"I think the reason I enjoy reading his books so much is because he writes entertaining mysteries without too much unnecessary stuff. I never feel tempted to skim pages to keep the story moving. This one was a great fast read." — Cheyenne (4 out of 5 stars)
"I think the reason I enjoy reading his books so much is because he writes entertaining mysteries without too much unnecessary stuff. I never feel tempted to skim pages to keep the story moving. This one was a great fast read."
“Equal parts Hitchcock and James Bond, it’s the perfect literary cocktail...One of Baldacci’s best.”
“The book is an excellent, groping, suspenseful, and exciting novel, with interesting characters with whom we can identify...The novel is easy to read.”
“Ron McLarty comfortably handles the diverse accents and speech rhythms required to establish identifiable characters of both genders…McLarty’s command of pace and clarity of delivery allow the listener to navigate the challenges of following two separate investigations while also untangling the pathology of a war criminal and terrorist. McLarty’s subtle emotional intensity is particularly compelling as he presents horrifying scenes without theatrics…[A] satisfying audio experience.”
“This is a very clever novel, and full marks go to Baldacci for pulling off an especially difficult type of story—one in which neither of the central characters knows entirely what’s going on, while the reader is omniscient. It’s a lot of fun watching the two scope each other out, trying to determine whether the other is a threat (even as their mutual attraction grows). We become intensely involved in the story, wishing we could step inside the book and clue its two protagonists into what’s going on. The only problem—for fans of Shaw, anyway—is that, in Reggie, Baldacci has created such an interesting and engaging character that he might have made Shaw redundant.”

" Good but not his best. Weak ending. "
" I liked this better than The Whole Truth. Looking forward to another Shaw novel "
" So far a very entertaining book. Like the idea of an agency that exists to wipe out mass murderers. "
" I enjoyed The Whole Truth more than this. Deliver was a good read, but pretty predictible. "
" The title said it all and I wasn't in the mood for that much evil. I skipped the middle and went straight to the end to see who lived and who died. "
" Lots of graphic violence, not my favorite. Don't think I like this Shaw (from The Whole Truth, which I didn't care for and didn't finish) character as much as Baldacci's other story lines. "
" Great book! I love the twists and turns and am looking forward to the conclusion as we have reached the climax of the story! "
" I've read better books by this author but do enjoy Shaw's character. Maybe it's time to give Baldacci a break. This book was passed to me on a recommendation. "
" This was a spellbinding book as an audio book. "
" The last two Baldacci books have not kept my interest. This book was very predictable and not suspense filled (as his previous writings are). I think he is writing to many books to fast!!! "
" Typical Baldacci. Action packed and on the edge of your seat. Fun read. "
" Loved the ebook extras, inside the office and the process of putting a book together. A peek inside the mind of a killer, very chilling. "
" Shaw makes a comeback... Pretty much on the usual lines... "
" Baldacci is a master of the mystery. He weaves us through intrigue and mayhem with always a stunning conclusion. "
" Way over the top in gratuitous violence?...don't know why I finished it "
" Typical Baldacci thriller. His detail about the Evil was a little too vivid at times. "
" Shaw chases a bad guy and finds that another group is chasing this former Nazi. Double the danger as these groups join forces to pursue this deadly enemy. "
" This was an easy read. Good for the bus. I didn't like the ending but it was still pretty suspenseful. "
" I couldn't put it down even if it was a bit disturbing. Quite the thriller but I preferred The Whole Truth. I'll still be looking for the next book on the series. I can't get enough Baldacci. "
" I have read and am familiar with the works of David Baldacci, but I found myself struggling to get through Deliver Us From Evil, and was disappointed in this book. "
" Reading the other reviews, maybe I did a good thing by making tis one of my first Baldaccis. I completely enjoyed it. If this books disappointed seasoned Baldacci fans, I can only wait to read the ones they actually enjoyed. "
" This was the second installment of "Shaw". The first I thought was really good, but the second was amazing. It goes into great depth with the main characters, which I love, and it sets up for a third book. Great read! "
" I'm a fan of the author and wasn't disappointed. "
" Strange combination of over descriptive passages of torture (couldn't read them) and the clothing choices of the main characters (who cares?). "
" Not the same as other Baldacci books I've read. Disappointing. "
" This was more like it. Much better than DB's last effort. Good mystery "
" Excellent story, heart racing, page turning until the end. "
" Good geo-political-military spy thriller. Could have been a future episode of "24"? or a mission on the game "Modern Warfare"? "
" Seriously suspenseful and awesome read. "
" Another good book. Lots of suspense, good characters. Sometimes a little over written, but the pace of the story makes you not care. "
" Great Book!!! I hope that Baldacci puts out another one in this series, as the first two have been excellent reads that have been hard to put down. "
" Good plot,but it kind of fizzled at the end, as in lots of build-up, ending didn't balance it out. "
" Not my favorite of his books but still fun to read. The plot was a bit hard to accept but setting that aside I read the book pretty quickly. "
" Not very good, too much description and the bad guy should have been dealt with in a more timely fashion. "
" I listen to David Baldacci's books on MP3 or CD. The narrator is awesome! "
" Another great Baldacci thriller. Feel free to skip the part where the terrorist is tortured. It's very graphic and you don't learn anything of importance to the plot. "
" Really good! Better even than book #1 in the series which doesn't often happen. "
" Don't think I'll be reading any more Baldacci. "
