I started reading David Baldacci's books after a family member gave me a copy of the Amos Decker's second outing, The Last Mile, about death row inmate, Melvin Mars. I was hooked immediately and have read many Baldacci works, but aside from the ‘Decker series, it is his early work that I find most intriguing and original.
Like The Simple Truth, this early Baldacci story keeps you guessing about characters you come to care about on the good side and disliking on the bad side. With plot twists aplenty, I had some sense of the main premise due to reading tons of thrillers, but only in a general way. 95% of the book was a complete mystery, and that is how it should be.
