In this gripping mystery, an FBI Agent’s search for her sister clashes with a military investigator's high-stakes case, leading them both deep into a global conspiracy - from which neither of them will escape unscathed.

For many long years, Atlee Pine was tormented by uncertainty after her twin sister, Mercy, was abducted at the age of six and never seen again. Now, just as Atlee is pressured to end her investigation into Mercy's disappearance, she finally gets her most promising breakthrough yet: the identity of her sister's kidnapper, Ito Vincenzo.

With time running out, Atlee and her assistant Carol Blum race to Vincenzo's last known location in Trenton, New Jersey - and unknowingly stumble straight into John Puller's case, blowing his arrest during a drug ring investigation involving a military installation.

Stunningly, Pine and Puller's joint investigation uncovers a connection between Vincenzo's family and a breathtaking scheme that strikes at the very heart of global democracy. Peeling back the layers of deceit, lies and cover-ups, Atlee finally discovers the truth about what happened to Mercy. And that truth will shock Pine to her very core.

Simply outstanding

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 3, 2020

There is so much to say about this book that I don’t know where to start.
But, to begin with, David Baldacci has awarded us with another (yes, yet another) phenomenal read.
I should say this first. I do not re tell story lines in my reviews. So, any would-be reader/reviewer reading this for a “cliff notes” purpose will be disappointed. I write this without having read any other reviewer’s take on this book.
I typically break down a book in an analytic way, looking at Plot, Character Development, Rising/Falling Action, Anti Climax, and then, Resolution.
The Plot of this book was enormously engrossing. I could not put the book down---with one caveat.
For me, the read started off slow, which from my experience with this writer, was, I thought, unusual. But, then the read took off like a rocket right on through the Resolution.
A word about Resolution.
I generally find the Resolution in a book to be sappy, i.e., either not that interesting, or even informative to the story line overall. But, that’s me.
Major exception was this read. It was outstanding. Unlike any other that I’ve read, either by this author or of others I’ve read and reviewed, the Resolution in this book absolutely captured the essence of the read for me.
But, I should digress.
Character Development, for me, means I want the good guys to be “good” and the bad guys to be “better” (as in the Mae West line, “When I’m good, I’m very good, and when I’m bad, I’m “better”).
The terrifically “good guy” in this book is FBI agent Atlee Pine.
I have to say, that in her prior books, she didn’t exactly set my heart on fire. She absolutely did, though, in this read. She was doggedly determined to get to the bottom of things, whatever those “things” might be throughout the story line.
Having said that, I liked John Puller’s role, but frankly, Atlee over shadowed him in the main, except for the one scene in which he came through in flying colors.
I can’t say too much for any other antagonist in the read including Jack Lineberry, but, what I will say about him, is, he got what he deserved (see Resolution).
As I say above, there is a lot to say about this book that I don’t mention here. Suffice it to say, the story is particularly poignant in those other areas. But to expound on them here would be too much to comment on in this review.
In conclusion, David Baldacci is one of those writers that never disappoints. He always provides an exceptional read. I pre order his books and read them as soon as I can. I will continue to do so.

Unbelievable 3.5 stars

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 1, 2022

Verified Purchase

I did borrow the book from the library. And overall it was good but I had a lot of eye rolling while reading.

Some of the things that made it not as enjoyable as the previous two in the series: There were too many close calls and in the knick of time saves. The criminals were super human in their knowledge and a step ahead of both Puller and Atlee.

However, it was still mostly entertaining except it was also depressing because there were so many disgusting villains. And too many people dropped the ball on her sister for too long, including Atlee.

The end was weird and there were a lot of storylines so one kept on going back and forth between different characters in bad situations.

Love the pairing with the Puller brothers - I really like their books too (I like almost all of David Baldacci's books). Stayed up all night to finish this one. I hope one of the studios make a series out of Agent Pine!

Really enjoying Atlee Pine

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 1, 2020

Atlee Pine is an FBI Special Agent and a woman on a mission! She is focused, tough and doggedly determined to locate her twin sister. Readers are encouraged to read this series in order to fully appreciate the developing tale of Atlee Pine. The first book is titled Long Road to Mercy, followed by A Minute to Midnight. Each book reveals just a little bit more of what occurred one night when Mercy and Atlee, twin girls, were in bed. At the end of that night, Atlee is severely injured, and Mercy is nowhere to be found. Each book not only tells a little bit more of Atlee’s background and that of her family, but there are cases Atlee is caught up in and helps to solve.
In Daylight, Atlee and her assistant Carol Blum are chasing down a recent lead that might help Atlee find her sister. The revelations in the book about what Atlee didn’t know about her parents is surprising and creates tension that kept me reading for hours. The story has a character from another series in the Baldacci world of fiction named John Puller. John Puller is a top-notch Army CID agent, and Atlee inadvertently steps into his current investigation. So, they set out together to solve their respective cases because they seem very entangled and so huge that each person couldn’t solve their case alone. What they didn’t expect is the amount of danger and risk rises exponentially from sources that are supposed to be helping them.
Throughout the book, readers can expect surprises in the plot and maybe characters from other Baldacci books. In Daylight, David Baldacci takes his time weaving a masterpiece of a story that pulls readers in with an ending that will take your breath away! Join the adventure and continuing tale of FBI Agent Atlee Pine as she scours the country looking for her sister Mercy. You won’t regret it!

Very Good

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 12, 2020

Atlee Pine has been searching for twin sister Mercy ever since she joined the FBI. Hampered by the gaps in her memory caused by the life threatening injuries received during the attack she has struggled for many years to remember what happened on that fateful night. Having finally returned home to try to fill in some of the blanks she now finds herself heading to New Jersey to follow up some promising leads relating to the newly discovered identity of the kidnapper.

With her assistant and loyal friend, Carol Blum, at her side she is shocked to find her case is linked to that of military investigator John Puller through the kidnapper she has only just begun to hunt. Together they realise the connection could strike at the heart of far more than either of them could begin to understand alone and as more information comes to light Atlee finally reaches a shocking realisation of what happened to Mercy all those years ago.

Once again Mr Baldacci has provided a story to keep you reading long into the night. Atlee is a great character and the addition of John Puller is a very clever move as it gives a whole different sense of what has happened and why. Thankfully, although many things have been sorted there is still more to come where Atlee is concerned and I will absolutely be waiting in line for that.

I was able to read an advanced copy of this book thanks to NetGalley and the publishers but the opinions expressed are my own. Anyone who is a fan of this series of books won't be disappointed.

A disappointing offering

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 25, 2020

Verified Purchase

I normally buy Baldacci Books as they are published and this one was no exception, I was expecting the end of a trilogy with the hunt for Mercy coming to a conclusion and the addition of John Puller to the story was an added bonus, as he needs a bit of an airing.

The story is fine as far as it goes pushing the hunt for Mercy along, and the slightly weaker subplot of Political blackmail could have been better used, my main complaint though is the ending!

I had the impression from previous books that there would be a conclusion to the Mercy story soon and perhaps a new opening for Atlee where she fades with her sister into the sunset, but the rushed ending here felt like the author had a 'Ka-ching' moment and has spun the story out for at least another episode, altogether unsatisfying as this character's story arc was, I felt, coming to a natural end. It will be interesting to see how (if) he brings John Puller back after this.

A really good read with a complex plot

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 4, 2021

Verified Purchase

The story continues from two previous Atlee Pine books and comes to a semi conclusion with still some outstanding issues to be resolved. Enough room for another book to finalise it all I guess. I like the female lead Atlee as an FBI agent with a background and some burning issues that make her life difficult at times. The insert of John Puller and his brother from another series by Baldacci is clever and fits well and dovetails nicely into the overall plot which is complex but intriguing. A really good read overall and I await further developments.

A bit disappointing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 21, 2020

Verified Purchase

For perhaps the first time with Baldacci's books I felt a little underwhelmed. The story runs along well enough - but it felt rushed at the end - meaning that this wasn't the ending to the trilogy that I had expected. It was ok, but not of the quality of most of his previous works. I just felt that it stopped too suddenly, as the writer realised that a 4th book could be added on to the series. Maybe I'm being too harsh, though.

The Weakest of Baldacci' s novels

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

Having read all the other novels, this one by comparison feels clunky at the beginning and over complicated throughout the rest of the book. I'm a big fan, but this doesn't even feel like he wrote it. The dialogue at the outset to bring the reader up to speed on previous Pine stories is like the painting by numbers used in cheaply made tv series. Not worth the money or the wait.
