#24

Book #24 was Harlan Coben's Promise Me ~ part of the Myron Bolitar series.  I know I've said this before, but I really like how Coben lets time pass for his characters as well as the reader.  He doesn't pick up the series with the next week or month.  Things have happened in their lives that the reader only gets glimpses of.  For me, this makes the characters more real.  Sometimes we don't see people for a while and we really don't know all that they have been through ~ I appreciate that with Coben's series.

Myron questions his actions in this story, as I think we all question our actions and contemplate our path in life.  Another enjoyable story.
