Quite enjoyable. Atlee is one tough woman who doesn’t need saving. Slightly less far fetched than #1, this was also jam-packed with contrivances.

Return to Form Somewhat
Review of the Audible Audio audiobook edition (2019)
After last year's fantastically unrealistic Long Road to Mercy, this 2nd entry in the Atlee Pine series returns to somewhat more conventional thriller themes. Conventional for Baldacci at least: incredible coincidences abound and at one point a character says something like: "what you've experienced in the last 24 hours wouldn't happen to most people in an entire lifetime." That's an understatement. Still, this was a reasonable thriller with some unexpected twists.
The narrations by Brittany Pressley (all female voices) and Kyf Brewer (all male voices) were excellent throughout. Brewer raised my suspicions with his Christian Bale-like "I'm Batman!" rasp for one of the FBI agents, but it was just a way to expand his voice cast.
Trivia
An Estonian is featured somewhat in the book (can't say more without a spoiler). No particular Estonian research was involved, but the name was realistic at least: Hanna Rebane.

I thought it was an interesting story. This is a part of a series where Atlee Pine is looking for her sister Mercy. Pine goes to Andersonville, GA where her sister disappeared and Atlee was nearly killed. 30 years after the fact to try and find out what happened. During the trip she gets caught up in finding a serial killer. Pine finds a lot of family secrets along the way.
