About this listen

NOW A PRIME VIDEO SERIES from internationally bestselling author Harlan Coben

Mickey Bolitar's year can't get much worse. After witnessing his father's death and sending his mom to rehab, he's forced to live with his estranged uncle Myron and switch high schools.

A new school comes with new friends and new enemies, and lucky for Mickey, it also comes with a great new girlfriend, Ashley. For a while, it seems like Mickey's train-wreck of a life is finally improving—until Ashley vanishes without a trace. Unwilling to let another person walk out of his life, Mickey follows Ashley's trail into a seedy underworld that reveals that this seemingly sweet, shy girl isn't who she claimed to be. And neither was Mickey's father. Soon, Mickey learns about a conspiracy so shocking that it makes high school drama seem like a luxury—and leaves him questioning everything about the life he thought he knew.

First introduced to readers in Harlan Coben's adult novel, Live Wire, Mickey Bolitar is as quick-witted and clever as his uncle Myron, and eager to go to any length to save the people he cares about. With this series, Coben introduces an entirely new generation of fans to the masterful plotting and wry humor that have made him an award-winning, internationally bestselling, and beloved author.

book vs show

so, I watched the show before listening to the book and I wish I had done it the other way around. characters are different, same names, different races, etc.
I definitely think I enjoyed the book more. looking forward to listening to the rest!

Ending bites

The story was not bad. The ending was absolutely dumb. Ruined the whole thing. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. No stars for the ending. Bad, bad, bad Harlan. Go to your room.

Light

More of a story directed at a young audience, seems to have been dependent upon the Myron book name to lure readers.
