Richard comments
A reader cannot go wrong with a Baldacci book The writer creates stories that rivet one’s attention and entertain usually from cover to cover.
Every author has some works that are better than others. Total Control sticks to that pattern. It is many pages before the story becomes engaging. In fact, this reader had to check the cover a number of times to confirm it was a Baldacci book. Slow to start, the Baldacci aura lights up about a third of the way into the book and the story then takes flight. The plot is sound. The story entertaining. There are times the believability is tested when the heroine, Sidney Archer, does what she does to escape. But cutting Baldacci some slack, one will still find the book an enjoyable read. Baldacci never disappoints.
