The Forgotten

De: David Baldacci

Narrado por: Ron McLarty, Orlagh Cassidy

When Army Special Agent John Puller finds his aunt dead in Florida, he suspects it's no accident...and as local police dismiss the case, the cracks begin to show in a picture-perfect town in this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller.

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.

Good except for...

The book was great. A little farfetched at times, but that's expected in thriller fiction. What I didn't like were the annoying sound effects and the female narrator...just sounds "staged", not natural. Other than those minor things, I enjoyed it as I do most of Baldacci's books.

one of the best

I am glad I did not accept the critical thoughts of others and bought this book. I liked the sound affects which were perfect in my opinion and in the proper places.

This is the fourth book I have read by author -David Baldacci and the narrating team of Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy was absolutely superb.

This reading was so close to 5 star that I had to give it a five star rating ( the first time I have)

Definitely going to read more. He is starting to be one of my favorite authors.

Baldacci never dissapoints! These narrators are my very favorite. Having both male and female narrators makes listening even more enjiyabke.

Baldacci did not disappoint

Suspenseful with some unexpected plot twists. Only disappointment was Baldacci doesn’t usually employ gratuitous sex and there was some in this book - some necessary for the storyline but some not.

This is a great sequel -- Loving it from the beginning. As always the narrators are the best.

Good book - unnecessary sound effects

For me, the sound effects and music actually detracted from the story. Would have been better without them.
