Lazarus review – Strange, silly and embarrassingly compelling

I feel frankly exhausted just thinking about Harlan Coben’s work ethic. The American author somehow manages to publish a brand new airport thriller every single year. New TV adaptations of his work (on which he tends to serve as executive producer) crop up almost as frequently. He’s also just released a book written in collaboration with Reese Witherspoon. Knackering, right?

And somehow, amid all of this, he has found the time to co-create a brand new TV series, Prime Video’s Lazarus, alongside Danny Brocklehurst, the screenwriter who has headed up plenty of past Coben series. Has this man ever taken a holiday? Does he ever press snooze, or sit on the sofa scrolling on his phone? Or does he simply spend every hour of the day and night coming up with outlandish plot twists?
