Win is a highly entertaining and suspenseful thriller that’s chock full of surprises. #1 New York Times bestselling author Harlan Coben, he of over 30 published mysteries/thrillers and exec producer of his own original Netflix series, proves once again why he’s one of the most bankable authors in the genre today.
Win is the story of the past coming back with a vengeance and connecting the dots between different events. I won’t share the details as to keep from spoiling the plot twists, but rest assured it includes kidnapping, theft, domestic terrorism, ass kicking, sex and more. Wrap that together with a case that is personal to the main character and you have a recipe for an engaging and captivating story.
Windsor Horne Lockwood III, aka Win, is a fascinating character. He’s not new to Harlan Coben fans, as he has appeared in the Myron Bolitar series. But this is the first time he’s the featured character, so let’s get to know him a bit better. He’s a combo of Bruce Wayne’s money and means with Reacher’s mentality and toughness. A rich asshole with a moral code, pursuing vigilante justice with the knowledge that his wealth will keep him out of prison. Loyal to his friends and family but abhors romantic attachments, eschewing relationships for casual sex with uber-affluent women. Persistently seeking answers despite the danger, leveraging his arrogance and the best training money can buy to emerge victorious and in one piece. A complex individual who you root for but feel a bit dirty doing so because of his tendency to be a dick. In other words, a man that readers will have a love/hate relationship with.
You don’t need me to tell you Harlan Coben is a great writer and that you should read his books. 75M+ books in print do that for me. However, I can and will reaffirm that Coben is a must read and that Win is the latest in a long string of fantastic thriller novels guaranteed to appeal to anyone who likes a good mystery.
