My only other experience of David Baldacci was the rather unfunny seasonal comedy "The Christmas Train". Given how successful David Baldacci is, I figured that I probably hadn't seen him at his best and decided to give one of his mysteries a try. "Split Second" is a tense, page-turning, puzzle-sol...

My online reading group plans to read the second book in this series in July. Since I do not like to read a series out of order, I decided to read this in preparation. Once I started the book, it seemed somewhat familiar but I was unable to decide if it was because I had already read the book or i...

I have completely forgotten to review this book. Read it this summer thought it was ok, nothing really special. The two main character felt a bit boring to be honest it was nothing like reading about Patrick and Angie by Dennis Lehane. I will perhaps read the rest of the series if I run out of books...

Eight years apart one presidential candidate is murdered and another is kidnapped. Both had been protected by the secret service. The agents protecting them had their lives turned upside down with their inability to protect. Other than that how were they connected?I found the book to be very fast pa...

I love TNT's crime shows and wanted to read this book before the new 'King & Maxwell' series starts. Though I was rather bored by the ending, I enjoyed the book overall. Scott Brick performs the audio, and I always enjoy his narration. I'll continue the series, but I think I'll pick up the audio ...
