Book Review: The Edge by David Baldacci

Published in 2023. Thriller. Travis Devine, the 6:20 Man, is sent to Putnam, Maine to investigate the death of Jenny Silkwell, an employee of the CIA. At first, the feds thought this case involved espionage, but the initial investigation didn’t reveal anything. So, Devine is sent in to find out the true cause. Right off the bat, he becomes suspicious of the initial findings when he notices inconsistencies in witness statements. For instance, an old man named Earl found the body in the middle of the night in pouring rain. While it could be true, Devine doesn’t believe an old man, with severe arthritis, a bad back, and walked with a cane, would walk that far in the rain.

Devine knows he is on the right track when he is targeted and shot at. Despite the danger to his life, he continues his investigation to find the killer and the motive behind it.

I enjoyed reading this book. It kept my interest from the beginning to the end. This is only the second book with Travis Devine, but I hope there will be more.
