I end up exhausting that author’s body of work until am left with nothing to read. Then the process starts all over again. Every so often ...

Pros: An intriguing mystery, with a pinch of humor tossed in.
Cons: Some readers might not enjoy certain scenes in this book.

Pros: Great writing, great characters, funny, smart...I could go on & on!!
Cons: I cant think of a one!!

I loved this book. I am a mystery book lover. And even more I love a good series. And even more than that I love a good mystery series that can make me laugh. This book hooked me into the Myron Bolitar world. The leading character is funny, witty and has a big heart. I got Harlen Coben as a read-a-like of such authors as....Janet Evanovich, Sue Grafton, Rita Mae Brown, Karen Kijewski etc. I liked this series more than any of those. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good mystery and has a sense of humor.
