Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I got at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 60% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Books I have authored.

Many times I receive books for FREE to give them an honest review. I do not get paid to give a good or bad review. Spotlights are promotional and should be regarded as advertising for the book spotlighted. Regardless of where or how I got a book, my review will be as honest as I can make it.

The Whole Truth by David Baldacci



Baldacci again has a new hero, a new ethos and another, never boring cliff hanging, throat grabbing thriller.   This one is focused on Shaw, a loner, a fixer and a violent man.

Baldacci wields a rapier when he writes.  You are never sure who is going to get cut and you often lament those who do.   Baldacci  crafts a character that you love and then destroys it.  This is sometimes a bit frustrating for those of us of Polyanna leaning who hope for a happy ending.   With David Baldacci, there is no guarantee of a happy ending.

Shaw is a larger than life, more highly skilled individual in mayhem than any of us can ever hope to avoid.   You would want this guy in your corner if the ball dropped.

The most frightening aspect of the story isn’t the messy mayhem but the premise of the story.   It is entirely too believable.   Greed and fanaticism run rampant and Baldacci has tapped into a plausible path for those twin evils to run amuck.   Zealots of all stripes are terrifying.   This book may make you think.

I highly recommend it.

 
This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
