Live Wire

Myron Bolitar, Book 10

De: Harlan Coben

Narrado por: Steven Weber

Harlan Coben has risen to the top of best-seller lists worldwide, attracting voracious audiences for his peerless novels of domestic suspense as well as those featuring his fan-favorite sports agent, Myron Bolitar. Now in Live Wire, he offers a knock-your-socks-off novel that will electrify all his fans: Myron’s family takes center stage.

Myron Bolitar has always dreamed about the voluptuous femme fatale walking into his office and asking for help. The woman standing in his doorway has killer curves all right: She’s eight months pregnant, which kind of ruins the fantasy. Former tennis star Suzze T and her rock star husband, Lex, are both clients, and over the years Myron has negotiated his share of contracts for the power pair. But now Lex has disappeared and a very pregnant Suzze is in tears, fearing the online rumors questioning the baby’s paternity have driven away the man she swears is the child’s father.

For Myron, questions of fatherhood couldn’t hit closer to home, as his dad, Al, clings to life; the brother who abandoned them all years ago is in trouble; and Myron’s teenage nephew needs an authority figure. Myron is soon forced to confront deep secrets in Suzze’s past; his family’s mortality - and before Live Wire is over, his own.

Dissappointed Coben/Bolitar fan

I've enjoyed Coben's Myron Bolitar series over the years and was excited to see a new installment. I'd rate Live Wire as O.K. (3 out of 5). Not as good as previous works -- saw predictable ending coming about an hour into the book. I also don't think that Weber's voice is a good match for Myron. Myron's a big dude (6'4")...a jock. Weber tries hard, but his Myron is flinty.

Worry

Some parts ran on and on with excessive and meaningless detail. Not his best work.

How can you not love Myron Bolitar?

I may be easy to please, but I really enjoy the characters in the Myron Bolitar books.

Great story line

Excellent character development and storyline from beginning to end. love the relationship between associates and family.

Probably the best one in the series so far!

Each book seems to only get better than the last. The characters are more interesting and endearing and the mystery more complex, intense, and intriguing. I loved this story with the crazy twists and although parts are tragic, there is also a sense of extreme unconditional love, respect, and friendship with this close group of family and friends. Really enjoyed listening to this one, sad there is only one more book left in the series!

Again Steven Weber is excellent at portraying Myron, as well as providing the rest of the cast with their own unique voices!!

Great narration!

Steven Weber did a phenomenal job bringing the book to life! I'm going to start searching for books narrated by him.

Substance

To much of what I call “filler”. That is asides that have nothing to do with the plot. Meaningless drivel! For example, involving Myron’s parents, big Cindy etc

Must read!

Fabulous reading by Steven Weber. Good story, twists and turns. Darker than previous ones in the series.

Great story

Perhaps my favorite story line from the last 4 books. A bit of everything... action, mystery, emotion. Although I did get the strange feeling the author is preparing for the Myron Bolitar series to end, which would be a big disappointment!

Another excellent story from a brilliant series

I never get tired of Myron and Win. I love Esperanza and Big Cindy. As others have said, the only thing that’s missing is Jonathan Morosz. Steven Weber is good but he’s not Myron. That said, it’s still a great story. I think I might be the only one who never stopped rooting for Myron and Jessica to get back together. I don’t know why she’s portrayed as this terrible person. I liked that relationship. But I digress. If you like Myron you’ll like this book. Harlan Coben never disappoints.
