Long Shadows: From the Sunday Times number one bestselling author (Amos Decker series, 7)

Product Information

When they get there they find a complicated crime scene. The bodyguard, Draymont, was found downstairs shot to death while the judge was upstairs in her bedroom where she had been stabbed multiple times. To top things off, Draymont had a wad of foreign currency stuffed down his throat. For someone who writes these books with righteous people pursuing evil in the face of danger, Baldacci sneaks in some very modern sensibilities. First Amos receives a call that leaves him disturbed and profoundly sad. Then I realized Boggart, his boss has retired and Alex Jamison is assigned to a different city and partner.

Amos knows something doesn't add up. The judge was stabbed to death and the bodyguard was shot instead. Are there two killers? They are being sent to Florida to investigate the murder of a judge and her bodyguard. When they arrive, they find that the local agents were not briefed about their coming – which isn’t helpful. With all this in mind he is being sent to Florida and his usual partner in crime Alex Jamison has been transferred, he now has to deal with another partner Frederica White “aka Freddie” which means change which he hates. A thriller with bloody murders and plenty of suspects and featuring an unlikely partnership between two FBI investigators.

David Baldacci

Having been a fan of David Baldacci for many years, I am always excited when he publishes something new. The stories are always top-notch, with characters and plots that never fail to impress. Baldacci has the ability to write in so many styles that the reader need only show up and let the magic consume them. I can only hope that there is more to this series, as Baldacci left some loose ends that will soon need solving if things are to move forward.

David Baldacci has been writing since childhood, when his mother gave him a lined notebook in which to write down his stories. (Much later, when David thanked her for being the spark that ignited his writing career, she revealed that she’d given him the notebook to keep him quiet, "because every mom needs a break now and then.”) Review of the Grand Central Publishing audiobook edition (October 11, 2022) released simultaneously with the Grand Central Publishing hardcover. The writing is meticulous and crisp. The characters are multilayered, scarred, and reliable. And the plot is a sinister tale full of twists, turns, intrigue, action, greed, power, passion, corruption, obsession, duplicity, violence, and murder. The most richly accomplished of the brothers’ pairings to date—and given Connelly’s high standards, that’s saying a lot.

Find a Book

Another David Baldacci book that was a blast to read. It's Long Shadows and I received it from Pan Macmillan via Netgalley. It will be published on the 10th of November. Memory Man was a wonderful book with lots of twists and turns, so naturally I had to read the series. When Long Shadows was finally released, I bought the book immediately and couldn't wait to read it. Harry Bosch and the Lincoln Lawyer team up to exonerate a woman who’s already served five years for killing her ex-husband.
