I'm off to check out True Blue to see if it is narrated by my favorite couple.
It's listed as book one is a series so I'm assuming there will be more to come.

Olivia wrote: "Enjoyed Memory Man. I'm glad it''s the beginning of a series. Five stars."That's great news Olivia. I'm glad you loved it.
I just finished Memory Man today. I loved it and can't wait for the next in the series. Amos is such a interesting character whose memory is probably going to take us into some fascinating cases.

I think it will be a pretty awesome series.
I finished Memory Man and thought it was well-written with interesting characters. On the negative side I think, in real life, the detectives (especially the FBI) would have uncovered some of the 'clues' a lot quicker. I figure if they occurred to me they'd occur to an FBI agent even sooner.Still, I enjoyed the book and would read more in the series. 3.5 stars
Great Barbara. I'm happy you read it and enjoyed it.
I just finished this book and I'm stoked! I loved all the characters, the story was a great brain teaser and I'm a big fan of David Baldacci. The only thing that made me blow a raspberry at the end was when Alex Jamison was hired by the FBI without having so much as a journalism degree. Gee, if it were that easy, I would apply myself. LOL
Great book! Enjoyed it immensely!

I'm so glad to hear you read and enjoyed it Freda. Thanks for posting and letting us know.
Hi all. I am late to the party. I loved this book. I almost took a pass because I have been disappointed with the last few camel club books. I really like this new char. I hope he doesn't deteriorate as did Baldachis camel club did

So it is the beginning of a new series? I've read all the rest, and my favorite was the Camel Club series. But then, I like books that are thought-provoking, political or not.
