The 6:20 Man is a heart-racing thriller set in the world of high finance in New York, from the number one bestselling author David Baldacci. Remarkable concept and impeccable execution from start to the end. Every single page gives a full-throttle effect. The story moved marvellously. I finished the book overnight.

From the moment that I’ve seen that cover and read the description, I knew I must read this book.

The whole premise of an ex-military man changing his life for a financial adviser is really interesting. As I did not know how these two different fields can join the interest of the same person, I was intrigued by how the author will flesh out the main character.

I loved how he interweaved the past and present of Travis. He really grew out on me throughout the story. From being presented as a normal working character that has big dreams and just lives a life somewhere in between his past and his future, this was interesting to see how it will evolve and if he will ever reach his goals.

There's nothing so simple in life, and Travis has to find a way out from this web of greediness and political groups that will step on dead bodies to get away with their plan.

The author has done an amazing job of depicting all these suspenseful scenes.

I honestly didn't know who to believe and where this story is taking me in the end. So many unexpected twists and trials.

Addictive and suspenseful, The 6:20 Man is an unmissable read!

NetGalley arc

A stunning return to form from the master of the tightly-plotted crime thriller.

Travis Devine is a man with a secret. One he is punishing himself to atone for. Working at an investment firm is his idea of hell, and when his colleague is found hanging in a storeroom, he is doubly frustrated when he receives an email with inside knowledge.

At the same time, his past catches up with him and he finds himself unpleasantly wriggling on someone else's hook, that someone forcing him to investigate the firm he is working at.

His only break from the nightmare is his daily brief glimpse of the beautiful woman using the pool of his boss' Palace when the 6:20 - his commuter train - has its daily pause.

A twisty, well-crafted novel with a super plot. I was hoping for one of his top novels, and this one delivers perfectly.

Wow, I loved the 6.20 Man, the newest thriller from David Baldacci. One my my most favourite authors is back with a bang. I really hope this isn't just a one off and is the start of a brand new series. I can see this book and the main character Travis Devine going far.

Travis Devine, a former Army Ranger, catches his usual 6.20 commuter train to Manhattan, where he works as an analyst at Cowl & Comely, a large investment firm. Then one morning he receives an e-mail saying "She is dead". Sara Ewes his former girlfriend and co-worker has been found dead in a storage room in his office building, Obviously the NYPD need to investigate him. he then receives an ominous visit, which unless he co-operates will reveal secrets about a chequered past, unless he investigates what's going on at Cowl & Comely.

We meet his colourful housemates and the very rich owner of Cowl & Comely through dangerous and exciting times. There are lots of clever plot twists which will keep you guessing until the very last second.

The super plot, detail and diverse characters and technology mean this book is right up to the minute. It would make a terrific movie or short tv series and I, for one, would want to be the first to watch it. Another winner for me. Well done Baldacci. Hope you're already on to Travis Devine book 2!!

Also a big thanks to Pan Macmillan and Netgalley for the opportunity to read an advance copy for an honest review.
