didn’t like the plot line and decided to give up and move on to one of the other five or six books I’m reading right now. Among his novels are two series, each involving the same protagonist set in and around New York and New Jersey; some characters appear in both.

Run Away - Harlan Coben

Once again, Run Away focuses more on drawing the reader in by becoming the conduit to connect reader to cast which results in a memorable read, much more memorable than putting all the proverbial eggs into the "wild, unimaginable twist". Despite their best efforts, despite moments that it seemed like she may really get better those moments were elusive and would quickly slip through their fingers as Paige slipped back into the waiting arms of heroine. In fact, I was never able to figure out how it all tied together until Coben tied it all together for me at the end. The kids have had everything that wealth could throw at them, but while mum and dad were busy living their perfect lives, Paige has taken a wrong turning on life’s journey, and has fallen into a world of drugs, dealers, criminals and an abusive boyfriend. Don't get me wrong, there were a few good twists here, and one that I was so blindsided by that I had to reread a certain page THREE TIMES to make sure I was understanding correctly, but the details that have kept me picking up Harlan Coben novels for over a decade now are the deeply personal characters.Brooks places the epicenter of the Bigfoot war in a high-tech hideaway populated by the kind of people you might find in a Jurassic Park franchise: the schmo who doesn’t know how to do much of anything but tries anyway, the well-intentioned bleeding heart, the know-it-all intellectual who turns out to know the wrong things, the immigrant with a tough backstory and an instinct for survival. With more than eighty million books in print worldwide, Harlan Coben is the worldwide number 1 bestselling author of numerous thrillers, including Run Away, The Boy from the Woods, Win and The Match as well as the multi-award-winning Myron Bolitar series. While this won't surpass Home as my favorite of his books, Coben has another terrific book on his hands.

Run Away by Harlan Coben | Goodreads

While Myron does proclaim to be a sports agent, somehow the cases in the books bring him closer and closer to being more of a detective than anything else. When a friend tells Simon he’s seen a girl in Central Park playing music who looks just like Paige he tries everything to hunt her down.For his books, Harlan Coben received several awards over the years and was nominated for several ones as well. This is one rabbit hole that the reader has to experience for themselves, as it takes you far away from the promise of the blurb, it is so much more than that. When Paige's boyfriend tries to keep Simon from running after her, Simon does the only thing he can—he punches the man in the nose. Maybe, but the sasquatches whom the volcano displaced contributed to the statistics, too, if only out of self-defense. There were definitely some surprises to be had here, and there was some rich emotion and character development as well.

Simon has lost his daughter Paige to a dark and dangerous world, "where criminal gangs rule, where drugs are the main currency, and murder is commonplace. Coben is currently developing 14 projects, including Run Away, with Netflix in the US and internationally. But his world turns much darker the day that, following a tip, he sees her playing guitar in Central Park and tries to talk to her.

The following Myron Bolitar novel, Back Spin, won the 1998 Barry Award and was nominated for the Dilys Award and the Shamus Award. In some respects, I feel a bit for Mr Coben as, once you start writing books of this caliber, there is enormous pressure to keep pumping them out. Clues were given and they nagged you while you read, but didn't completely realize until much too late when it's revealed. But the hints of other crimes Tempe’s identification uncovers, particularly crimes against children, spur her on to redouble her efforts despite the new M. Except Simon really hadn’t and when one day he sees her in Central Park, he goes after her and things get out of control.
