Another gooder by one of my favs. Kept me guessing til the end.
Really really enjoyed this. Disguised as a typical crime thriller, it's actually extremely well written. Big on intensity and dynamic characters. I listened to the audiobook, which used different actors for the male and female roles. Highly recommend the audio if you can. I finished this and immediately reserved the second in the series from my local library.
This has been my Kindle bed time reading recently. I'm not at my most alert in the latter part of the evening, so fiction needs to be fast moving, understandable and engaging for me to remain engaged and enjoy the experience. This ticked all the boxes and had good twists and turns with an unexpected ending. Great!
Just too much of a perfect, macho-man main character. John Puller, god.
I usually like Baldacci but this was too testosterone laden for me.

Actually didn't see the total ending coming.
I originally rated this book hire, but I just think it is because it is so different from anything I've read in a while. I truly enjoy this authors Camel Club series, But this book just was not on the same level. John Polar, Is an army investigator, sent to West Virginia to investigate the murder of an army officer. He ends up in a very small coal Town and is helped out by the local chief of police with his investigation. This book was very good through the first half, then somewhere in the middle it just got all kinds of crazy, things happen, but I just can't imagine happening, especially if these are the only people trying to figure this all out. I will definitely read the next book in the series, I already have them, I enjoy this author, and the narration was absolutely spot on.
