Our view
“Drop Shot” is a twisty, well-built murder mystery and the second case for Harlan Coben’s Myron Bolitar. Some readers rate it above “Deal Breaker”, the first Bolitar novel, for twists that play fair and a finale that deepens its main characters. A good pick for readers who want crime fiction where plot and people matter equally.
