A review by jsanders05
Walk the Wire by David Baldacci
2.0
Cliches up the wazoo. Every single fricking person is good-looking. Every man is the size of a mountain with salt n' pepper hair. All the women are skinny, sexy, and would make Lara Croft jealous. The outcome was pretty predictable, and I picked-up on a lot of the clues. All that said, the book is very well written. I chuckled a couple times.
I did feel a 'tad' bit lost here and there because this book is #6 in a series, and I read it as a stand-alone. It works fine by itself, but I didn't feel too satisfied with character development, and I have a couple questions on the relationships with a few characters. (Which probably wouldn't be there if I started the series from the top.) A lot of the plot seemed a little 'too good to be true' and I wish someone else other than Decker got some of the 'Ahah!' moments.
I'll read another David Baldacci if the opportunity shows itself. I probably won't specifically be seeking him out unless one of his other books fits a reading challenge prompt or something.
In 2021 I used this book for the "Legal Profession' prompt for the 52 Book Club.
