Publisher's summary

Locked in a battle of nerve and wits, a mysterious intelligence operative and a vigilante agent race against time to take down a greedy businessman bent on destroying millions of lives in this number one New York Times best-selling thriller.

Evan Waller is a monster...

He has built a fortune from his willingness to buy and sell anything...and anyone. In search of new opportunities, Waller has just begun a new business venture: One that could lead to millions of deaths all over the globe. On his trail is Shaw, the mysterious operative from The Whole Truth, who has tracked Waller to Provence and must prevent him from closing his latest deal. But someone else is pursuing Waller: Reggie Campion, an agent for a secret vigilante group headquartered in a musty old English estate - and she has an agenda of her own.

Hunting the same man and unaware of each other's mission, Shaw and Reggie will be caught in a deadly duel of nerves and wits. Hitchcockian in its intimate buildup of suspense and filled with the remarkable characters, breathtaking plot turns, and blockbuster finale that are David Baldacci's hallmarks, Deliver Us From Evil is one of the most gripping thrillers you'll listen to this year.

One Great Read for sure.

wow

spellbinding from beginning to end.
..can't wait for the next book in this series

Great read

Love David Baldacci and loved this book. I would recommend it. David keep them coming.

gruesome

I found parts sickening and could not listen to them. though I am sure there are people like waller in this world

Great story to follow.

Narration/ excellent.
Well written. Very much enjoyed the plot and characters. Baldachi is a masterful writer!

Flowed really well

Excellent read it kept me on the edge of my seat.  l look forward to the next one in this series.

A good story

I won’t say it was great but it was a good story presented well. Certainly obvious in many places but enjoyable nonetheless.

Gory Without Point

Hmmm. I usually love David Baldacci, but this one was just a bit too gory for seemingly no reason except justifying that the bad guys are really bad, beyond imagination bad, so the good guys are justified in doing morally ambiguous things. I liked Baldacci better when he stayed inside the DC power corridor.

entertaining but uninspired

This is the follow up to The Whole Truth featuring Shaw the mysterious man who works for a mysterious organization. In this sequel, you don't really learn much more about him - he and the organization he works for are still both mysteries.

This story starts (in my opinion) very slowly. The story doesn't really get going until you get 2-3 hours into the book. At that point, you get the excitement and interest that you expect from Baldacci. However, the details in the story are not very inspired. Shaw and the heroine Reggie work for two groups after the same man for different reasons. They combine forces to accomplish their goal. Much of the story suffers from the need of the heroes to kill their quarry in a certain way - rather than just shoot him...they miss numerous chances to just gun him down in favor of more complicated plots to lure him into underground chambers...

If you like Baldacci, you are likely to be entertained by this book but it is not as good as some of his other efforts.

Finally

I quit reading Baldacci when he got into the Oliver Stone books. I think one of the best audible books I have read or heard was "Last Man Standing". This book, "Deliver Us From Evil" has made me a Baldacci fan again.
