Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Catch a tiger by its toe. It's seared into Atlee Pine's memory: the kidnapper's chilling rhyme as he chose between six-year-old Atlee and her twin sister, Mercy. Mercy was taken. Atlee was spared. She never saw Mercy again. Three decades after that terrifying night, Atlee Pine works for the FBI. She's the lone agent assigned to the Shattered Rock, Arizona resident agency, which is responsible for protecting the Grand Canyon. So when one of the Grand Canyon's mules is found stabbed to death at the bottom of the canyon - and its rider missing - Pine is called in to investigate.

It's 1949. When war veteran Aloysius Archer is released from Carderock Prison, he is sent to Poca City on parole with a short list of dos and a much longer list of don'ts: do report regularly to his parole officer, don't go to bars, certainly don't drink alcohol, do get a job - and don't ever associate with loose women. The small town quickly proves more complicated and dangerous than Archer's years serving in the war or his time in jail.

Publisher's Summary
Amos Decker—the FBI consultant with a perfect memory—returns to solve a gruesome murder in a booming North Dakota oil town in the newest thriller in David Baldacci's number one New York Times best-selling Memory Man series.
When Amos Decker and his FBI colleague Alex Jamison are called to London, North Dakota, they instantly sense that the thriving fracking town is ripe for trouble. The promise of a second gold rush has attracted an onslaught of newcomers all hoping for a windfall, and the community is growing faster than houses can be built. The sudden boom has also brought a slew of problems with it, including drugs, property crimes, prostitution—and now murder.
Decker and Jamison are ordered to investigate the death of a young woman named Irene Cramer, whose body was expertly autopsied and then dumped in the open—which is only the beginning of the oddities surrounding the case. As Decker and Jamison dig into Irene's life, they are shocked to discover that the woman who walked the streets by night as a prostitute was a teacher for a local religious sect by day—a sect operating on land once owned by a mysterious government facility that looms over the entire community.
London is a town replete with ruthless business owners, shady government officials, and religious outsiders, all determined to keep their secrets from coming out. When other murders occur, Decker will need all of his extraordinary memory and detective skills, and the assistance of a surprising ally, to root out a killer and the forces behind Cramer's death...before the boom town explodes.

I returned this book
I was very disappointed in this Baldacci book. This and the previous book has mad me reconsider buying future Baldacci books. The previous book in the series referenced that they felt a vegan diet was healthier and this book took every chance to bad mouth the oil industry. I read Baldacci books for the fiction not to have to deal with the writers mislead beliefs.

IF IT AIN'T BROKE - DON'T FIX IT!
I am — was a huge fan of the Memory Man Series. The first three books were fabulous. They left me gasping for the next one to be released. Then Mr. Baldacci began tinkering with the Decker character making book four somewhat of a disappointment. Now, with this book, my zeal for this series is demolished. If I had wanted to read a Will Robie book, I would have bought one. I made it through to chapter 46, but no more. I cannot finish it. I'm sorry Mr. Baldacci, but you have ruined the series for me. Never again. The old adage "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" holds true here. You should have left well enough alone. Like backsides, everyone has an opinion and this is mine. Fans of your Will Robie series will love this book. Sadly, this will be the last Baldacci book I will buy.

The story is pretty convoluted. Character development is minimal. It started out really interesting but in the end was just too contrived and the murders too loosely tied together. Disappointed.

At the end we enjoyed the book, although the plot seem to be unnecessarily complicated. We did not enjoy the multiple narrators - we much prefer one.

Always an enjoyable story from DB.
Narration was excellent from both actors. The plot had good twists, particularly regarding the military base. I found the murder plot was a stretch and not up to Baldacci's usually excellent plot lines . Overall, still enjoyable.

Love Amos & Alex.
Most Memorable moment was the street fight (Amos & Stan), two to six, creative fight methods, excellent. Need more fight's, possibly even have Alex kick some butt along side Amos, lol. That could be potentially funny plus action packed.

Baldacci Writes Another 5 Star Book!
I don’t think I’ve ever come across...
A David Baldacci book that I didn’t like. This one is no exception. Although this is a book about Amos Decker, the character of Will Robie plays a very important role in this story. Jessica Reel makes a few appearances as well.
There are multiple plots going on throughout.
The murder of a prostitute is flagged when her fingerprints are run through AFIS. Because of this Amos and his partner Alex are sent to London, ND.
Meanwhile, Will Robie is sent undercover because of the same woman but there is something really bad going on in London and Will needs to figure out what it is. There are some wealthy people backing a fracking industry, there’s an Air Force Station with shady security and all will come crashing down in the end.
Kyf Brewer and Orlagh Cassidy do a super job working as a team.
This book has my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.
If you found this review helpful please indicate so.
Thank You.

Again with the weird accent!!!
Amos Decker narration book 1 to now has progressively gotten worse and weirder. Lug it’s like you’re just trying out accents and levels of gruffness. I didn’t enjoy your surfer guy interpretation earlier into the series but this Columbo thing you got going on today is ridiculous. Remainder is commentary on fracking along with a murder mystery. So much potential in this series, but meh!

Decker & Jamison + Robie & Reel!!
I see that Audible listener Shelley wrote an excellent review which you should read and give a helpful vote.
David Baldacci is author of 43 audio books in my Audible library. The author with the next most books in my Audible library is Brett Battles with 35. Neither Baldacci or Battles has released a novel that disappointed me. WALK THE WIRE is superb, an easy 5 star listen.

Plot and Narration sadly deficient
Instead of evolving as hoped, David Baldacci’s Amos Decker has lost his endearing and interesting character and become boring and irritating individual. This backwards march is pushed by the substandard and irritating narration.
In fact it maybe the irritating narration which reduced a novel with great possibilities in the Baldacci tradition into a sadly unbelievable story. I gave up on this book with two hours to go, since it left me with no interest in the outcome. Now how bad is that.
I did like the title and the ‘dust cover picture’.

Disappointed
I was so looking forward to listening to this book I really liked the Amos Decker books that came before this. But this hardly seemed like the same man. There was hardly anything about his memory and his seeing colors and honestly I got a little bored It seemed like there was a killing every time I turned around and the characters didn't make an impression. I wouldn't recommend it. Too much changing stories and too many plots. Reallly sorry this is not a very interesting listen. The only really good part was that that Roby was back with his sidekick

*Spoilers* Riveting
So like title said, I will have some spoilers. I didn’t really read the summary about this book. I just got email that it was out and purchased it. Having listened to all the previous ones and loved them, buying this was a no brainer.
Ok so down to the spoiler part.
Now this book was great, hands down. I was upset somewhat that Melvin wasn’t in the book but a mention by name, but another character(s) were. If you have read any other reviews, that would be Will Robie, Jessica Reel, and Blue Man. This caught me off guard when Robie was introduced when he was because not only was I not expecting to hear some sort of crossover but the fact that all 3 main characters in that series made it over. I have been waiting for a Robie book for quite sometime now and hopefully having them in here will do just that in the future. Phenomenal book!! The storyline was great, better than the previous one I believe. But damn. It didn’t have too much of Amos’ memory traits to speak on in here which I think was a breather for someone to remember everything. Made him more “human” I think. Robie had more of a supporting cast than just a one off appearance which I loved. Love me some Will Robie. So hopefully Baldacci’s next book is Robie and Jessica for sure. The team of Kyf and Orlagh was astounding as usual. They go off each other well I believe. Must have in my eyes. And didn’t notice until earlier but this book is my 100th book and probably like 20 of my books are from Baldacci. Grab it. Listen to it. You won’t be unhappy.

David Baldacci is obviously woke
I have read and enjoyed other David Baldacci books before. I’m only about 2 hours into this one, but very disappointed. So far, the entire book is belittling everyone in the flyover states and doing its very best to insinuate that all masculine traits are toxic. I’m not a macho guy, by any means, but line after line intended to belittle and demean the average blue collar man is ridiculous. I’m doubtful that I will finish this book, it’s just too absurd.

I was bored
Amos lacked the same quirkiness of the first book. I don't know if I'll read the next one.

Really garbled with stops in the middle.
Characters were hard to care about. Not a lot of coherence for me. That's about it, won't be back to Baldacci.
