Win (Windsor Horne Lockwood III, #1)
by
by
Coben is back with an enthralling mystery/thriller with Myron’s super-wealthy blueblood friend, Windsor ‘Win� Horne Lockwood III, taking the lead role. Win is asked to accompany the FBI to a Manhattan apartment where a man has been strangled/throat slashed. Among the hoarder’s possessions is the Lockwood Vermeer that had been stolen 20 years before; and even more disturbing is a suitcase with Win’s initials on it. The body proves to be radical left leader that has evaded authorities after a bombing incident that left seven people dead. As for the suitcase, it is tied to the abduction of Win’s cousin Patricia Lockwood when she was a teenager. Coben provides plenty of twists and turns in his tale.
While Coben’s Myron character was endearing, Win’s hedonistic personality is more than a little off-putting. Coben’s Win character is best served in small doses.

Haven’t read a Coben in many years ........ good to see he’s still so popular. I’m hoping to read one of his later novels soon ........ nice review.

It would be interesting to see sales numbers for his stand-alone books versus his series featuring Myron. That may explain why he has circled back to the Myron series with Win.

It’s probably a really inaccurate observation but I think of him as being the forerunner of the slew of thrillers we now see ....... ie everyman/ woman hero, missing wife, child etc etc.
I’ve only ever read (and loved) his stand alone novels.
