"Home" is Harlan Coben's latest Myron Bolitar/Windsor Lockwood novel and boy was it worth waiting for. If you have never read this series, this is not a bad one to start with as there is enough back story and characterization to make new readers comfortable. Longtime readers of this series remember that the series seemed doomed after the last installment as Win and Myron seemed to drift apart and Coben began focusing on Mickey Bolitar, Myron's nephew, in a new young adult series. But after much too long a wait, "Home" appears and all is right again in my literary world.Ten years ago, two six year old boys from wealthy families were apparently kidnapped and subsequently, disappeared from the grid. One of the boys, Rhys Baldwin, was the son of Win's cousin, Brooke, and Win has never stopped looking. Thanks to an anonymous tip, he has tracked one of the boys, Patrick Moore, to a sleazy pickup area of London. When his rescue attempt goes awry, he calls his best friend who he has not talked to in a year, Myron Bolitar, and enlists his aid immediately. There is palpable emotional drama when the two estranged friends reconnect and decide to refocus on the case with Win operating in London and Myron going back to where it all began.A wonderfully entertaining mystery ensues highlighted by eternal themes of family drama, commitment, and secrets coupled with the limits of personal friendships and familial devotion. As always, at its core, "Home" is a reflection of the deeply satisfying yet constantly evolving friendship between two of the most interesting characters, Win and Myron, in modern thriller literature. There are appearances by Micket, ema, and Spoon from Coben's young adult series and other former characters make solid appearances.As our heroes begin zoning in on the truth in their search, family secrets are laid bare and questions of familial loyalty and truthfulness emerge leading to a satisfying, if not unanticipated, surprise reveal. This Bolitar/Lockwood novel reads more like an engaging mystery than the more familiar suspense/thriller but I admit to being caught off guard by the opening chapter as the point-of-view of the protagonist was not what I expected. Indeed, there are chapters which sometimes alternate POV between Myron and Win."Home" is a highly recommended read for loyal Coben readers as well as for first timers. I hope this effort spurs Coben to continue this exciting and rewarding series.
