Imagine, Puller has to interview this beautiful blond woman working against weapons of mass destruction, intercepts her on her front walk after her work shift, flashes his cred pack, follows her to her kitchen and helps her put her groceries away handing her cans and stuff out of the grocery bag. While his partner with whom he shared a hotel room the previous night waits in the living room. Nothing happened. Nice.

I think I’m hooked on the John Puller books. He seems like a nice guy but he guns up front and back so I doubt i would go on a second date with a guy like him. t one-star general bedded him in Florida on vacay but she got her 2nd star n moved in the military musical chairs thing. And Puller thinks he knew she wasn’t the one so now it’s down to long-distance phone-calls and not even relationship really.

Puller’s a nice guy but he’s always armed to the teeth

Oh Puller’s also got a DoD analyst, an army first lieutenant woman in D.C., who was a family friend of the Reynolds family, now all deceased. I’m just saying, life’s a real Peyton Place out there.

Gosh, Puller’s love 💕 interest is chief of police in Drake, WVA, n she’s damned good at her job, he’s telling people. However, he’s got another woman in D.C. who’s a one-star general. Oh, there’s that nice army medical lab tech in Atlanta who’s a big ally of his too. u know, sometimes there are just too many fish in the sea. I’ll let u know which one he beds. I mean, he can take whomever he wants.

Very interesting n set in Drake, WVA, another little town all owned by a guy.

It’s amazing how the writer was able to write this series character so differently personalty-wise from the memory man Amos Decker or the 6:20 man Travis Devine.

What’s it gonna be; that Liana went really bad because George took advantage of her and screwed her royally when she merely went away to college at 18 and there was really nothing to get abused about?

Amos Decker is accidentally cold-casing it back in his old hometown.

Back in seedy, derelict Burlington . Why?! Did someone run out of writing prompts?

Right, folks, the hard truth is that almost all of the USA is like Baronville. Everyone thinks it’s only their area, that the grass is greener everywhere else. When I was in graduate school in Massachusetts we even had a contingent of people escaping California, who couldn’t really articulate why they had to leave but they were never going back.

Years ago, after some graduate school and some internship work there, I got the hell out of Massachusetts and now I remember why, unfortunately. I was probably better off with the memory problem, in the service of my peace of mind and soul.

Goodness me, I know I have a memory problem, but I didn’t realize exactly to what extent healthy people are expected to recall the details of the books they’ve read. Bc I’ve read 3 books of the list in chapter 7 and I couldn’t give u a single detail of any of them. I read the Ngaio Marsh one just a few weeks ago and I didn’t recall it being winter or there being a big storm outside, or anything else.

There’s a massive amount of police and other legal officer brutality depicted in Baldacci’s novels. Pistols, revolvers and shotguns are also de rigeur. Lots of murdered bodies all over the place.

It’s a bit less hairy than the first book in this series. Then i’ve decided Baldacci’s natural target reading audience is always adult males.
Lastly, life in the good ol’ USA ain’t a picnic that’s fir sure, as it’s displayed in these stories .
