Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

In this 4th adventure of Sean King and Michelle Maxwell, they work for the President again, or more precisely, for the First Lady. Not as Secret Service agents, what they both once used to be, but as private investigators. On a high profile and very sensible abduction case. Both, FBI and Secret Service are working his case, but the First Lady insists that King take a shot at it too.
However, this is not the only case at hand. At the same time some developments ask for Michelle's involvement and the investigation of one more crime.
The book is in typical Baldacci style: fast paced, thrilling and the reader is left wondering till the very end. Sure, some suspicions come up, but at no time are you, as the reader, sure whether your suspicions are correct or not. Also the roles of good and bad are not really so clear. Is the bad guy really so bad? Aren't the good guys possibly even worse?
There is not a real need to read the books in this series in order. Just a very thin sideline development would benefit from it, but that's not really important. Read the King/Maxwell series in any order you happen to come across it.
