About this listen

True Blue is a gripping novel, full of fast-paced excitement from David Baldacci, one of the world's master storytellers.

Mason 'Mace' Perry was a maverick cop on the D.C. police force until she was kidnapped and framed for a crime. She lost everything – her career, her freedom – and spent two years in prison. Now on her return to society, Mace is trying to rebuild her life and track down the people who set her up. But even with her police chief sister at her side, she has to work in the shadows: there's a vindictive US attorney on her tail, just looking for a reason to send her back behind bars.

Roy Kingman is a young lawyer, still getting used to his high paid job at a practice in Washington. When Roy discovers the dead body of a female partner at work his fate becomes entangled with Mace's, as the two team-up to investigate.

But as their enquiries gather pace, Roy and Mace soon find themselves in unexpected territory – drawn into both the private and public world of the nation's capital as dark secrets begin to emerge. What began as a fairly routine homicide investigation quickly turns into something far more complex. And possibly lethal . . .

Not a recommended reading. I totally agree with previous reader's (Steven's) review. The story has so many improbable twists, lucky turns, that it is laughable. The jokes aren't funny and, for some reason, I didn't like the narrator. He made everything sound oh-so dramatic. The female character comes across as ridiculously lucky, naive and too 'macho'.
I liked Baldacci but this one is a bad example of his work.

bleak; almost didn't finish

I have read and listened to just about everything David Baldacci has written. Found this book very disappointing - very hard to believe that Baldacci wrote this. The characters are trite, and largely unbelievable. The number of impossibly lucky "events" beggar belief. The "smart alec" dialogue from the hero is off putting and unreal. There is very little positive to say about this effort from Baldacci. It doesn't measure up to his other fiction.

Disappointing
