Review 1: Darkest Fear audiobook by Danyel

Not bad

I am a big fan of the Myron Bolitar series. This book was slow to start and lacked some of the banter that the characters delivered in other books; Coben spent a little too much time on background info related to the characters so it took awhile to get into the mystery. .It ended pretty well.

Review 2: Darkest Fear audiobook by Leander Lady

Another great thriller from Coben

This is the first Harlan Coben novel I’ve listened to and I loved it. The dialogue between his characters really came alive. I’ve read most of his books and really enjoy his style. This book keeps you guessing all the way through.

Review 3: Darkest Fear audiobook by Richard Delman

Myron Bolitar retires. Harlan Coben moves on.

This is the seventh Myron Bolitar novel, I believe, and we can see why Mr. Coben decided to put the character to rest. Coben had clearly taken this character as far as he could. The book is certainly readable, and Jonathan Marosz makes it listenable. But the cast of characters seems tired rather than fresh, and each of them has become unidimensional, with the possible exception of Windsor Locke Horne III, who is something of a cartoon anyway. The plot has devolved into something resembling supermarket paperback stuff. Coben has by this time amassed a large audience, and I really believe that he did not want to milk this character, his first creation, to the bitter end. Unfortunately, the humor by this point is pretty much gone. We were delighted at first by Esperanza and Big Cindi, along with Myron and Win and Myron’s parents, but none of them has grown. The story involves a 13-year-old boy who is Myron’s son by an old flame named Emily. The boy needs a bone marrow transplant, for which there are very few donors. Near the end we learn that the father of a journalist friend has kidnapped Jeremy, the boy, but frankly the plot has twisted so many times and turned for no reason other than to complicate things, that Coben actually manages to squeeze this stuff so hard that it’s a little boring. Good thing he began writing other books.
