In Win, Harlan Coben’s latest novel, Windsor Horne Lockwood, III (a/k/a “Win”) a supporting character from other novels is spun off into a novel of his own. Win, who poses as a conceited and selfish rich man, sets out to solve a murder and an art heist that involved his own rich family. There are multiple plots that become elaborate with misdirection, surprise, and coincidence, but everything gets tied up by the end. The plotting is good and there’s plenty of action, which makes it a page turner. I thought a few of the features in the plot were too improbable, but ignoring that, this is a good novel for readers who like plot and characters who are not what they appear to be.
