Win

by Harlan Coben

It’s always slightly hard to get into a book when the main character is detestable. You cringe, you don’t want to read more, you put it down. But if you then find yourself still wanting to know what happens, it’s probably a pretty good mystery. Harlan Coben’s Win is this type of thriller. By the end, in addition to a good plot, I even found myself enjoying Windsor Horne Lockwood III (aka Win)’s words of wisdom and reflections on life. The audiobook, narrated by Steven Weber, is impressive, winning an Earphones Award from Audiofile magazine.
