cnorbury's review against another edition
4.0
Chugged along nicely until the end, when Baldacci threw in another inspired plot twist that makes him one of the best political thriller writers today. As usual, later books by bestselling authors I have read suffer from lack of strict editing, so many passages could have been drastically trimmed or cut altogether with no great loss to the overall story.
But Maxwell continues to grow on me, and the King/Maxwell relationship is unique. And now that Baldacci threw another twist in at the end, this one character-related, gives me great incentive to read the next book in the King & Maxwell series.

I didn't really love it. It was an okay book for me. I feel like if this was a movie or a TV series it would have been better. I think so mainly because the style is so similar for every book in the series that there was nothing refreshing or newness I could find in the book. But for someone who have not read any book in the series this might be great.

It didn't take me a year to read this, just a year to get around to updating Goodreads. It's an okay story. Like the characters more than I do the plot, which is a bit too far-fetched. Still a Baldacci fan, but this isn't in his top 10.
If you like the characters, you'll enjoy the book.

Good. Easy to read. Flows well. Not as good as some others by the author. Enjoyable but not great.
