Long Lost by Harlan Coben


Myron Bolitar gets an early morning phone call from an old lover named Terese Collins asking him to come to Paris. It's obvious she needs his help, so he decides to go. Soon after arriving, he and Terese are picked up by the police because her ex-husband, Rick, has been murdered. Evidence at the scene points to Rick's daughter being present. This is perplexing to both Myron and Terese since the daughter died ten years ago in a car accident where Terese was the driver....or did she? Myron tries to stay one step ahead of the authorities to find out the truth while keeping his feelings for Terese in check. Even though I'm not a fan of the Myron Bolitar books, I throughly enjoyed his last Bolitar novel, Promise Me. It was very successful in combining the suspense of his stand-alones with Bolitar and his supporting characters. Long Lost, to me, misses the mark. The storyline isn't a strong one and the ending is too weird...
