"I recently finished listening to the audiobook version of David Baldacci's "Long Shadows" and was incredibly impressed. It is a thrilling, suspenseful story that kept me glued to my phone throughout. From the first few minutes, I could tell that this would be a book to remember. The plot is complex and layered, with several key characters whose stories are intertwined in ways I didn't expect. Plus, there's plenty of thrills and surprises keep you engaged. In terms of storytelling, Baldacci has crafted a unique and captivating tale. I never felt bored or lost; every scene was perfectly paced and relevant to the greater story arc. The characters are well-developed and believable, allowing readers (and listeners!) to easily relate to them throughout their journey. Even minor characters have interesting characteristics and backstories which add depth to the world Baldacci has created. The audio production quality is superb and added another layer of realism to the story's setting. With its masterfully written plot and great production you won't regret selecting it as your next audio adventure!"

Quotes

  • “Baldacci is to be congratulated on how he sets up the story, creates three-dimensional characters, and layers seemingly unrelated situations one on top of the other until the resolution becomes startlingly clear. Fans of Baldacci’s ‘memory man’ character will be highly satisfied with Long Shadows.”

    — New York Journal of Books
  • “The plot gets complex, with suspects galore. But the interpersonal dynamic between Decker and White is just as interesting as the solution to the murders…Fascinating main characters and a clever plot add up to an exciting read."
