I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Harlan four times, once in Houston and three times when he’s come to Cleveland. He is ALWAYS a hoot. He is charming, smart, and quick with the humor. You will never regret seeing him in person. I’ve read all of his books and have liked them all, some more than others. I first read Tell No One, a great place to start if you’ve never read him, and then read his first book and haven’t looking back.
Even if you’ve never read his books, you’ve probably seen at least one of his book adaptations on Netflix or Amazon Prime. They are always well done.
His thrillers are always full of twists and turns, humor, and fantastic dialogue. If you love thrillers, the kind that you can’t put down until you’re finished, this is the guy for you.
Myron Bolitar series (Harlan calls them the Myron and Win books)
Myron is a smart ass, but one with a certain humanity and goodness and I am always rooting for him and his even bigger smart ass friend, Win, to save the day. And they usually do, but they do not come away unscathed. Myron is the heart and Win is the muscle and both are whip smart and loyal to each other. This series has a fantastic cast of characters and I love that time does go by and they are showing their age, but still kicking ass. I love all of these books.
Win got his own first person book.
And Myron’s nephew Mickey has his own trilogy. This was made into a fantastic series on Amazon Prime.
Wilde series
So far this only has two books, but I loved them both.

He quickly became my favorite author as well. I discovered him while starting with the As and choosing authors I’ve never read at the library. When I got to his books in the Cs, I devoured them all.
You may be t he only person I know that reads enough to do such a thing as starting with As! That is a fabulous idea 🙂 Did you make it all the way to z?
I think the first Coben book I read was maybe in 1999 or so. I have enjoyed many of his books, but I’ve never gotten to see him at an event. Maybe one day. I encourage people to try his Myron/Win series too!
I bet you could find some of his appearances on You Tube just to get a taste.
I’m pretty sure I have read at least one Harlan Coben book, but if I have it must have been before I kept my reviews on Goodreads. He definitely sounds like a fun person to meet and a good writer!
I’ve read a lot of his books too.

I am always looking for a good new (to me) series, and this sounds like it could be it! Thanks for teeing up the various series from Coben for me, and I think I’ll begin at the beginning with Deal Breaker.
As with any series, I think it gets better the father you get, but you’ll see if you like his writing style and his plotting from the beginning. Hope you like it!
