Publisher's summary

When her husband mysteriously disappears in a plane crash into the Virginia countryside, a devastated wife must sort out truth from lies in this pause-resisting New York Times best seller.

Sidney Archer has it all: a husband she loves, a job at which she excels, and a cherished young daughter. Then, as a plane plummets into the Virginia countryside, everything changes. And suddenly there is no one whom Sidney Archer can trust.

Jason Archer is a rising young executive at Triton Global, the world's leading technology conglomerate. Determined to give his family the best of everything, Archer has secretly entered into a deadly game. He is about to disappear - leaving behind a wife who must sort out his lies from his truths, an accident team that wants to know why the plane he was ticketed on crashed, and a veteran FBI agent who wants to know it all.

LOVE BALDACCI!!!!

I'm amazed that this book received so many negative reviews. I certainly enjoyed every minute of it. There were enough twists and turns to hold one's attention. I never found it boring and I think that Jonathan Marosz did a good job at bringing the characters to life.

Take a chance on this one. You can always do a return if it doesn't measure up to a good rating for you. I, personally wasn't disappointed at all.

Book was good, interesting reading a book where people still used pagers.

I had a hard time listening to this on because the narrator sounded like he was reading a list except during the conversation parts.
The story was good though. I like that Baldacci has so many strong women characters, but this one was a little out there with her rig an attorney and making mincemeat out of so many highly qualified people. That being said, I enjoyed the book.

slow start

By far one of my favorite authors, but this one almost made me do a return. It was very slow starting out. I couldn't get into it. But I kept listening and it turned out to be a good book.

Creative storylines.

Pretty decent book. Not in the 5 star level. There are parts that are not realistic.
