Live Wire by Harlan Coben

Title: Live Wire
Author: Harlan Coben
Did I listen or read?: Library book
When did I finish?: June 16, 2011
When was the book published: March 2011
Main Characters: Myron Bolitar, partner Little Pocohontas Esperenza, WIn the rich guy.
Kitty, former start tennis player married to his brother who he hasn't seen for 15 years, SuzeeZ another ex star tennis player, married to Lex who he also represents and is in the band HorsePower with Gabriel Wire. And his parents
What happens? SuzzeT comes to him pregnant - someone has posted on her facebook page that Lex is not the father. Myron investigates. Mobsters are involved and the past with his brother Brian who he fought with 15 years ago is dragged up.
How long was this? 370 pages
Did I like this? It was OK, not great, good story, Coben is a good writer, but the Bolitar thing is not as good as his standalone novels. You have a wisecracking, self deprecating tough guy investigating and his mysterious, very powerful friend at his side through thick and thin, and you have Spenser and Hawk, right? Or you could go with Elvis Cole and his buddy Joe. So this is not original...but still entertaining.
Overall grade: B-
