review 1: This was a suspenseful thriller with a a little bit of politics thrown in. A tad on the long side, but the denouement was exciting and led to a satisfying ending. I'll definitely check out more by this author when I want something exciting to read. (I knocked one star off just...

review 1: I usually like Baldacci - but he needed an editor speaking truth to power on this one. Too many plot lines(the whole Earl Fontaine story was just sort of dropped in and added nothing - it was like he'd written a short story that he wanted to publish in the middle of a novel.) Im...

review 1: Very cool, one of a kind idea. 11 stories, 22 mystery/thriller authors. They paired them up and had their characters together in each story. So, for example, you had Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs by Jeffrey Deaver with Lucas Davenport by John Sandford. It was great! I was r...

review 1: I like Baldacci so when I was looking for an audio book for my drive back and forth to work, it was a no brainer! Once again I was drawn into the book, so much so, I found myself sitting in the driveway trying to get to a good stopping point. The audio version was done with sound...

review 1: Gripping stuff. What a pleasure to meet up with The Camel Club again. Despite being in his sixties Oliver Stone has not lost his touch in working out what is really going on in what appears to be a bank heist. As usual he is ably supported by the other members of the Club, but wi...

review 1: It is, of course, a Jack Reacher rip-off. I mean, it's so obviously a rip-off, that I looked for Lee Child on the acknowledgements page. That being said, it's a good Reacher clone. I mean, sure, there are plot holes if you look for them, and John Puller is just not as compell...

review 1: I am not a Baldacci fan but did enjoy some of his early efforts like "Absolute Power" plus a couple of the Camel Club novels. I have mixed feelings about this book. It has a number of interesting twists and a totally evil villain who I loved to hate. On the other hand, the cha...

review 1: Well, I finally finished the whole collection of The 39 Clues. At least, that's what I thought but now I find out that there is another sequel series, which I am less than enthusiastic about reading after finishing Day of Doom. Day of Doom wasn't horrible but it was far from grea...

review 1: This was a great book. The plot revolves around the need for national security. It was hard to discern the good guys from the bad guys--except that Sean King and Michelle Maxwell are th good guys. Edgar Roy--an alleged serial killer held in a secure, facility awaiting trial. H...

review 1: Too long. Great plot, but it took much too long to get moving and get resolved. My first Baldacci read and I'm not anticipating others. Very little complexity to his writing. Short sentences, short chapters, definitely directed toward the masses. Definitely a letdown for me as I ...

review 1: This is the first book I've read by this author. I have to admit, I got a little worried in the beginning when I realized this would be a book involving the government, military, etc. That type of book is not normally interesting to me. But this book, I have to say, I enjoyed ...

review 1: Another good read by DB and another problem to solve by the CC and OS in particular. My jury is out on the slightly extended ending and the use of Murder Mountain, which I always found a little thin, but I'm glad it was blown up. OS still making enemies but that head should have ...

review 1: My first experience with Baldacci’s work, No Time Left is a very short story that I am sure is aimed to shock and amaze the reader quickly and without remorse. Unfortunately, for me this was not the case. I knew what was going to happen to Becker before the midway point of the sh...

review 1: "One Summer" by David Baldacci is most definitely NOT Baldacci's normal fare (nor mine), but I haven't been quite so taken with a story in a very long time. Life happens. The good, the bad, and the ugly. People grieve, grow and learn and ,sometimes, find love again. This is a sto...
