✰ Bianca ✰ BJ's Book Blog ✰ 's Reviews > Win

Before I start my review.... If you have never ever read a Harlan Coben book - you've obviously made a huge mistake in your reading career. Huge. ☺ But you can still read this one. Win has been in all 11 Myron Bolitar books, but this is a complete standalone mystery. BUT, if I were you, I would start with book #1 - Dealbreaker! Please! Win is just too great to miss out on even the slightest mention of him in another book. ☺

OK - here's my review ...

WIN! IS! BACK!
With his own book!
I was so excited to get started with this, I almost didn't start it at all.
I was just too excited. And afraid. Because once you start it, it will inevitable end. Ugh.
If I had to pick one book-world to read for the rest of eternity ... it would be Win and Myron's world!

Ok... back to WIN. The book.
Win is still his usual waspy legend self. Living his best Manhattan bachelor life.
And now he's suddenly a little bit of a suspect in a murder/theft combo.
But Win has never seen the dead guy. But what he has seen before, is the 200 million dollar painting on the dead guy's wall. A painting that was stolen from his grandfather's study 20 years ago.
What he also recognizes ... is the custom-made suitcase with his initials on it - also found in the dead man's apartment.
What is happening?
And what does his cousin Patricia's kidnapping two decades ago have to do with things???

LET'S FIND OUT! ☺

WIN FOR THE WIN!

I know! He would Win-roll his beautiful eyes at this. ☺
But it's true.
I just loved reading this!
I was soo shocked and excited when Harlan announced this book. I couldn't wait to get my hands on it.
And now that I'm done with it ... I'm sad. Why didn't Harlan write some tiny 134224 more pages???
Ugh. ☺
But still - it was a beautiful story.
Well, not beautiful as in a cute romance or something.
It was a WIN story. With lots of Myron mentionings - but he's not in this! But he was definitely here in spirit. Win loves Myron and he loves to quote him. Adorable.
The story is great too. Typical Win/Myron/Harlan mystery.
You can guess all you want, but you won't ever guess what's happening. So I never even try, I just enjoy reading. And I loved the story. I loved the moments when we see a different Win. We never really heard his thoughts or saw his secret emotional smiles. He loves Myron, Ema, his family and close friends. He doesn't really have many people in his life. Ugh, I could write so much about poor Win.
But he's a happy little dude most of the time. He loves life. He loves himself. LOL. Now he just needs to find out what is happening with this case!
And he does of course, but it takes us a while to get there. I wouldn't have minded a few thousand more whiles though ...

I just love Harlan's books! And this time, with Win having to do it all by himself? Just as amazing as Myron's books. But I also want them to work together again one day soon! Would next week be good for you Harlan? K. Thanks.

Please Netflix... find the perfect Win & Myron and let Harlan write the script. I so need this!

WiN was the perfect Harlan Coben Mystery! But it was also so much more! I just loved it! Run to your nearest amazon for your own Win - this one is MINE! ☺
