Drop Shot By Harlan Coben – Book Review #28
Drop Shot is the second book in the Myron Bolitar series by Harlan Coben and it’s every bit as good as the first 🙂
Drop Shot
Here’s the blurb from Goodreads:
The young woman was shot dead in cold blood, dropped outside the stadium, in front of a stand selling Moet for $7.50 a glass. Once her tennis career had skyrocketed. Now, at the height of the US Open, the headlines were being made by another young player from the wrong side of the tracks. When Myron Bolitar investigates the killing he uncovers a connection between the two players and a six-year-old murder at an exclusive club. Suddenly Myron is in over his head. And with a dirty US senator, a jealous mother and the mob all drawn into the case, he finds himself playing the most dangerous game of all
My Thoughts
I enjoyed the second book in the Myron Bolitar series a bit more than I did the first. It was set in the world of tennis and as that’s really the only sport I like, I found this story a bit more interesting than Deal Breaker.
Myron’s friend, Win, is fast becoming my favourite character. I laughed out loud at one part and had to read it out to my husband so he could share the laughing with me! I can’t put it here because of spoilers but I am looking forward to the next book and seeing what Win will do next!

This series is certainly sounding promising indeed #readwithme
This sounds like a novel I could get stuck into! I like that there seems to be an element of humour to it. #readwithme
This doesn’t look like the kind of book you laugh at – I’m intrigued to read it now!
#ReadWithMe
I think the second book in a series is often better than the first, as the author really gets to grips with the character. The blurb reminded me a bit of the true story of Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan.
