Twists and turns and turns and twists. Just when you think you've got some tiny part of the puzzle figured out, Baldacci throws a curve at you and you realize you have no clue! The 6:20 man, Travis Devine is a charming and lethal a perfect combination in this all to prescient story.
Due to be published in May of 2025 and I hope people give it a chance. A prescient plot line of the pitfalls of advertising in this day and age, with big box stores and business, and a bit of a mystery to solve all rolled into one easily read novel. This would be fine as a stand alone or great as the beginning of a mystery series. Our protagonist Lydia is a complex character who feels real and her sidekick, Paul, provides charm, good looks, and sarcasm aplenty. I really enjoyed this.
I CANT' BELIEVE WILL DEAN ENDED THIS BOOK THE WAY IN WHICH HE DID!!!! I gasped out loud and then called Mr. Dean a lengthy list of un-ladylike words! I will say it again and again, Tuva is one of the most original and best protagonists EVER. Bad Apples is a psychotic David Lynch/M. Night Shyamalan hybrid that you won't be able to put down. Once you start reading you will be sucked into the vortex created by Dean and you have to surrender to it. I need to get #5 in this series, ASAP!
