Hour Game by David Baldacci – 5 Stars

Why am I reading a Copright@2004
book? Somehow, I missed this Baldacci mystery and my wife just happened to be
the right place at the right time when an individual cleaning out a father’s
home had no place to take the scores of books from his library because the
libraries were not accepting any books during COVID-19 days.
I was astounded once again by the
perfectly planned plot and the writing of Mr. Baldacci. This novel was focused
on a serial killer whose thunder was then side-tracked by the burglary and killings
of individuals of the Battle families. Throw in even more murders that had some
importance killer(s) and we have several multi-threaded investigations thrown at
the team of Michelle and King. They begin formulating theories that sound right
on, until they discover they are “one tick” off! Almost everybody has reason to
kill.
The suspects pile up and you are
left with nothing by question and suspicions until the end, or near the end
when a killer finally get captures. But, are there more than one killer? And
who robbed Remmy Battle and why? After a few false turns, the burglar finally
gets revealed, but the answer as to why doesn’t. Well, it sort-of does at the end,
but who is left up to you.
It was hard to put this book down;
there was always something important happening. This is the way mysteries
should be written. So glad I had the opportunity to return to an old book and a
favorite author.
