FBI Agent Atlee Pine returns to her Georgia hometown to investigate her twin sister's abduction, only to encounter a serial killer in this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller.
FBI Agent Atlee Pine's life was never the same after her twin sister Mercy was kidnapped -- and likely killed -- thirty years ago. After a lifetime of torturous uncertainty, Atlee's unresolved anger finally gets the better of her on the job, and she finds she has to deal with the demons of her past if she wants to remain with the FBI.
Atlee and her assistant Carol Blum head back to Atlee's rural hometown in Georgia to see what they can uncover about the traumatic night Mercy was taken and Pine was almost killed. But soon after Atlee begins her investigation, a local woman is found ritualistically murdered, her face covered with a wedding veil -- and the first killing is quickly followed by a second bizarre murder.
Atlee is determined to continue her search for answers, but now she must also set her sights on finding a potential serial killer before another victim is claimed. But in a small town full of secrets -- some of which could answer the questions that have plagued Atlee her entire life -- and digging deeper into the past could be more dangerous than she realizes . . .

Review

"Secrets and twists pop up seemingly on every page . . . an angst-riddled tale with a Southern Gothic tone. This is brilliant storytelling that will leave you reading long after the clock strikes 12."―Providence Journal

"A murder mystery that spooks and horrifies."
―Associated Press

"Baldacci has produced another remarkable novel with plot twists galore that let the pages practically turn themselves. His writing style allows readers to immediately enter the action and then forces them to strap in for another wild ride. He saves the biggest surprise for last in a moment that will provide an unexpected cliffhanger, which will have his audience eagerly awaiting the next entry."―BookReporter.com

"Baldacci does a fantastic job plotting things out and revealing just enough . . . to keep readers engaged and on the edge of their seats . . . A final surprise [will] leave fans begging for more. . . Few writers can hook readers faster and harder than David Baldacci."―The Real Book Spy

"Baldacci shows off his mastery of the twist-and-turn-thriller, keeping us on edge throughout, right up to a surprise finale."―Florida Times-Union

Unbelievable Female

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2019

Male writers just don't do female characters well, and David Baldacci is no exception. Atlee? For goodness sake! That is a man's name. And she has to be six feet tall and a weight lifter? Why not have a female heroine who is also actually feminine? Many women are very smart and strong without being masculinized.

Boring

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2019

Verified Purchase

I'm a gung ho Baldacci fan and I'll probably get struck by lightening for this review but I found the book boring, predictable, and I couldn't wait to finish is. I thought his first Atlee book was better. This one just rambled through a small town introducing characters who I guess were all suspects. The supposed twists didn't surprise me a bit. I realize this is fiction but some things make Atlee out to be a super woman. Seems as though I like the first book involving a new main character then I don't care as much for the follow ups. I'm tired of the Memory Man and I'm past tired of the Camel Club, but still find the Puller, Will Robie & King/Maxwell books good reads. Hate giving 3* to one of my favorite authors, but it is what it is.

Will Robie, Memory Man

mediocre compared to first atlee pine series or book

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2019

The first Atlee pine novel by Baldacci was exciting, interesting. Find her sister and mother. Now, the second thriller was simply mediocre. Go to small town, start putting pieces together. I will not spoil anything for anyone, but..the outcome, the last chapter, so obvious, figured it out 1/4 of the way through. Now? a third installment, book will be written, Atlee Pine still trying to find her sister. Oops, did I give away the ending of book 2? buying the next book, part three, will never happen here. It's like the Lee child books, after 1/2 of them are read, the rest, predictable. The books were good as gifts. Truly wish Baldacci would have written a captivating finale to the disappearance of the Atlee Pine character's sister. no matter. IF ethics exist, LOL, I find it quite sad, disheartening that an author will drag readers through a third book, who knows, a fourth book, resolving the whereabouts of Mercy Pine. yawn

FBI Atlee Pine #2

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2019

Verified Purchase

Atlee Pine is not my favority Baldacci character (I like Amos Decker, the "memory man" the most). It is, though, a Baldacci novel and so is absolutely well plotted with fully formed characters. It seemed a bit slow to me. After two whole books grinding on it, I'm kinda tired of Atlee's personal mystery which revolves around the abduction of her twin sister when they were six years old. Come on - let's get it solved and move on, please! Just as I enjoyed the setting of the Grand Canyon in Long Road to Mercy, I enjoyed the Andersonville setting here (although the Grand Canyon was more exciting and more fun). I very rarely take more than 3-4 days to read a novel and this one took me five. Definitely an indication that it was a slow read that did drag in places.

Enjoyed the tale, can’t wait for her next instalment.

Baldacci got another hit on his hands

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2019

Verified Purchase

An Atlee Pine Thriller is a gross understatement. One the first page I was hooked and the last page left me wanting the next book now. Atlee is not a woman who uses feminine whilst to find her man (or woman). She charges when needed and lays back when time allows. She is on a quest to find out what happened to her twin who was abducted when they were children and she is also on a hunt for a serial killer stalking a small Georgia town. How are the crimes connected to Atlee, the town and each other?

Brilliant as ever

I like the Atlee Pine character. And her sidekick, Carol Blum. Both are well written and entirely believable. They complement each other, too. In fact all the characters are believable and relevant. One of the good things about David Baldacci is that he doesn’t crowd his books with loads of characters. He sticks to the point. And the same goes with the plots and locations, too. All in all, a wonderfully enjoyable read.

Not disappointed

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 24, 2020

Verified Purchase

I love almost all of David Baldacci's characters and Atlee Pine is one of the best, with an intriguing plot line. I tend to be uber critical of authors and pick out their stock in trade phrases, some of which have me grinding my teeth, but at least these books are well edited so I can forgive any banal dialogue, answers that don't make sense or obvious questions that were never asked.
Really looking forward to book three, please write faster, David, your fans will gobble up everything you produce!

Thanks Mr Baldacci for yet another masterpiece. I've yet to be disappointed and this story is no different. Brilliant characterisation, and just as in real life they are sometimes flawed, sometimes brilliant, sometimes downright evil, but totally believable in every case.
Can't wait for the next one!

Not up to his usual standard

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 14, 2020

Normally enjoy his books but this is very poor and it was a struggle to finish it. Some of the dialogue is so atrocious it would make me stop reading because i had to check i hadn't missed a word. Or a sentance. It's a shame because the story line is quite good and has a couple of nice twists but none of that makes up for the writing. If you're a diehard fan you won't care. If, like me, you dip in and out of his books then this is one to avoid.

What a story. I have really enjoyed both books in the Atlee Pine series. Totally bought into her life in the first one and immediately started the second one after finishing it. The back story draws you in and the FBI investigations seem all so real that I was there with them. Can't wait for the next installment, please don't take too long.

What a fantastic read, every much as good and maybe better than the first Atlee Pine adventure.
Mr Baldacci certainly pushed the boat out on this next part of the story and has left it in a perfect position for an exciting follow up which cannot come soon enough.
As in the first novel the characters are amazing and the whole storyline very credible.
