Rosebud with Gyles Brandreth · Rosebud in NYC - Harlan Coben · 19 Jun 2026 podcast

I was working one summer when I was in college.

I worked for my grandfather and my mother.

They needed somebody to be in Spain, the Costa del Sol of Spain, to handle the clients that were being sent there.

So I spent eight weeks there.

And it was a very strange experience because I think I was still in college.

I was like 19 or 20.

And I was much too young to handle this much responsibility and I was not very good at it.

And there's 50 like adult Americans, like my parents age would come in and I was supposed to take care of them.

And the experience is very strange.

And I said to myself,

I should write a book about this.

And one of the reasons you do it, and this is one of the problems with modern technology, there's, you know, what was I going to do when I'm in, I don't even, I didn't even speak Spanish.

I couldn't watch the TV.

I didn't really have any friends out there.

There's no electronics.

There's nothing to play with.

I read a ton of books.

There was a used bookshop.

I think I went through every book that they had there.

But I was like kind of bored and I bought a notebook one day and I wrote.
