Drop Shot

Drop Shot by Harlan Coben, 310 pages

This is the second book in the Myron Bolitar series. Up and coming tennis star Duane Richwood is Myron's featured client in this book.

While Myron is watching one of Duane's matches at the US Open when he hears a gunshot. He goes to investigate and discovers that Valerie Simpson has been killed. She was a star professional tennis player but had a breakdown. She had recently had meetings with Myron and may have been trying to make a comeback.

Duane is somehow connected with Valerie but Myron doesn't know how and Duane starts acting strange. As Myron tries to figure out who killed her events from six years are dredged up and might be connected.

I listened to this as an audiobook and the narration was as excellent as the first book. I would recommend this book to people who like humorous mysteries. The humor is dry and there are some hard boiled parts as well.
