Review: The Match - Harlan Coben

Review: The Match - Book #2 Wilde Series - Harlan Coben - March 2022

I have always been a fan of Harlan Coben's books and though I haven't read Book #1 which now I do as it sounds interesting; I was able to read Book #2 and understand it. In The Match, we meet Wilde who was found in the woods as a young boy and taken under the wing of Hester and Ira Crimstein after he became good friends with her son David. Reading this book, I was trying to remember where I had read about Hester and then I clicked, she is the lawyer friend of Myron Bolitar who had his series by Harlan Coben and often Hester featured in the series. In Book #2 of the Wilde series - It's a Match. Wilde has put his DNA on a site to try and see if it will lead him to any clues about who he is and why he was left abandoned in the forest. It leads him to a potential father - Dan Carter. Things though are a bit sketchy as one minute Dan is there and the next, he has disappeared from the face of the earth and all these law enforcement parties are involved. This is storyline #1 as Wilde decides to dig around some more for his family. He also discovers that he has a cousin called PB on another site and it looks like this one might have just committed suicide due to online bullying. Are Wilde's matches dead ends or will they lead him down a rabbit hole? The second storyline that runs through The Match is a vigilante group known as Boomerang, this group sets to take the nasty trolls of the world down a notch or two but what happens when someone starts taking justice into their own hands and the people on their list starts turning up dead. Find out in another action-packed release by Harlan Coben aka "The Match".
