Harlan Coben has risen to the top of bestseller lists worldwide, attracting voracious audiences for his peerless novels of domestic suspense as well as those featuring his fan-favorite sports agent, Myron Bolitar. Now in Live Wire, he offers a knock-your-socks-off novel that will electrify all his fans: Myron’s family takes center stage.
Myron Bolitar has always dreamed about the voluptuous femme fatale walking into his office and asking for help. The woman standing in his doorway has killer curves all right: She’s eight months pregnant, which kind of ruins the fantasy. Former tennis star Suzze T and her rock star husband, Lex, are both clients, and over the years Myron has negotiated his share of contracts for the power pair. But now Lex has disappeared and a very pregnant Suzze is in tears, fearing the online rumors questioning the baby’s paternity have driven away the man she swears is the child’s father.
For Myron, questions of fatherhood couldn’t hit closer to home, as his dad, Al, clings to life; the brother who abandoned them all those years ago is in trouble; and Myron’s teenage nephew needs an authority figure. Myron is soon forced to confront deep secrets in Suzze’s past; his family’s mortality—and before Live Wire is over, his own.

"This is the first Myron Bolitar book that I've read but it won't be the last. What I loved is that I could pick up the book right here and not be bogged down in the past even though this book was all about the past. When Myron starts looking into a bogus post on Facebook for one of his client he starts unraveling a spool of secrets going back nearly 20 years. It was voiced brilliantly and the only thing stopping me from making a library run to pick the earlier books is that I already have a library stack. Myron and Win have a fascinating relationship as he has with Esperanza and Big Cindy. It evokes a lot of strong feelings to watch this kind of friendship and it made me happy despite being sad." — Jodi (4 out of 5 stars)

“Coben has perfected the ability to keep numerous balls in the air, plot threads twisting at once, the readers knowing they will all converge at some point, the suspense lying in just how the author will manage it.”
" I really enjoyed this book and want to read more of the Myron Bolitar series. He's a tough guy but one with heart and a touch of humor. "
" I enjoyed this book much better than the previous two books in the series. Even though serious events happen, it felt like the earlier books. It does seems that Harlan is kind of wrapping up the story line, it felt like he could stop this series without anymore notice. I hope that is not the case. I know he started another storyline with Myron's nephew as a YA book. I may read those in the future. I do hope Harlan continues with Myron Bolitar though, and try to lighten it up some more. I know Harlan has the character growing older and dealing with life, but I do enjoy the more light-hearted version of Myron better. He and Win make a great team. "
" Love the Myron Bolitar series! "
" Awesome quick read! "
" If you love Coben's Myron Bolitar character and series, then this "finale" will not disappoint. What a great ending to a wonderful series. I'll miss the whole crew: Myron, Win, Esperanza, Big Cyndi, El-Al, etc. "
" I always enjoy these Myron Bolitar books. "
" entertaining read - keeps you guessing "
" One of the best mysteries that I have read in a very, very long time. "
" Great book! Not one of my favorites, but you can never go wrong with Myron and Win. Love their dynamic, the writing is witty, and it was good as always. "
" I love reading the Bolitar books even if Coben's stand alone novels don't thrill me. "
" I have read several books by Harlan Coben but never one featuring Myron Bolitar. I was surprised to see that this in the 10th one with him as the main character. It was a fun read with lots of action and some mystery. I will definitely look for more - glad there are nine more to read. "
" Exciting and fast paced as ever, Coben provides another solid piece of brain-candy. I really enjoyed revisiting these characters and meeting some new ones. Very fun. "
" Another great book where you didn't see that one coming... Kudos Harlan! "
" Another great Coben read! He always surprises me with his twists and turns. "
" last ?? (or at least the latest) in the Myron Bolitar series. Enjoyed, but seemed like it was written to wrap up the Myron series and start on the Mickey series. "
" I have read all ten of Coben's Myron Bolitar books and Live Wire is just as good as the previous nine! Love the characters, the twist and turns! Read this one in two days while on vacation! "
" Not as good as he usually does "
" This is another edge-of-the-seat novel featuring Myron Bolitar. See review of Shelter, by the same author. "
" I LOVE HARLAN COBEN!!!! "
" Fair who dunnit with a pretty obvious twist. "
" I would like to have given this 3.5 stars, but, I'll round up to 4. i liked this one slightly better than others in the Myron series (though I am a big, overall, fan of the series). Still some loose ends to tie up, so it makes me think Harlen Coben is not done with this series just yet. "
" Who dunnit/ mystery. Not too bad. "
" I am listening to this book with earphones (mp3 player) while I walk on the treadmill. "
" This is true Harlen Coben. All the words, paragraphs and sentences lead to the final ending. Short enough to read in a couple of days. It's always refreshing to see the dark and mysterious Win in his rich-kid role and in his dark-avenger role. Myron is the mediator as usual. "
" I love this series! His books are always good. "
" I always enjoy the Myron Bolitar series. This one has many twists and turns and introduces a nephew. Coban is beginning a series about this character that is geared toward the younger generation. "
" Didn't disappoint! Love this author and his Myron Bolitar/Win series. "
" Excellent as usual. How does he do it? Every time I read one of his books I always think that this time it won't be as good, but it always is. Fabulous. "
" Always a good light read. Love the characters, good twist in the tale. Great travel book. "
" 3.5 stars: Typical Myron Bolitar book - quick read, good story line, characters a bit far-fetched but also showing some depth, with some darker plot twists. "
" I really liked this book, but am left wondering if this is the end of Myron Bolitar?????? "
" Coben maintains his snap with Winsdor Horne Lockwood III and his crackle with Esperanza, but this story’s ending produces a pop, which places this novel amongst Coben's best. "
" Love Harlan Coben books. This series is fun too since you care about Myron and his friends. This book has some nice humor too, in middle of the grit, and current things like checking people out on Facebook, which is fun to read. "
