Book Description:
In a world of secrets, human genius is power.And sometimes it is simply deadly...A three-hour drive from Washington, D.C., two clandestine institutions face each other across a heavily guarded river. One is the world's most unusual laboratory, whose goals and funding are a mystery. The other is an elite CIA training camp shrouded in secrecy. Now a man and a woman are about to run a gauntlet between these two puzzle factories, straight into a furious struggle to exploit a potentially world-shattering discovery--and keep some other secrets underwraps forever...Former secret service agents turned private investigators Sean King and Michelle Maxwell have seen their lives splinter around them. Michelle lies unconscious ina hospital bed after a night of suicidal violence. And Sean is forced to take on a thankless investigation into the mutder of a scientist just inside the CIA's razor-wire fence near Williamsburg, Virginia.Soon he is uncovering layer after layer of disinformation that shields a stunning world filled with elite mathematics, physicists, war heroes, spies, and deadly field agents. Amid more murder, a seemingly autistic girl's extraordinary genius, and a powerful breakthrough in the realm of classified codes, Sean soon learns enough to put his life at risk. Now more than ever, he needs Michelle--at her best--to help stop a conspiracy of traitors operating in the shadow of the White House itself.From Michelle's courageous struggle to defeat her long-buried personal demons to a centuries-old secret that surfaces in the heat of action, SIMPLE GENIUS pulses with stunning, high-intensity suspense. The heroes ofSplit Second and Hour Game, David Baldacci's #1 New York Times bestsellers, are back--as you've never seen them before.

Classic Baldacci. Though the pace is not as breath-taking as some of his other books, this story is intriguing on several levels, and I have enjoyed it as much as and more than his other novels. It is Sean and Michelle again, this time in Tidewater Virginia. Plenty of adventure, some surprises along the way, and over all, just a good, fun read.

The story is extremely good. The characters are believable. It was hard to put down. The subject matter almost seems like it could even be true. It gives a scarey impression of what some people will do for what they claim is the "good of the nation or even national security".

Cathie R. (
Gaylene G. (There is a psychiatrist in this Sean King and Michelle Maxwell adventure. I enjoyed the psycho babble; you may or may not. Also, it had an unexpected ending. The story gave no hints to the unexpected ending and I did not like that but othewise I enjoyed the story.
Debbie B. (Very good story; tons of action and suspense, and many surprise twists.
Joyce O. (I like Baldacci and this one was good. Action packed and revealing much more of the main characters. A surprise awaits at the end.
Very interesting and complex characters. Keeps you guessing until the very end.
Janis K. ("Simple Genius" is not Baldacci's best work. The plot was solid, but lacked the terrific suspense that permeates some of his other works and the ending left too many unanswered questions.
