    About this audiobook

    Ten years after the high-profile kidnapping of two young boys, only one returns home in Harlan Coben’s next gripping thriller.

    A decade ago, kidnappers grabbed two boys from wealthy families and demanded ransom, then went silent. No trace of the boys ever surfaced. For ten years their families have been left with nothing but painful memories and a quiet desperation for the day that has finally, miraculously arrived: Myron Bolitar and his friend Win believe they have located one of the boys, now a teenager. Where has he been for ten years, and what does he know about the day, more than half a life ago, when he was taken? And most critically: What can he tell Myron and Win about the fate of his missing friend? Drawing on his singular talent, Harlan Coben delivers an explosive and deeply moving thriller about friendship, family, and the meaning of home.

      LOVED the book! Great Narrator and the story kept me in suspense til the very end- and then some!!
    • 5/5
      I just love this book. I love the narrator. He does such a great job. This is well written and keeps you well entertained until the end. I look forward to watching the movie.
    • 5/5
      Characters were so believable. Book was quite suspenseful. Sad when it ended.
    • 4/5
      Loved the book. Scribd messed up and cut parts out/skipped, which sucks. I recommend using audiobooks or another listening app because this is the last Myron Bolitar installment and you don’t want to have it cut off.
    • 5/5
      This book had me sitting on the edge of my seat. Harlan Coben has done it again with another fantastic thriller. Highly recommended!
    • 5/5
      Excellent! Keeps you engaged to the end. Loved the characters.
    • 5/5
      I love the whole series. I really really wanted to see win bowled over by somebody. Hinting that ema might be his daughter at the very end of the series is just wrong. You need to follow through with something on that one dude. That would be amazing and totally understandable because she's super smart.
    • 5/5
      This is the story of a parent's worst nightmare. Two 6-year-old boys are taken from their home and never heard from again. At least, not for ten years. Rhys Baldwin and Patrick Moore disappear during a playdate at Rhys's house. Rhys happens to be a cousin of Win - Windsor Horne Lockwood III - who is Myron's partner. The story begins in Win's voice as he has traveled to London because he received an email saying one of the missing boys has been spotted. He sees the boy hanging out with male prostitutes under a bridge but doesn't approach because it is Patrick and not Rhys. He decides to keep watch in the hopes that Rhys will show up too. Before too much time Patrick is accosted by bully boys and Win is forced to intervene. He winds up killing the bully boys and Patrick runs away. This is when Win phones Myron for some help.Win has been missing for more than a year. His phone call finds Myron with his fiancee. But Myron drops everything to head to London to back up his friend. Together they extract Patrick from the clutches of a crime lord with ties to prostitution, hacking, and other stuff. But Patrick is swept up by his parents before Myron and Win can find out about Rhys.This leads them to begin investigating the crime again from the beginning and leads them to lots of questions about what happened. Aiding in the investigation are a variety of characters from earlier books in the series including Myron's nephew Mickey and his friend Ema. Myron and Win follow a twisted and twisting path to reach a conclusion that really surprised me. I have only read the first Myron Bolitar mystery and didn't know Win who turns out to be one scary dude with a unique sense of justice. I have read the YA books starring Mickey, Spoon, and Ema and was glad to see them again. This was a book I found impossible to put down. I loved the relationship between Myron and Win and their clever repartee. I also really enjoyed Myron's relationship with both Micky and with his aging parents. We say a man who isn't afraid to love which contrasts greatly with Win who doesn't really care for very many people but will fight to the death for those he does care about.This was a great mystery and makes me want to go back and read all the Myron Bolitar mysteries that I haven't yet read.
    • 5/5
      I would have to say that this is definitely my favorite Myron Bolitar book. I loved how it switched from Win's voice to Myron's voice throughout. The ending was very fast-paced and quite a surprise for me. Now that I have finished all the books, I am looking forward to reading the whole series again. There is a lot of wit and humor in Coben's books and I think another reading is wholly justified in order to make sure not to miss any important innuendos. I would highly recommend this series if you like mystery books that make you chuckle.
    • 3/5
      Best thing about a Harlan Coben book is he picks a great narrator in Steven Weber.
    • 5/5
      Very good plot with numerous twists and turns which kept interest.
    • 5/5
      I thought I had figured it out three or four times before getting to the end.
    • 3/5
      I enjoyed listening to the book. Some of the plot was fairly unbelievable. I could accept it and go on trying to out guess the what really happen. It held my interest until the very end.
    • 4/5
      It was another great story. And the narrrator was fantastic
    • 5/5
      I love Myron and Win. This reads like the series finale. If so, it's the perfect send-off. If not, I'll happily read the next installment.
    • 5/5
      Don’t know how I missed this one when reading the rest of the series…but I did. Glad that I can rectify that blunder. The story tells of a 10 year old kidnapping involving Win's cousin's son. When Win gets a new lead he goes to London hoping to follow the clues and bring home the missing boy who is now a teenager. I really like these two characters and their zany and sometimes half-baked adventures. There is a good mystery for the guys to solve…there are a few laughs and chuckles for the readers. The “bromance” continues and a couple of new friends join the gang. Overall a real pleasure to spend some time with...as always.

      Ten years ago, two boys were kidnapped from wealthy families. For ten years, the families heard nothing. One day, Myron Bolitar believes he has found one of the boys.The story The story focuses on where the boy has been and what he knows about his still missing friend.
    • 4/5
      Ten years after two young boys were kidnapped, there is a lead that takes two very wise friends/men on a journey to rescue the boys, now 16 years old.This is a roller coaster ride. I read the book in one day. I will look for more of this author's books.Fast paced, very detailed, with twists and turns.
    • 5/5
      I just LOVE Myron and Win. HYSTERICAL dialog between them... Myron is such a smartass... great story- I had no clue.
    • 4/5
      This is actually a 4.5 Star read for me. I am a long time fan of the Myron Bolitar series and this one did not disappoint. I was a little worried at the beginning as it seemed that the book was going to be more about Win than anything else, but it soon became apparent that Win and Myron are a pair to be reckoned with. They work together helping and supporting in times of trouble. In this book when Win comes out of hiding to follow up on an email about his cousin's son who has been missing for 10 years, he calls in Myron to help him sort out the mess he is in as well as to help with the rescue. There is a lot of violence at the beginning of the book which might turn people off, but keep going, it changes into a taut thriller without the violence.

      The story is basically about the two boys who had been kidnapped 10 years earlier. It begins with Win getting an email that one of the boys has been spotted in a seedy area in London, he heads off to investigate. He spots Patrick being threatened by 3 rather large goons and ends up killing them all in order to save him. Patrick runs and Win calls Myron to come and help him salvage the rescue and locate Rhys. The story takes off from that point. When Myron rescues Patrick and brings him home, they still do not know where Rhys is. Why won't Patrick talk? Who sent the mysterious email? Where have the boys been for the last 10 years?

      I enjoyed seeing Myron's nephew, Mickey, in the book with his friends Ema and Spoon. They have their own series and it is very enjoyable so to see them in this story, helping Myron out. Big Cindy and Esperanza are also present and add another dimension to the story. The unshakeable friendship they all share is refreshing. Now if you think this book is all thriller/violent, think again. There are some social issues dealt with as well. Win ponders his lifestyle where in the past, he did not worry about hurting anyone. Esperenza and Big Cindy have to make a decision about their Little Pocahontas/Big Chief Mama gimmick in the wrestling world and there is an undercurrent regarding what a mother would do to protect her child.

      Overall this is a very enjoyable book by Harlan Coben. It would appeal to mystery, thriller and suspense readers. If you enjoy the Myron or Mickey Bolitar books, pick this one up. It is a hard one to put down. Thanks to the Penquin First To Read Program for the opportunity to read and review this book.

      Ten years after two 6-year old boys were kidnapped from their home, there is a lead on one of them. Myron and Win do everything they can to find the boys and bring them home.
    • 4/5
      Home. Harlan Coben. 2016. I read my first Myron Bolitar novel years ago when Betty Cork gave one to Jim when he was recovering from surgery, and I cannot imagine why I stopped reading them! This one is vintage. When a child who was kidnapped 10 years ago shows up, Myron and Win have to find out what happened to the second child who just happens to be the son of a cousin of Win. Myron still drinks Yoohoo, his parents still live in the same house, Big Cindi and Esperanza make an appearance. Witty with lots of plot twists. Read them in order if you can.
    • 5/5
      Even if you normally prefer character-driven novels, Harlan Coben's novels should be the exception. His are plot driven, but, oh, those stories! They're witty without being comedic and so smart you'll wonder how Coben thinks of these things. Best: the beginnings grab you from page 1, and the solutions to the mysteries are always a surprise.That describes all Coben's novels but his Myron Bolitar series in particular. And HOME is a return to this long-neglected series.Win's cousin's young son and his friend were kidnapped 10 years ago when they were 6 years old. One of the boys suddenly appears in London, England. Once again, Myron Bolitar and his best friend Win take on criminals, creeps, and normal people in extraordinary circumstances. And, again, every time you think you've figured them out, you haven't.My Coben novels are on a bookshelf alongside other "C" authors such as Cather, Cohen, and Cooper. But unlike those authors' books, ALL of Coben's books are there. He's never disappointed me.
    • 5/5
      Oh how I have missed my favourite smart ass!! I love the books with Myron and Win. Great story line; two six year old boys disappeared, 10 years later only one, Patrick has been rescued continents away by Myron after his best friend Win appealed to him. The other, slips through his fingers. Where have they been? Is the other boy Rhys still alive? Who sent the mysterious email to Win telling him of the boys' whereabouts? Is the found boy really Patrick?This thriller had great twists and turns in it. Things that we thought were important to the boys' mysterious kidnapping weren't. Myron, with some help, digs in with his usual charm to bring Rhys home and figure out what happened 10 years ago. This book definitely kept me guessing and I was not prepared for the outcome and the events after. And I am interested in seeing the development of the last reveal in the story. Fantastic storytelling once again Harlan Coben, you have been one of my favourite authors for so many years!!
    • 4/5
      Home is a slightly darker read than usual for Harlan Coben although it contains the dry humour and comic timing readers expect from this masterful writer. Coben’s best known for Myron Bolitar, former basket-ball great-turned sports agent-turned investigator: Myron’s down-to-earth family values and zany Jewish wit are in sharp contrast to those of his best friend Win, a millionaire WASP blue-blood psychopath. Win’s nephew and a friend were kidnapped a decade ago: Win and Myron find the friend and return him to his parents, but where is Win’s nephew? Something doesn’t add up. Together with the usual supporting cast of wrestlers Big Suzie and Esperanza, transvestite killer Zorra, and Myron’s hilarious family, the unlikely pair discover the truth. *****
    • 5/5
      This is an other great Myron Bolitar book. This one focuses on two young boys who were kidnapped when they were only 5. Myron gets involved with trying to recover them years later when a siting occurs in Europe. Like all of the Myron Bolitar novels, there is great suspense and humor. I highly recommend this book.
    • 5/5
      A well written book that will surprise you at the end. Hard to put down.
    • 3/5
      How do you rate a book that's fairly well written but based on a preposterous premise? I gave up and gave it three stars because I enjoyed having Myron and Wen back.
    • 4/5
      Two boys were kidnapped ten years ago. Myron and his friend, Win, are alerted to the boys sighting in Europe. The story unwinds as an attempt to bring the boys home is partially successful, leaving all to wonder what is the rest of the story. This is a story of lies, love, and protection.
