Finished: Home (Coben) Will Harlan Coben ever write a book that I can take days savoring instead of reading cover to cover in one day?? Sigh, I love my Harlan Coben books! In this book, he brings back Myron Bolitar and his trusty sidekick, Win! I've missed these characters!! In the story, Win has been gone for a year, tracking the people who kidnapped two six year old boys, one of them his cousin's son, Rhys, ten years before. He's finally got a lead, and thinks he has found one of the boys in London. It turns out to be Patrick, the boy who was with his cousin's son that day. Win calls on Myron, and all the usual gang, to help him figure out where Rhys is, and if he's even still alive. All kinds of twists happen as, at first, they don't even think sixteen year old who returned home is truly Patrick, but an imposter. When it turns out to actually be him, his parents refuse to let him speak to the parents of Rhys so he can try and help with what happened to Rhys. What ends up happening in the end, is a surprise, but not a happy one. Turns out Rhys has been dead all along and Patrick, tragically, but accidentally shot him as a six year old. The entire kidnapping was then fabricated by Patrick's parents so that their son wouldn't be scarred and they themselves wouldn't be jailed for having a gun. This is, of course, a very simplistic recap, but same old, good, good, good Harlan Coben! :-)
