Ugh, I couldn’t finish this one. Unbelievable protagonist and plot. I grew tired of the over-description of everything. When I start skimming paragraphs I know it’s time to move on.

It’s a pretty outrageous plot. But… Considering the events in 2019-20 and leading up to Jan 6, 2021, this plot has now become all too credible, and no less horrifying. If nothing else, it’s an object lesson in just how far off the rails…

Not a great read. It was a very slow starter. I almost gave up on it. TYhe main charater is depicted as a big amazon-type woman with no real life other than her job. Did not like that. The last 1/4 of the book was improbable, but…

Writing is good, but the plot is ridiculous.

David Baldacci is a writer who knows how to engage a reader. He writes vulnerable characters you genuinely like, involved in scenarios that don't…

OK but not among Baldacci's better novels. The plot improved ( very, very gradually) as one read. The last few chapters were much more interesting. Throughout, there is a lot of 'padding ' with superfluous detail. So annoying !

Lots of comments shows that the author is very popular. Lots of divergent comments show that this novel is not universally loved, or hated. To me, this was an enjoyable, page turning work of fiction, with a current backdrop of politics.…

Interesting characters but plot too much of a stretch and unbelievable that
the government agencies don't relate better.
Will try one more in the series.

David Baldacci has introduced us to a new character and a new series. Atlee Pine is an FBI agent working in Shattered Rock, Arizona in a one man office. She is a strong and tough lady as demonstrated throughout this book. Some of it was…

This is the first book in a new Baldacci series. I liked Atlee and her sidekick Ms.Blum. I also liked the Arizona setting. I have to admit I was more interested in the story about her missing twin than the Grand Canyon mystery. But that…
The author opens with FBI agent Atlee Pine interviewing a suspect deeply involved in a tragic who-dun-it from her past. On the heels of that conversation, she is then directed to investigate the stabbing of a mule at the bottom of the…

I. Loved. This. Book. Seriously, I didn't want to put it down. I will admit that the plot was a bit of a reach but that was okay with me. I really, really loved Atlee and Sam (and their burgeoning relationship) but I have to say that…

David did it again. I loved this book -- and it was scary in relation to our world today. 'Too close to home' are the words I'm looking for. Others have said it's too choppy - hard to read - hard to follow - obviously they don't live in…

Complicated story, some plot lines a bit far-fetched. I did enjoy the budding relationship between the two female protagonists, and I look forward to the next story with these two as the way this one ended there definitely will need to be…
