A page turner with many twists and turns. Classic Baldacci. 

This is not my usual fare at all, but my dad recommended it and occasionally I feel the need to honor one of his recommendations. This was better than I anticipated. The mystery kept me guessing and I enjoyed the characters. Can't really ask for much more than that.

So many of David Baldacci’s other books are better. Since this is a series I am thinking I will try the second book but if you want an engrossing book try his Attlee Pine or John Puhler series instead.

3.5
fast-paced

I loved the characters. I can't wait to see what is in store for them in the next book in the series. My full review is on my blog: https://jacquesbooknook.blogspot.com/2013/12/split-second-by-david-baldacci.html

The number of times the main characters cheated death was thoroughly unbelievable but made for a rather enjoyable book.

I did not enjoy the story. Why do his female characters have to be Jack Reacher-ish. Olympic athletes, weight lifters etc.

Great book!!
