Combo of FBI Atlee Pine and Army CID Puller exceptional! Love all of Baldacci’s novels!
Not one of his best
Like every other book Baldacci has written it was GREAT
I so enjoyed this book that I had to go back and read the previous books. Although I would highly recommend reading them in order, the series is definitely a good one.
David Baldacci is an awesome author. Every one of his books is an adventure!
I enjoy this series. I think I’ve read all the Atlee Pine books.
Book was not what I expected from this author.
One of the few of Baldacci’s that I Didn’t like the ending.
Thought I was going to read a novel. Way dissapointing
Ad with all his books, I enjoy his characters and plots
Great story.
Good read.
The next installment in the search for Mercy. Atlee believes that Mercy may be alive but gets sidetracked again in her search for the truth. Lots of twists and a great crossover with Puller. Definitely worth reading, but I think the author needs to wrap up the “long road to Mercy by the end of the next book.
Baldacci never fails
HIS WEAKEST TO Date
Baldacci never fails to entertain. Love this author!
I have enjoyed the series and its premise: a truly fit and talented female protagonist motivated by a childhood tragedy from which she is still seeking fuller knowledge and resolution. Awaiting with some anticipation the final book that provides – possibly – healing and redemption for Atlee and her sister, although that may not be emotionally possible given the severity of the circumstances of the childhood tragedy.
In the next installment of Baldacci’s newest series involving FBI Special Agent Atlee Pine, he mixes his John Puller series to propagate Daylight. In a crossover of novels that Baldacci has been spurning since his previous release of the Memory Man series and Will Robie series, this one takes a markedly less different path and puts two headstrong protagonists on a collision course for the truth. Spanning characters from both lineages of novels, Baldacci gives another thrilling segment that he is accustomed to writing. While Baldacci’s writing is continually consistent and superb for the former lawyer turned writer, the storylines may appear droll and drawn out comparatively to his previous works. If you are a fan of Baldacci, whether new or from the beginning (Absolute Power, The Winner), this book will keep you entertained, regardless. It is recommended to read, for familiarity, the previous novels by Baldacci for the Puller and Pine series before reading this one.
