Myron is in trouble for falling for a client

One False Move - Harlan Coben

Myron is now getting a young women basketball player Brenda as client. She wants him to find his father as he has disappeared for a week. 

 

This disappearance has linked to her mother, who has disappeared many years ago. 

 

The investigation getting him into trouble. A politician Arthur is interfering with the investigation into the disappeared woman because she was the witness of another death, the death of Arthur's wife.

 

The twists and turn and threats. Win get involved only to tell Myron to get his goal right. What is his client best interest? 

 

More threats and more lies. Win is trying to play bodyguard with Myron for Brenda. Also there is a chemistry between them. Jessica is away too often that got Myron afraid of being too vulnerable. Jessica has cheated on Myron and that broken his heart. Now she is back, is she running away? Jessica doesn't seem to care about Myron as long as she could have both Myron and her freedom to do as she please without considering how it affect Myron.

 

So Myron needs someone who put him first, and at least care enough to be there with him. Is Myron too clingy? Some form of clingy might be good in this case. Too carefree mean not caring at all. 

 

Win doesn't believe in love and it needs a leap of faith. 

 

All in all a good story. Myron might not be the best detective as he usually figured things out, sometimes a bit late in the game. But he is not really a detective but a sports agent. Strange profession to be doing so much fighting. 

 

Another 4.5 stars read.
