Did Nelson DeMille really write this???

The absolute worst written and most boring booking I have listened to! Love Nelson Demille since reading The Generals Daughter in 1992 and John Carey had been one of my favorite characters until this book. Chapters 1 to 20 are him speculating that his old girlfriend may have been secretly setting him up in a job to spy for her and he rehashes the same dialogue over and over. Chapters 21 to at least 25 are more speculation with the ex girlfriend about what May have happened to people a year ago.
My vision of John Carey is a wisecracking, funny, guy who is really good at tracking down and catching bad people. This John Carey is portrayed by the reader as a very serious intense angry man who over analyzes everything….25+ chapters of over analyzing.
For the very 1st time I stopped the book and moved on. I really don’t care. This should have been edited into a short story.

usually love david Baldacci but this character is so cliche..sad childhood now an FBI agent, beautiful, Olympian athlete, new found father is a multibillionaire,etc. her dialogue is condensing. maybe if I had read rather than heard it read it would have more tolerable.

I am revisiting the series, this time on audiobooks. I read this a while back and after 25 books this is the one of two that I remember most.

Listening to this series during my commute and they are fun light stories that make my travel much more enjoyable. The highlight is the narrator who does such a great job with each character that they never need introduction.
