The narrative of Harlan Coben it is already well known, full of suspense, twists and humor. After a hiatus, the author decided to re-write the adventures of Myron Bolitar and presents Come back home, a work with its ups and downs.

One of the big differences of the plot is to be focused on Win. Rhys, relative of Win, and Patrick were kidnapped when they were just 6 years old. 10 years later, Win believes he has found Patrick and, with Myron's help, devises a plan to take him home. However, Rhys is still missing and the two still need to find out where Patrick has been all this time and some details that don't fit the story.

"Even the most indigestible truth is preferable to the most palatable of lies"

Certainly, seeing Win narrating the work is very interesting. Anyone who follows Myron's adventures already knows that Win is a brute with a huge heart, but knowing his point of view about such a delicate situation, we have a new view of the character. The premise is practically appealing and so engaging, after all, who will not be moved by mothers who lost their children so early and do not even have a conclusion about the case.

It is also the most stationary. Even with Coben's engaging and informal narrative, which always manages to arrest the reader, the plot unfolds satisfactorily, but leaving the impression of wrapping for a time in something that the reader already knew would happen. Only when it gets close to the end, about 50 pages remaining, does the story really advance.

And then, it goes into a frenetic pace and presents such a surprising outcome that it compensates for any slower moment previously. Coben manages to impress with the turnaround it presents and delivers a final that will stay in the minds of readers for a long time.

In Come back home, Harlan Coben delivers yet another exciting and fun adventure from Myron Bolitar, with a surprising ending and a delightful focus on Win.
