Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Plenty of intense action drives bestseller Baldacci’s stellar fourth novel to feature former Secret Service agents Michelle Maxwell and Sean King…Baldacci excels at making the improbable believable…Careful plotting and confidant depictions of national security procedures make this a thinking man’s thriller.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Ron McLarty is the perfect choice to present Baldacci’s latest thriller. His clear, strong voice shifts effortlessly among the story’s varying passages of sadness, anger, and irony. His facility with multiple characters of both genders and many ages, races, and regional accents enables the listener easily to keep track of everyone.” AudioFile
Plenty of action drives Baldacci's stellar fourth novel to feature Maxwell and King. Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Fightening...shocking...Sean and Michelle [are] surely one of the more interesting teams of private investigators...Baldacci is a more subtle writer now, able to tell stories of deep moral ambiguity and to create characters who balance on the line between hero and villain...It will be fascinating to watch where he takes these two heroes from here. Booklist
It's always a good thing when David Baldacci brings back former FBI agents King and Maxwell. New York Daily News
Mr. Baldacci's books are jigsaw puzzles of intersecting events, not simple whodunits. FIRST FAMILY is no exception. Washington Times
What Baldacci does best is provide thrills, chills, and suspense. This novel is a total surprise from beginning to end. Columbus Telegram
The story unfolds wonderfully. It's another top-flight thriller from this bestselling author, and it's good to see King and Maxwell again. Oklahoman
