Loves to read,

One of those books both men and women can enjoy. Detailed enough, not overwrought with minutia, a fast paced challenging plot. What more could you ask for a good read?

The book sleeve says: "When is a serial killer not a serial killer? When are the hands on a clock not the hands on a clock? When you play the ... Hour Game."

"A woman is found murdered in the woods with a special watch on her wrist-and what seemed a simple case soon escalates into a nightmare. The criminal methods of some of th emost infamous killers of all time are being replicated by a new predator who stalks and strikes victims with a cunning brilliance. No one can understand the murderer's motives or who the next victim will be."

For those of you who enjoy a complicated serial murder mystery...enjoy!

This book was SO captivating. I could not put it down, and read the entire thing in one day...

Another good Baldacci book. Sean King and Michelle Maxwell are drawn into a case involving a serial killer who sets the victim's watch to the time of the murder. In tracking down the suspect, they find own lives in danger.

I love reading Baldacci and this book is no exception. I've read every one of his books in 24 hours.

incredible story - found a new author who is amazing

My father in law loved this book

This was a really good read...I had to read it the whole weekend. I didn't figure it out and I usually can. Some good twists and turns throughout and at the end too. Definitely recommend.

I thoroughly enjoy all of Baldacci's novels.

A woman is found murdered in the woods with a very special wathch of her wrist. A must read.

SCAREY

Exciting suspense that keeps the reader on his or her toes.

Good book- suspensful right to the end.

Another good book featuring John Corey as the main character.

Totally awesome. It kept me and my husband both guessing until the end!

A very good read.

All of Baldacci books are great

EXCELLENT BOOK!! HOLDS YOUR INTEREST FROM THE BEGINNING! IT'S A CAN'T PUT DOWN BOOK!!!!

I really loved this book! Reminded me of the years we lived in Italy. The discription of Aviano wasn't entirely accurate and some of the Italian traditions weren't either.

This is a hardcover novel someone may want to keep and reread later. If you like Baldacci's work you won't be disappointed with this book.

Great plot -- The fact it doesn't end as you would expect makes it enjoyable.

A woman is found murdered in the woods with a watch strapped to her wrist. A serial killer is on the loose and Secret Service Agents King and Maxwell are on to a frantic search. Book is from Zooba.

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. --Jane Adams
