The Fix (Amos Decker series)Apr 18, 2017 by David Baldacci Memory Man 3


Amos Decker witnesses a murder just outside FBI headquarters. A man shoots a woman execution-style on a crowded sidewalk, then turns the gun on himself.





This is a very superior entrance in a great series. I just wish that the series continued to be as good as the first book had been. This series still has possibilities so I am not going to give up on it.

I really suggest that you read at least the first book in this series before you undertake this one---in fact since there are only three books I would say go for reading both earlier books before reading this one. Nevertheless, you don’t HAVE to read the earlier books to get into this one – it will just make it easier on you to understand Amos Decker’s quirks and exceptional capability.

This book is total thriller with a slight dash of illusion thrown in. A theft of our Countries secrets, spying, hacking, espionage, Russia- Middle East, murder and a story line a little too close to home/the truth for my taste! In the first book, we find how Amos came to have his ‘abilities’ and he goes from a cardboard box living, shell of a man, to this book where he is a productive part of a team that is part of the FBI and making friends. (with the likelihood of a girl-friend I think!)


The book as always grabs you from the first page. A need to, must read. I got this book Friday night & couldn't literately put it down. Just finished. 



Fantastic Characters and lots are twist. I have read all his books. By far one of his best work on this one. Can't wait for his next one. One of the best writers I have had the pleasure and luck to come across. Keep up the awesome work you do. A must, must read.

Turbo Twenty-Three: A Stephanie Plum Novel (Ranger had a big part in this book)

This book was so enjoyable - chuckle out loud fun - that I disliked to see it end! I love this author and I really like this series! If you are looking for something with deep significance, and hidden messages, this is not the book to read. But, if you want a light-weight, fun, and pleasurable read, this is your book! I laughed so hard from the beginning to the very end!




There aren't enough superlatives in the English language to explain how much I Iove Stephanie Plum novels narrated by Lorelie King. Evanovich is the funniest writer alive and Lorelie King is brilliant! She brings every nuance of humor out of the dialogue. Her characters are so vivid and well defined that you forget this is just a book and not real life. I highly recommend it.

Lost Girls: A rapid paced, clenching thriller novel (Detective Kim Stone crime thriller series Book 3)

Amazingly gripping, powerful, action-packed book and undoubtedly one of my favorites.



Lost Girls is the 3rd book in the D.I Kim Stone collection. Even while I have read the prior two
books I in fact think Lost Girls pretty easily reads as a stand alone novel, however would
definitely suggest reading the first two novels also as they are superb books.
The story line in Lost Girls, as a mother or father, truly did make for an uneasy read in areas but
was amazed and truly consumed by it.
I don’t know if it was due to the fact of the dynamics of the case but Kim appeared a lot more
energetic than usual. I genuinely would not want to get on the inappropriate side of her. She
undoubtedly put more than a couple of individuals in their places, which a couple of people
more than well deserved it and I thoroughly enjoyed reading through those sections.
The desperation of the circumstance of the two lost girls really comes through in the book and
Lost Girls genuinely makes for a fast moving and clenching read which, by the finish I was
virtually holding my breath, wishing that Kim and her team would resolve the situation and find
both girls safe and more essentially alive.
The sections with Charlie and Amy delivered chills all through me. You could sense the genuine
fear and terror that both girls were enduring. This is unquestionably not a read for the weak
hearted but for true crime thriller fans this is undoubtedly a must read.
The writer surely knows how to interlace a tale that performs games with the audience minds
never mind the characters. With twists and turns it is a story that will absolutely get your heart
beating.
Fantastic book in which for me is very much a 5 star collection.

MURDER HOUSE, by James Patterson and David Ellis Patterson's best book in 2 years

No. 7 Ocean Drive is a gorgeous, multi-million-dollar beachfront estate in the Hamptons, where money and privilege know no bounds. But its beautiful gothic exterior hides a horrific past: it was the scene of a series of depraved killings that have never been solved. Neglected, empty, and rumored to be cursed, it's known as the Murder House, and locals keep their distance. 
MURDER HOUSE, by James Patterson and David Ellis. The concept of suspense in this chiller is a 200 year old, abandon, scary house situated at No. 7 Ocean Drive in the Hamptons. Ex - NYPD undercover detective, Jenna Rose Murphy, is chosen by her uncle, Landon James, the police chief of the small town of Bridgehampton. Jenna has frequently been scared of exactly what she’s not sure—since her landing in this small town. As a very young gal she recalls traveling to the town in the course of several summers with her mother and father. She just lately come to affiliate the monster mansion with its gargoyles and spears on the roof with her dreams and sleepless nights. She feels something disturbing took place at the mansion that included her in some way when she was very young. Jenna’s first task as the town’s detective is to investigate the ferocious murder of a Movie mogul and his lover whose butchered bodies were uncovered in the mansion. Six more savage murders soon follow. The authors’ brilliant writing leaves the reader in the dark as to the killer/killers until the very last chapter. Patterson and Ellis formulated their characters well. The conversation is catchy as Jenna leads us on her voyage through the mystery with its page turning twists and turns. Patterson’s short chapters make for easy reading. Murder House is a excellent novel, the best the author has written in a couple of years. I give the story a 5-star rating.

The Prettiest One: A Thriller/dark exciting/fast paced book you have to read

When Caitlin Sommers discovers herself alone in a empty parking lot with blood on her clothing
and no memory of the prior few months, it seems like one of the nightmares that have
tormented her for years but it’s all too genuine. Determined to find out the truth about where
she’s been and what has transpired to her but terrified of what she may uncover, Caitlin
embarks on a search for answers. Her voyage takes her from the safe suburban community she
understands to a seedy town she’s never heard of, where a terrible truth from her past lies
hidden, a truth she can’t quite recall yet can’t entirely forget.
After pursuing careers in screenwriting and later the law, bestselling author James Hankins committed himself to writing fiction and has written four popular thrillers—Shady Cross, Brothers and Bones, Jack of Spades, and Drawn—each of which became Amazon #1 bestsellers. Additionally, Brothers and Bones received a starred review from Kirkus Reviews and was named to its list of Best Books of 2013.
What an extraordinary story this is from page one until the ending.
Just about when I imagined I had a segment of it
figuredout, I admit that I was completly wrong. And, my investagating common sense did not help for the other parts of the book either. An superb plot motivated by some intriguing character types makes this one a serious page turner. And, the progression of the characters is fantastic which includes both the good guys and the nasty ones. The publishing style is clean and flows easily and the detailed portions will make one wince at times. One thing that I really relished was the two strong women characters Caitlin and Detective Charlotte Hunnsaker.

Laughter is interjected all through the book to allow the readers an possibility to get their breath. After I completed reading this book I kept thinking of it for days ,that is a sign of a great thriller. Mr. Hankins has gone deeply into the minds of two generations with simplicity and also explained in detail the manner in which a distressing event impacts a person.

Most highly recommended and for a number of reasons.

"Make Me" Jack Reacher is at his best again in this action packed thriller

"#Make #Me" #Jack #Reacher is at his best again in this #action #packed #thriller out sept 8th
“Why is this town called Mother’s Rest?” That’s all Reacher needs to know. But no one will explain to him. It’s a very small place concealed in a thousand square miles of wheat fields, with a railroad stop, and sullen and mindful individuals, and a uneasy lady named Michelle Chang, who mistakes him for somebody different: her missing partner in a private investigation she thinks must have commenced small and then transformed dangerous.

Reacher has no specific place to go, and all the time in the world to get there, and there’s a thing about Chang . . . so he teams up with her and begins to ask around. He perceives: How awful can this thing be? But before long he’s stepped into a frantic race through LA, Chicago, Phoenix, and San Francisco, and through the hidden parts of the internet, up versus thugs and assassins every move of the way—right back to where he started, in Mother’s Rest, where he must encounter the worst nightmare he could visualize.

Walking away would have been less complicated. But as always, Reacher’s rule is: If you want me to stop, you’re going to have to make me.

He seems to have got off a train in the midsection of wheat country, for no greater motives than he liked the mysterious name of the town, Mother’s Rest, and that he’s got tried and true intuition for sniffing out problems. Lee Child’s Reacher series has struck Book No. 20 with a unquestionable stream of wisecracking entertainment (“Are you going to be a problem?” “I’m already a problem. The issue is, what are you going to do about it?”). Every little thing about it, beginning with Reacher’s nose for bad news, is as powerful as ever before.

Keep that in mind next time somebody tells you that Mr. Child, whose perinal tough-guy thrillers all adhere to the same fundamental rules, is just one more style type repeating himself in a mechanized way.

“Make Me” is a incredibly hot one. So was “Never Go Back” two years ago, but the tepid “Personal” (2014) came between them. Mr. Child does his best work when he endeavors into bold new obstacles, and “Personal” didn’t provide any. “Make Me” provides a massive one, but it takes its sweet time in exposing what, precisely, is underfoot in the vaguely menacing hick town that tempts Reacher.
There are indicators that this a heart forthe agricultural business there is five very massive grain lifts in a place that has very few folks in it. (Reacher guesses the human population must be a thousand. But we hear from only about a dozen people, all of whom wish he’d go away.) And there is one other visitor, a beautiful woman detective named Chang whose partner, Keever, has inexplicably vanished. To the surprise of all the moles in Mother’s Rest, who make phone calls reporting on Reacher’s location whenever they see him, he and Chang move into the nearby motel trying to determine out where Keever has gone.

Not much to operate with, is it? Specifically when Mr. Child has to summarize the basic things about Reacher that he’s said in each one of these books. What does he carry with him? Usually the answer is “Everything I need and nothing I don’t,” which can mean a toothbrush. This time it’s “a few bucks in my pocket, and four points on the compass.” He’s also inquired where he lives. (“Nowhere. In the world. Right here, today.”) And what kind of nothing he does. (“I travel. I see things. I go where I want.”)
This is the book that will take Reacher from the kind of wise cracking  his followers love and the physical violence that he comprehends (he actually hurts himself head-butting this time, another new perspective for the series), into the eerie concrete realities of 2015, not the ones Reacher learned in the last century as part of his military training.

He’s a fast study, but he has been unaware about a large, horrific, intangible part of the planet in which fantasies rule, no thought is forbidden and a great deal of people die. “Make Me” will surprise some of Mr. Child’s readers if they know nothing of the hidden world that Reacher detects. Clarity has always been one of Mr. Child’s strong suits. One of reachers better books read it.

all over it and as sure as im sitting here it's the beginning of a remarkable series.
Amos Decker's life changed

play pro football. But his occupation ended before it had a probability to begin. On his very
first play, a brutal helmettohelmet
collision knocked him off the field for good, and left him
with an impossible side effecthe
can never forget anything.

The Last Mile (Amos Decker series book 2) another outstanding Amos Decker story from David Baldacci

Is now out read our review 

In David's #1 New York Times bestseller Memory Man, David Baldacci launched the astonishing detective Amos Decker-the man who can't forget anything. Now, Decker comes back in a breathtaking new thriller . . .
THE LAST MILE

Almost two decades afterwards now a police detective, Decker returned home from a
stakeout one evening and entered a nightmare his wife, young daughter, and brotherinlaw
had been murdered.
His family demolished, their killer's id as unexplained as the objective behind the crime, and
not able to forget a single detail from that terrible night, Decker finds his world crumbling
around him. He leaves the police force, loses his home, and winds up on the street, taking
minor jobs as a private investigator when he can.
But over a year later, a man turns himself in to the police and confesses to the murders. At
the same time a horrifying event nearly brings Burlington to its knees, and Decker is called
back in to help with this investigation. Decker also grabs his chance to learn what really
happened to his family that night. To uncover the stunning truth, he must use his remarkable
gifts and confront the burdens that go along with them. He must endure the memories he
would much rather forget. And he may have to make the ultimate sacrifice.
Amos Decker, an exceptional athlete who made it to the NFL, encountered a
helmettohelmet
impact on his first play that transformed his life permanently. From that
instant, Decker's brain changed and he lost the capacity to forget. The whole world became a
plethora of colors and memories that he could effortlessly access. With his new capabilities,
he's the ideal applicant to become a police detective. He can go to a crime scene once and
walk through it over and over again in his brain, and he can remember word for word
testimony by a witness or suspect.
His life is demolished when he comes home and finds that his wife, young daughter and
brotherinlaw
have been murdered. He can never forget about the scene, and with no
witnesses and little data, he sinks into hopelessness. Decker ends up leaving the force and
becomes homeless. He works as a private detective but has few clients, and he's humiliated
by his overall look and how low he has fallen.

Doctor Sleep: A Novel by Stephen King (Author) review [King's long-awaited 36-years-later sequel to 1977's THE SHINING.]

Stephen King comes back to the character and location of one of his most wellknown
works of
fiction ever, The Shining, in this instantaneously riveting story about the now middleaged
Dan
Torrance and the very unique twelveyearold
girl he must save from a tribe of murderous
paranormal s. As i have always said about every other King book is worth reading this King's
longawaited
36yearslater
sequel to 1977's THE SHINING this one of the ones you want to
read.
This novel didn't replicate the level of horror as The Shining. However, I was not very old when I
read the initial novel and the miraculous terror of The shining can't be entirely recaptured. This
book was as fantastic a sequel as could ever have been anticipated to follow up a story that
holds that significant of a position in our combined pasts.
Tend not to read this book if all that's necessary for you is to return to The Overlook Hotel and
insane Jack Torrence. Neither of them are revived except as a summary of Danny Torrence's
historical past. The Overlook Hotel burned up. That's how Jack Torrence, died when he failed
save the Overlook by not removing the defective boiler.. There are reflects from the past,
rehashes, but this isn't as much of a sequel as it is a new story starring old characters.
King quickly updates us on what transpired to little Danny and his mother Wendy, as well as the
old cook who shared the shine with Danny. That update was pretty damn scary in it's own. I
won't tell you, but some revisitations
were made.
In Danny's adult years the story becomes less insanely crazy/scary than the first book.
Nevertheless, King's storytelling and ability to scare are still incredibly strong. This is a different
tale entirely than The Shining, with only a little overlap. Don't expect to encounter that same level
of terror and you won't be let down.
There was also a very human side of this story. Death and dying, the fight for sobriety, King dealt
with a lot of his personal demons I believe. He is 65 years old now, a time when many individuals
reminisce.
Read it you will enjoy the story it is number 8 on Amazon best seller list
