Search - Hour Game

Keeps you guessing! I can't wait to read the next one with these characters.

A fun, easy read with plenty of action.

Loved this book! One of my favorites. A gripping serial killer suspense novel.

Fast paced. Hard to put down. Suspense in spades! Good characterizations.

Lots of twists to this one. Really enjoyed it.

Excellent

Read it in two nights, it was great

Once I started reading this book I could not put it down. There is great character development, and the author makes you care about each and every one of them. Throughout the book, the characters are given more and more information (just like puzzle pieces), and just when they think they know the answer, a new twist develops. Definitely keeps you guessing throughout the story!

I really liked this book. I was completely enthralled and couldn't put it down.

Two disgraced former Secret Service officers team up to solve a series of copy-cat crimes in this exciting new thriller by a master of the game. Sean King was momentarily distracted when a presidential candidate he'd been guarding was assassinated a few feet from where he stood, and Michelle Maxwell left the Service under a similar cloud when she lost a "protectee" to an ingenious kidnapping scheme, events told in Baldacci's typical terse, fast-paced style in Split Second. Now partners in a private investigation firm in a small Virginia town, they're hired to investigate a burglary at the home of a wealthy local family. But even before the chief suspect in the break-in meets his death in a gruesome slaying reminiscent of a serial killer long since caught and punished, King and Maxwell get caught up in a string of other murders, each of which copies the techniques of another madman, from San Francisco's Zodiac Killer to Chicago's infamous John Wayne Gacy. While the two protagonists aren't especially complex or well-developed, the action never stops, and Baldacci's trademark pacing keeps the reader turning pages until the denouement, which unfortunately isn't quite as satisfying as the rest of the novel.
