The Fallen (Amos Decker series Book 4)

Product Information

He grabbed the top of the fence separating the two properties, neatly swung over the barrier and dropped inside the other yard. There was assisted suicide. A terminally ill person is suffering and wants to end it, and you help the person to do so. The practice was legal in some places and unlawful in others. Again, someone was dead and, unlike the accidental death, the death was intentional, but it was not the same as murder, because you weren’t doing it for your own benefit. That is all you need to know about the story that and that there will be dead bodies, lots of secrets and the most important thing of all, never trust anyone! Baldacci is a two-time recipient of the International Thriller Writers’“Thriller Master” award, the highest honor given by the organization.

On top of that, Berkshire's searchable past ends ten years ago, beyond which there is no record of her. I liked the character of John Barron, the last living survivor of the family that literally created that town (hence the town’s name as well). He was really like a real gem compared to the rest of the angry and vengeful population. I wouldn’t mind seeing him make an appearance in some later book. His wit and charm captivated my attention. The Fallen, the latest novel from international bestselling author David Baldacci, was one exhilarating thriller that kept me completely engaged for the entire novel. It is my first outing with Mr Baldacci. I’m not sure why it has taken me until now to experience his writing and enjoy his books. Anyhow, I hope to rectify my gap in Baldacci’s works and The Fallen was a great start. She sighed. “A lot. None of them are as cool as Aunt Alex.” She brightened. “She came to visit because my birthday is almost here. I’m turning nine.” I liked how weird this case is, how they slowly had to unravel it to find out the motive for the killing. Did I see the ending coming? Partly to be honest. I was not totally surprised by the twist towards the end when we learn just how everything is connected. Sometimes, the answer is in front of your eyes all the time and I have read so many thrillers that I felt it was quite obvious who the person behind it all was. That doesn't mean that I did not enjoy reading the book, but some twist were just a bit too obvious...He is visiting his FBI partner Alex Jamison's sister and her family in Baronville. A town that has a history of its own. The citizens detest the Baron family that established major industries and rendered employment to the needy. Once they were a bunch of respectful people and deteriorated gradually, with no money in hand. And it definitely is going to be a roller coaster ride for these two.

Anne Berkshire, a substitute teacher at a Catholic school and volunteer at a local hospice, lived in a multimillion dollar condominium and owned a an expensive Mercedes. And they can learn nothing of her past beyond ten years ago. People at the Catholic school where she worked and the hospice where she volunteered really didn't know her that well. No one was close to her. Along with his brain change, his personality had changed as well. The gregarious fun-loving prankster had forever vanished and in its place - He heard a noise somewhere. Then he heard it again. And another time. Repeats of the same sound over and over. It was two distinct sounds actually, one a solid thud and the other like something scraping against something. The harshest legal consequences of all were reserved for acts of murder, because what was more precious than human life?I was irritated by three separate characters iterating the abbreviation ‘FYI’. Not ‘for your information’, just the acronym. Now maybe this is common form for FBI employees but when a third person slipped it into a conversation it was just too much for me. Yes, I do get upset by little things. Electrical wiring had gotten mixed with liquid. He had investigated homicides involving arson and the smell was unmistakable. There was a fire in there. The story itself was complex as well. There were, in fact, a few parallel storylines going in the book, and, at times, I had trouble keeping them apart. There were really a lot of things going on compared to the shadow of a town that the place has become over the years. But, I guess, if you’re searching for trouble and poking the bee’s nest, you will definitely find it. This is the fourth book in the Memory Man series and while not my favorite it was entertaining and timely.

It turns out that Baronville is suffering from massive unemployment because coal mining and related industries have dried up. Moreover, the opioid epidemic has hit the town hard. Many Baronville citizens are addicts, and overdoses are common. After all that Amos has been through, he badly needed a break. So he let himself get convinced that a vacation is exactly what he should take. Thus his trip to the tiny and rather decrepit town of Baronville, where Alex, his journalist friend, has some family. And now that I’ve read the latest book of this series and all the previous series as well, I can’t wait until I read the next David Baldacci book that comes out towards the end of this year: Long Road to Mercy, which is the first in a new thriller series featuring Atlee Pine, an FBI with his own demons to deal with.

Even though Amos is on vacation, he has to help solve the crimes and generally becomes a nuisance to the local PD which doesn’t want him too close to those murders.
