I usually like Baldacci books and the oneโs in this series. However, this storyline was boring and unbelievable. It didnโt keep me spellbound. Sean King is more self righteous, obnoxious and poised as some super sleuth who just pull clues out of thin air. And Michelle Maxwell has way too much masculine energy. Sheโs always ready to fight even ppl twice her size and comes off rude and inappropriate esp when everyone else and her dad is grieving. Does she have an off bottom? Also, I understand these 2 past experiences but they freely move around in powerful circles as PI. In reality, someone would have made these 2 disappear esp world leaders. I couldnโt follow this story, too many side stories.
