This was my first Baldacci novel and there were things that I liked and things that I disliked about it.
This is the story of “Mace” Perry, a cop convicted wrongly and sent to prison for 2 years. Her older sister, Beth Perry, is the Chief of Police in D.C. When Mace is released from prison she gets involved in the latest case being tackled by her sister.
The book was easy to read and kept moving at a fast pace. Like most modern thrillers there’s a neat package ending and everything is revealed in strategic bites through the novel allowing you to feel as if the mystery is slowing getting unwound in front of you.
What I didn’t like about the book was how how hard and cliche the main characters were portrayed to be. Every super good girl and bad girl had to be chiseled, toned and completely badass. I rolled my eyes more than a few times because, while I can appreciate female empowerment in a book, this went totally to the extreme and made the book a bit ridiculous to me. And… If I never read the name “Ducati” again it’ll be too soon.
