What a great entry into the Amos Decker series. I love the way his character has developed and love that we are seeing a more 'human' side of Amos. A cameo appearance by Will Robie made it even better.
This book has good entertainment and I really enjoyed visitors from my favorite series- Will Robbie and Jessica Real.

Another solid David Baldacci product, but I liked the earlier Decker and Robbie books better. Also, while I appreciate the broader diversity of cast and his always wonderful portrayal of most of his women characters, I think I would’ve liked it more had I not read his other Decker or Robbie books.
I generally love this series (it's really impressive on audio!) but I don't know where this book came from. There was so much going on and I'm still not really sure how the plot points came together. The ways they did come together seemed so far fetched. I enjoyed listening to most of it but was quite disappointed at the end.

I was all set to give this five stars until the ending, which seemed a convoluted mishmash of tying up loose ends and wrapping things up too abruptly.
Readers seem to either like the Decker character or they don't. I like him so I'm a fan of the series. Jamison is a good foil, although she's not terribly charismatic. Just good at her job and she complements Decker well.
A fun twist enters about midway, which ramps the stakes up a few notches. As usual, Baldacci maintains excellent pacing and keeps the reader in suspense most of the way. He also does a decent job of portraying the barren landscape and harsh climate of the remotest part of North Dakota.
