I regretted ever starting this book. it is so bad, so amateurish, so terribly written, so contrived. I think contrived is the perfect word for it. The characters are boring, the plot is boring, The climax is boring, the resolution is boring. The only thing I can figure is that Baldacci is over the hill. My best advice to him is to pack it in. Fortunately, I picked it up at the library for a dollar. In retrospect, it wasn't worth the dollar.
