Long Shadows by David Baldacci

Long Shadows by David Baldacci--438 pages

#7 in the Amos Decker series.  Absolutely phenomenal.  Amos shows his softer side and takes on a new partner.  This is my favorite series by Mr. Baldacci.

6:20 Man, by David Baldacci

 6:20 Man by David Baldacci--417 pages

A standalone by Mr. Baldacci.  An ex marine turned wall street wannabe.  His life is very mundane..rides the same commuter train..the 6:20.  When murders start happening at work he goes undercover to try to solve them.  Then he sees something on his train ride that might tie in with the murders.  It was a good read and I enjoyed it.  

Dream Town by David Baldacci

Dream Town by David Baldacci, 420 pages

3rd in Aloysius Archer series.  Mr. Archer is an ex-convict turned private eye.  His instincts are very good and the plots are interesting.  The series has gotten better as Mr. Baldacci has developed the characters.  I enjoy reading them as they are one of the lighter series from Mr. Baldacci.

A Minute To Midnight by David Baldacci-418 pages

This is the second installment in the Atlee Pine series.  She is one super tough FBI agent.   While in her old hometown, some horrific murders take place.  She is there with her assistant Carol to try to solve her own family mystery from 30 years ago when she was only six.  She makes some startling discoveries about the parents that she thought she knew.  I HIGHLY recommend any and all of his books.  I cannot wait for the next one.

First Family by David Baldacci

First Family by David Baldacci
(King & Maxwell #4)
464 pages / 14 hrs, 35 mins

"A daring kidnapping turns a children's birthday party at Camp David, the presidential retreat, into a national security nightmare.

"Former Secret Service agents turned private investigators, Sean King and Michelle Maxwell don't want to get involved.  But years ago Sean King saved the First Lady's husband, then a senator, from political disaster.  Now the president's wife presses Sean and Michelle into a desperate search to rescue a kidnapped child.  With Michelle still battling her own demons, the two are pushed to the limit, with forces aligned on all sides against them--and the line between friend and foe impossible to define...or defend."  (from the publisher)

The reviews for this one are all over the place.  One complaint is that the plot is unbelievable, however, with the recent explosion of sexual harassment allegations against our government officials it may be more believable in 2017 than it was in 2009.  While it may not be Baldacci's best work, I found it entertaining.
