Series ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Fade Away: A Myron Bolitar Novel
Harlan Coben · 2006
🎙 Narrated by Jonathan Marosz
57/100
👎 Skip It
The old-rivalry hook - Myron investigating the player whose career took the spot his own injury cost him - gives this real emotional stakes, and Coben balances humor with that hurt nicely. It's a solid, moderate entry rather than a standout, though, with little independently verified critical reception behind it; Jonathan Marosz's versatile narration is a fine, unfussy companion for the ride.
