Review:
This is the first book of David Baldacci I have read. The story is good with all the plots and killings. The attributes of our detective heroes are well described and utilized to a great extent in the story. Sean king is a very brilliant person with a lot more qualities and he is the main person in the story. Though his partner Maxwell is equally good the author has not used her except for the action stuff. It is always King who has to figure out things mostly and Maxwell is always left in the dark but she is the one who gets to save her partner in most of the situations. The reasons for killing though I feel is not strong enough I kind of liked the way the author had presented it. The author has done a good work in the medical part when it comes to the autopsy. But the bad part is I kind of guessed the killer while I was halfway through the book. It wasn’t a shock to me but I didn’t have my reasons for my guess that time. The part of the book after the capture of the killer is exceptionally good. It was very interesting I should say. The murders of the killers were in a unique style as he mentioned. I liked the concept of “one tick off” very much. It was the greatest clue to the mystery. I hope to read more of Baldacci’s works.
Bottom line: The story is one tick off
