Really enjoyed this book as have with most of this authors books. David baldacci is fast becoming a favourite of mine & I would highly recommend this book to anyone.

Baldacci creates really interesting and enjoyable characters,and what a surprise to find Robie and Reel cropping up in Amos Deckers story.The story moved along quickly with twists along the way and included some deep.poignant thinking from Decker. All added up to another great tale.

I would like to thank Netgalley and Pan Macmillan for an advance copy of Walk The Wire, the sixth novel to feature FBI consultant Amos Decker.

Decker and his partner, FBI agent Alex Jamison are sent to investigate the murder of Irene Cramer, whose body was found by a hunter near London, North Dakota. She appears to have been autopsied but that doesn’t explain the FBI presence. Decker and Jameson aren’t getting answers but there appears to be more to London than a simple oil fracking town.

I thoroughly enjoyed Walk The Wire which is an exhilarating romp through the Badlands. It held my attention from start to finish as I breathlessly followed a non stop plot and its many twists and turns. It is told exclusively from Decker’s point of view so the reader can dive right in and quickly get engrossed. There is no resemblance to reality but who cares when the bullets fly, the bodies mount up and Decker’s devious mind saves the day? It’s fun and highly entertaining.

Where to start? Well, apart from the murder and the local infighting and power struggles there are two separate conspiracy theories involving the military-industrial complex and the appearance of well recognised characters from other series. It’s all going on. I also learned far more about fracking than I ever wanted to know. The solution to the original murder, relegated to last place after all the other excitement, is clever and unexpected. Mr Baldacci must revel in conceiving his plots and he has outdone himself with this one.

I like Amos Decker. He has an amazing ability to see clearly in his investigations although all the outside noise slows him down in this novel. He has a couple of well documented mental issues due to a long ago concussion but they seem to be fading in emphasis as the series progresses and his character evolves.

Walk The Wire is a good read that I have no hesitation in recommending.

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher and of course the author. Amos Decker is back along with his side kick Alex Jamison. Fast paced thriller that had me hooked from the beginning.

Good exciting yarn with characters from previous stories allied together in a dark investigation into a murder that suddenly escalates into multiple murders. Secret weapons experiments hidden under a Air Force radar station, a typical American Amish type colony and fracking for oil and gas all contribute to a complex plot that races along with plenty of violent action to satisfy all. It all goes a bit over the top at the conclusion but a bit of sentimentality at the finish leaves the door open for more adventures!
