and I’ve enjoyed many of his books. But this one was full of clichés and definitely not up to his best standards. I’d try another DB before this one. The plot is ok though slow moving. If the book length were halved it would be better.

for me anyway! I tend not to be as critical and just enjoy reading for the relaxation and excitement which Baldacci provides!

This was a good one for Baldacci. I like the protagonist John Puller and will read the other ones in the series. Subject concerns slave trafficking into the US via the south coast of panhandle Florida

The Forgotten. Great book and love John Puller

Page turner

Not the first of his books I’ve read (I’ve lost count) but probably the one that has kept me glued to page after page, not wanting to stop reading. Great characters as always, interesting and complex, but genuine and relatable. The story line SHOULD sicken every reader, and will hopefully impact awareness and action against human trafficking that is still present, profitable and evil. It’s a story that needs to be told; perhaps knowledge will prove to be a powerful incentive towards change. Thank you for sharing it through the actions of your usual strong characters and exciting storytelling skills. As always I remain a major enduring fan!

Paradise Florida. Not really as nice as the name implies. Army Special Agent Puller is there to visit his Aunt who raised him for a long time as a child. Unfortunately when he arrives to visit her she is dead. As the clues begin to mount he knows she was murdered. A crooked cop is the culprit. Non stop action, suspense and intrigue. Another excellent read in this series!! My highest recommendation!! Enjoyed immensely!!

A thriller with heart from the first sentence to the last

Perfect mystery with all the attendant characters and surprises; plus, good military language as well as battle execution! Highly recommend.

Greta read!
