Live Wire

I've really been in a reading malaise lately. I've started plenty of books but have not had the energy to finish any of them. Enter Harlan Coben.

LIVE WIRE is the latest installment in his Myron Bolitar series and it feels like the final book. To use the cliche, everything changes and nothing can be the same. Or as Win says in the book, "Good things are rare. They are to be cherished because they always leave us too soon." The collected Myron Bolitar books are a feat of storytelling, but nothing lasts forever. The characters have evolved and changed over the years and that is for the better. However, the ending leaves the reader grasping for the future. Any good writer could bring back the characters in a new and exciting direction, but I almost have to ask if Coben should. Maybe it is time to move on and COben almost seems ready to do so. He has a new book coming out in the fall starring Mickey Bolitar, Myron's nephew introduced in this book. This YA series could open new roads for the characters we have grown to love, but don't quite want to let go yet.
