Mercy by David Baldacci

Baldacci scores again.  I enjoy his books , and this was no exception unless it was even better.   Atlee Pine is a formidable FBI agent with the strength and skills to compete mentally and physically with her male counterparts.   I like that Baldacci is aware that misogyny has not disappeared and that there are still entirely too many men who have an unfortunate superiority complex that is all too frequently unwarranted.  Several characters in the book discover underestimating Pine may have dire consequences.  Atlee is still looking for her kidnapped twin sister, Mercy.  This is an ongoing theme.  This book wraps it up and we find out the hows and whys we’ve wondered about through the previous books.

I like strong female protagonists and apparently so does Baldacci.  Mercy finally appears and she is… well no spoilers here.  Britt is another character that is physically superior but with moral limitations.  Carol Blum may not bench 300 pounds, but she has strengths of her own. 

The book has a strong plot line with loads of action and some subtle twists. 

I enjoyed the book and highly recommend it.
