Harlan Coben- Promise Me (Signet Books 2007) 4 Stars

It has been six years since Myron Bolitar tried to save someone, not since the last brutal failure. Haunted by the death of a woman he tried to save he now finds himself making a promise to the daughters of his new girlfriend, and her best friend, daughter of one of his friends. He tries to prevent them from catching rides with drunken friends by offering to give them a ride if ever they need it; little did he know what he was getting himself into.

The intro to this book was kind of interesting. It isn’t action packed, but it grabs your attention and makes you wonder how this is going to tie in. I found the characters to be really good. We got to learn a bit more about Win’s past and how he became the man he is in the series. We also got to see the character of Bolitar becoming stronger and less of a pushover. The plot was pretty good, could have been a little stronger. It had some great twists, but the big twist at the end I saw coming about a quarter of the way through. Overall this was a pretty good book, I love this series and it was a decent instalment.
