Order of Harlan Coben Books
Harlan Coben is an American author of mystery and thriller novels. He is a rather unique author in the sense that he focuses strongly on both standalone novels and a series of novels starring a recurring character. He writes the Myron Bolitar (for adults) and Mickey Bolitar series (for young adults). The American author’s novels are famous for their plot twists, and always keep you guessing. Not the type of book you want to start an hour before bedtime!
