In the tenth--and possible--final installment in the Myron Bolitar series, Live Wire, he returned with his friends and sports agency on his final case. It all started with one little lie that escalated from downhill from there. When pregnant tennis legend Suzze T. requested his help about a mysterious Facebook post. Myron took on his task and came across from danger. It lead him dealing with the mob, drug dealers, and possible connections to a rock band, including Suzze's husband Lex. He uncovered the backstory about a death at a concert years ago and a lead to his elusive sister-in-law Kitty with his long-lost nephew in tow. While he tried to settle family issues, he wanted to find out about what happened to his brother who haven't been seen since 15 years ago. He sorted through tons of lies to get to the heart of the truth, until it hit close to him and forced to dismantle his agency. Plenty of humorous quirks in Live Wire and continued with the Mickey Bolitar's spinoff series.
In this mystery, we could see how Myron cared for his family. That showed a loving side of him and that he had a good heart. We also could see how he worried about Win's latest moves. Although there's some humorous bits and pieces in here, this one touched on life and death in a gentle way. There was a bit of a focus of sports and music in this one. I loved the island scenes with the intricate settings. Another great easy and quick read to enjoy!

Drop Shot
In the second installment of the Myron Bolitor series, Drop Shot, sports agent, Myron Bolitar was at a tennis match, when he witnessed Valerie Sampson being shot down in cold blood. Little did he know, that she was going to go to him before her untimely death. Now, it was up to Myron to find out, who and why he shot her, along with uncovering some cold cases along the way. He dealt with a rival sports agency, death threats, and people lying to him, calling his bluff, while he wasn't deterred and determined to get to the truth, even if they came after him and his girlfriend Jessica Culver. If you love some humor into your mystery series, you'll enjoy Drop Shot.
This was a great mystery dealing with a sports focus. We do get to care about Myron, his associates, and his family. You'll be able to read this book in a day or two, since it's an easy read and fast-paced as well. There's some humorous books you'll be laughing and smiling about the good parts. I loved the setting of New Jersey/New York and some sports in Philly, like at the sports agency to paint a good picture of things.
Ready, set, match! Give this book a try tonight!
