Publisher's summary

In Paradise, nothing is what it seems....

Army Special Agent John Puller is the best there is. A combat veteran, Puller is the man the U.S. Army relies on to investigate the toughest crimes facing the nation. Now he has a new case - but this time, the crime is personal: His aunt has been found dead in Paradise, Florida.

A picture-perfect town on Florida's Gulf Coast, Paradise thrives on the wealthy tourists and retirees drawn to its gorgeous weather and beaches. The local police have ruled his aunt's death an unfortunate, tragic accident. But just before she died, she mailed a letter to Puller's father, telling him that beneath its beautiful veneer, Paradise is not all it seems to be.

What Puller finds convinces him that his aunt's death was no accident… and that the palm trees and sandy beaches of Paradise may hide a conspiracy so shocking that some will go to unthinkable lengths to make sure the truth is never revealed.

Superb

I have really enjoyed this book. It started strong from almost the first paragraph and only got better. Good story, great performance (I don't like the sound effects though), overall enjoyable!!!! Looking forward to next one.

Incredibly perfect story line.

This book is very entertaining at many levels. Has a bit of every genre. And like all my favorite books, keeps you at the edge of your seat with so much action and suspense. I'm highly pleased and strongly recommend this book and author.

Well done

Compelling story, well- paced. Nice balance between character development and action. McLarty/Cassidy a great combination. Wish there were more books in the series.

Nothing less than superb!

If you could sum up The Forgotten in three words, what would they be?

preseverence, humility, teamwork

What did you like best about this story?

Insight into Puller's character.

What does Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Two of the most excellent narrators in the audio arena. Anyone can narrate, but these two bring the characters to life!

Any additional comments?

I hope this is a character Mr. Baldacci plans to keep around!

John Puller is a great character

I hadn't read any of Baldacci's books in a while and I had been missing out on a lot. Most of his stories are fantastic. This series is right up there with his best.

Puller is one of my favorite characters. This story is very engaging. I couldn't put this down. There are many characters and, as Puller's aunt says in her letter, things are not what they seem.

About the only thing that detracted from this audiobook is the incessant special effects. I find them very distracting and overly dramatic.
