I didn't realize this was part of a series until a few chapters in, when I realized that there were some things being discussed as if I should already know something. Fortunately (or maybe unfortunately), the plot and characters were easy enough to keep track of that this wasn't a problem. This is by no means a literary triumph, and there were parts where I was frustrated by Baldacci's feeble attempts at waxing poetic, but as far as formulaic private investigator stories go, it was completely adequate and a nice, easy, fast read. I totally enjoyed it and plan on reading the rest of the series...this time maybe from the beginning.

A good, quick read with a fairly interesting plot.

a beautiful story of a man of honour and his conflict with a ruthless woman. Enjoyed very much. Only thing is that the sideline story of the murder of Michelle's mother and solving the case is not at all needed for the otherwise crisp story. It should have been written as a separate novel.
