Amos Decker is a mountain of a man - 6’5” and at one
time close to 300 lbs. Altho he has slimmed down a bit
he is truly imposing. His pro football career was brief
and ended dramatically. Due to a shocking collision on the field
Amos acquired a perfect memory - hyperthymesia - and some other
unusual abilities including synesthesia - pairing
developments with colors - when he sees electric blue
he senses the presence of dead bodies.
These attributes help to make him an uncanny investigator.
But he is the opposite of a smooth operator which the FBI
likes. Amos dresses in a casual almost slovenly way. He
is abrupt and disrespectful of authority. He doesn’t care
at all whether he fits in and the FBI, to whom he is a consultant,
would like to fire him. But how do you fire the investigator
with the highest solve rate?
In this book Amos teams up with a new unlikely partner. A small
black woman who is just as feisty as he is. Even though
he dreads a new partner, they fit together and bring about
a great solve. The FBI would like to get rid of both of them
but can’t - for now.
At the end of book Amos gets disturbing news about
his mental state from the group that monitors his
condition. It is not definitive, but it is disturbing. Couple
that with Amos’s “ one foot on a banana peel “ career
and the reader has to wonder what comes next for him.
We have to wait for David Baldacci to let us know.

Detective series is hands down one of my favorite mystery/thriller sub-genres. When I picked up Memory Man at the library a few years ago and "met" Amos Decker I was instantly hooked on the series. Fun facts about Decker:🔎 Due to sports head injury he is unable to forget anything🔎 He is a police detective who now does joint duty with the FBI🔎 He solved every single case he worked on🔎 He comes from a tragic pastSeven books later, I'm still obsessed with the series. In the latest installment, Decker gets a new partner, Frederica White. It takes time for them to warm up to each other, but they make a great team solving the latest series of murders. A judge and her bodyguard are murdered in the same house. But Decker suspects the murders were committed not by one, but two killers?! As investigators go down the killers' trail, they begin losing key witnesses. Decker also discovers, there is a plan to let him go off the force if he loses this case. No pressure, right?!Great mystery, kept me guessing till the end who the killers were. There were a few usual suspects and it made it so much more exciting to follow the trail. No huge surprise at the end, but the story was so good, with so many leads, that I just kept turning the pages. Baldacci-style chapters are bite-size and often end in a mini-cliffhanger. Impossible to put down! 4.5/5 ⭐ from me.
