Each Decker book in the series gets dumber and dumber. I have no idea why I have read all them, and I wouldn't say I regret reading them, but they're not good. Occasionally the plots are interesting, and occasionally there are good character beats. But they're all very occasionally, and the language used in the book make the author sound like a teenager. 

Baldacci uses words two or three times in the same sentence. He relies hard on tropes and cliches. He has a strange fascination with patriotism and masculinity. And his character motivations, especially the antagonists, make next to zero sense.
