Split Second
by David Baldacci
Split Second is a typical Baldacci first book in a series. It has interesting characters and excellent writing but the plot is a bit weak. I have seen this trend across his various books and this one is no exception.
As always, the lead characters are extraordinary individuals (secret agents in this case) who have had to deal with a personal/professional tragedy. This time around, it is the loss of the VIPs they were supposed to protect.
I loved the chemistry between the leads. And the reversal of roles too. The woman is the superior ass-kicker while the man is the superior analyst. They have differing views on life and this makes their interactions interesting.
The plot was weak though. There is this huge conspiracy and a complicated plot that is hinted at. In the end, the plot fizzles out. But, regardless, I still enjoyed the book because, you know, it's Baldacci.
