This audiobook was perfect entertainment for a road trip. You don’t go into this expecting deep characters. No, it’s all about the excitement, the constant energy of this book, the twists and turns of a lively plot. There’s a big smirk factor to this book, as Win reeks of money and privilege and knows it. You also shouldn’t expect believability. It’s just fun in the manner of a well done action film.
I’ve known Win for many years, as he was a constant character in Coben’s Myron Bolivar series. He was always the one that had Myron’s back. Not one for rules. This time, his decision to take matters into his own hands backfires. There is a subplot that involves him deciding to “help�� his lawyer tenant who helps women with abuse and stalking issues. But the main plot line involves a dead hoarder who just happens to have a Vermeer painting that was stolen from the Lockwood estate many years ago. You’d think he’d be a character that would be hard to like but you’d be wrong. He’s charismatic despite his ego.
It’s told as if Win is speaking directly to the reader, with lots of asides and fun stories, which worked especially well as an audiobook.
Steven Weber was absolutely fabulous. He’s got the voices and the excitement. He truly added an extra compound to the equation.
