I cannot believe this book got published. I'm an avid reader, and especially enjoy a good mystery. I took this book to the beach expecting a good read -- boy, was I disappointed! The characters are superficial and unbelievable, the dialogue stilted, the chase scene and the two bullets colliding in mid-air at the end are completely ridiculous. To top it all off, the murders -- and there are plenty of them -- are just disgusting. I can take gore when there's a purpose, but the only purpose here was to make you sick.I get the feeling that Baldacci was just in a hurry to write this book and get it on the market. There is absolutely no development of characters, and the plot is ridiculous, convoluted, and laughable.I guess you can tell I didn't like it -- at all!
