Film critic Peter Travers shares his review of 'Harlan Coben’s Shelter,' which arrived in theaters on Aug. 18.
Scene from Harlan Coben’s Shelter on Prime Video.Harlan Coben is an indisputable master of crime fiction. His global reputation for creating bestselling suspense thrillers is so great that the latest of his 34 novels to be transferred to the screen, including "Tell No One" and "Safe," bears his name in the title, "Harlan Coben's Shelter."
Charlotte is "a lot funnier than I am, and she gets younger people better," says Coben, adding it's cool to have her in the writers room "screaming at each other in a creative way." Solid move since the series' focus is 15-year-old Mickey Bolitar , a sophomore -- dad is dead, mom is in rehab -- who returns after a long absence to his New Jersey town and its dark secrets.
In his place is Shira Bolitar , Myron's sister, a type-A prosecutor awkwardly trying be a protective aunt. It helps that her ex-boyfriend is the police chief, a fact complicated by her long-closeted feelings for the chief's wife . When even a friendly teacher stalls him, Mickey forms a detective squad with two fellow misfits, super-nerd Spoon and goth girl Ema , who gets gender-neutrally cast in the title role in the school musical, "Phantom of the Opera," the songs from which everyone on this theater-geek campus seems to know. Go figure.
