I don't get the scary angle, at all. I find them very funny and frankly, if hilariously, absurd. The Myron Bolitar books are particularly funny. Look at the cast of characters, aside from the wise cracking Myron; there's Windsor Lock-Horne III, the preppy, financial consultant ninja assassin; Esperanza, the bisexual talent agent and former member of the champion female tag wrestling team of Big Cyndi (who looks and dresses like a rhino in a spandex tutu) and Little Pocohantas. Even the villains are funny; the Ache brothers? Coben must have some fun writing those. On the other hand, his novels like Tell No One, Caught, Hold Tight and The Innocent are tautly plotted mystery thrillers and gripping page turners but scary? Naah
