Oh, gosh, I’ve read all the books but can’t remember the details about Brad. I think I do recall some kind of funeral for him. If you find the answer, please let me know!

I just finished reading the 11th book of the Myron Bollitar series. I’m confused. In the 10th book live wire in the end we find out that Brad, Myrons brother, died. They have a burial for him and everything. But in the 11th book, Home, Brad the brother is alive. Did I miss something?

I love Myron and Win…especially win:) Live wire was one of my favorites, but was anyone else bothered by this ‘shift In their relationship’ at the end? I couldn’t decide if it meant there would be distance between them now and it made me sad…

Yep, I remember that. Harlan Coben is a plotter and, as befits one, he must have known that he’d need a storyline that changed the map of Myron’a universe forever. He kept Brad in reserve, it seems, for this purpose. I’ve put off reading this one for ages and I even read Shelter last year. The Myron and Win relationship is difficult to age as so much of their adventure is based on them not having humdrum responsibilities which could impede their crime fighting ways and Win’s superhero status. Perhaps giving Win a breather and putting Myron in the position of Mickey’s guardian was the best way to mature the characters and move on the storyline.
For us Bolitar addicts, we’ll still read the Mickey B books even if it’s aimed at “young adults” 🙂

I agree with you whole heartedly.

Myron is definitely not an only child. In an earlier book, Myron was thinking back to the time that his father took his brother and him to a ball game where a spectator decided to bully him and his brother. He was so proud of the way his father defended them.

In another book, Myron said that he moved into his the basement when his sister went off to college.

Supernatural is good. A little fantansy helps us live with the problems in life we cannot control.

I just finished reading the latest Myron book. A question: Was the mystery charity Brad and Kitty worked for ever explained? It seems the charity didn’t exist at the end.

Hi Daniella, I can’t remember if Coben ever said that Myron is an only child but I WAS surprised to discover he has a brother who’s never been mentioned.
