About this listen

When her husband mysteriously disappears in a plane crash into the Virginia countryside, a devastated wife must sort out truth from lies in this pause-resisting New York Times best seller.

Sidney Archer has it all: a husband she loves, a job at which she excels, and a cherished young daughter. Then, as a plane plummets into the Virginia countryside, everything changes. And suddenly there is no one whom Sidney Archer can trust.

Jason Archer is a rising young executive at Triton Global, the world's leading technology conglomerate. Determined to give his family the best of everything, Archer has secretly entered into a deadly game. He is about to disappear - leaving behind a wife who must sort out his lies from his truths, an accident team that wants to know why the plane he was ticketed on crashed, and a veteran FBI agent who wants to know it all.

Gripping story, but oh what a time warp

Oof, like stepping backwards in time. The descriptions of technology… 3.5” floppy discs, email, using pay phones… nothing wrong with the story, it’s just dated. Lots of twists and turns, and I definitely didn’t predict the ending.

I couldn't quit listening and the narrative surprised me, I didn't expect him to use so many voices.

mixed bag

(Edited and re-reviewed) The story and characters held my interest through most of the story. The initial presenting problem and plot were unique, not the standard mystery fare, so it promised to be interesting and complex

Much of the plot was propelled by the female protagonist continually saying and doing things that showed poor judgment and worsened her situation. Yet she was repeatedly described as a really smart lawyer. So I reacted negatively. I had trouble liking her. But after thinking about the book a while, I realized that the main character was triggering me from my life experiences with certain people, so I'm going to think on it some more and sample more of David Baldacci's writing, because he is very skilled. The ending really did throw in everything plus the kitchen sink though.

The story

Even if this was written 30 years ago, I enjoyed the books. I love the author’s writing.

Outstanding book and narration

This is the second audiobook that I have listen to from this author. The first was 620 man. I thoroughly enjoyed both.

fantasy island!

the story starts off great and degenerates into nonsensical scenes displaying a laughable FBI and a female lawyer who outduels the FBI and syndicate that are searching for her. very mediocre end to a promising start.

Sophisticated and interesting plot

Couldn’t figure out where this one was going which is a credit to the author’s intricate and detailed plot. Narrated extremely well and engaging throughout. Highly recommend!
