Commentary Conducive To Books Darkest Fear (Myron Bolitar #7)
Edgar Award-winner Harlan Coben brings us his most astonishing--and deeply personal--novel yet. And it all begins when Myron Bolitar's ex tells him he's a father ... of a dying thirteen-year-old boy.Myron never saw it coming. A surprise visit from an ex-girlfriend is unsettling enough. But Emily Downing's news brings him to his knees. Her son Jeremy is dying and needs a bone-marrow transplant--from a donor who has vanished without a trace. Then comes the real shocker: The boy is Myron's son, conceived the night before her wedding to another man.
Staggered by the news, Myron plunges into a search for the missing donor. But finding him means cracking open a dark mystery that involves a broken family, a brutal kidnapping spree, and the FBI. Somewhere in the sordid mess is the donor who disappeared. And as doubts emerge about Jeremy's true paternity, a child vanishes, igniting a chain reaction of heartbreaking truth and chilling revelation.

Best yet, with plenty of room to grow/ like more Winn and Esperanza.The secret of the relationship between Win and Myron should be coming. A detective series about a top-notch basketball player, with mentions of sports all the time - a great idea for a series.My unbiased opinion of the books was I liked it. The characters were well developed. We all watch movies and at one time or another went to concerts and how we pick what we see is who they are. I liked this book for the story it told but also for the Myron's friend Win. Even though he played a small part it was pivotal in it. We have lawyers, journalists, mega rich people and the FBI to contend. Mr. Coben weaved a story that had you guessing to the very end can't wait to read his next book.
This may be Harlan Coban's best book yet - at least the best one in the Myron Bolitar series. It's personal and intense with a story that threatens to rip your heart out. Myron discovers that he is the father of his old girlfriend's 13 year old son Jeremy who will die soon without a bone marrow transplant. They are off on a series of horrendous adventures, including the fact that Jeremy is kidnapped and they cannot find the one person who is the perfect match for the transplant. It's another
Another excellent entry in the series. There's always a good mystery sprinkled liberally with funny characters & quips. If it tickles your funny bone, it's great. It does mine & so I can forgive some overused tropes like finding out about a kid, serial killers, & such. Still makes an engaging story, especially since I've read all the books in the series in order. That's important since there are recurring characters & a lot of back story. I haven't let too much time lapse between
Picked this up off the shelf at work. Two day read for me, with a decent plot, and a cast of funky characters. First Coben book I've read. He's so bad that it actually became fun reading. The first paragraph, I'm sure, was actually written as an entry into the Bulwer-Lyton bad writing contest. As a bonus, Coben drops into a 2nd person voice, addressing the reader as an author. He's clearly a fan of Douglas Adams, but lacks his wit.Not impossible to follow as a standalone novel, but probably one
Wow, what a very fine book. The best I've read in a while. This is a good example of a page turner. I was completely caught up in the story and the characters. I've only read one Coben before, The Woods, which I also highly recommend. This is the first one I've read in the Bolitar series but I'm off to pick up the rest of them now. A very talented author.
Harlan Coben is doing exactly what he was born to do.Darkest Fear has a tight plot line, sharp humor, and flowing prose. Coben's ability to use metaphor, and his descriptions, are vivid, pertinent, and so spot on that I quite literally stopped reading for a moment ... and came to the realization that he isn't just very good ... he is one of the finest writers out there. He's just that good.It's one of his Myron Bolivar series, so you get Win, Esperanza, and his parents as the regular cast,
