Resumen del Editor

The second title in David Baldacci's best-selling series, The Forgotten is a fast-paced action thriller, featuring the hero of Zero Day – John Puller.

Criminal investigator John Puller is drawn closer to home when his aunt is found dead in her house in Paradise, Florida. The local police have ruled the death as an accident, but

Puller finds evidence to suggest that she may well have been murdered.

On the surface the town lives up to its name, but as Puller digs deeper he realizes that this town and its inhabitants are more akin to Hell than Paradise. His belief is confirmed as evidence of strange and inexplicable events come to light. And when Puller learns the truth about what is happening in this once sleepy town, he knows that his discoveries will impact far wider than Paradise.

Any additional comments?

I liked the idea of two readers, doing the male and female parts. I also loved the music and sound effects throughout the book. Made it very realistic. I was very impressed with this production.

Overall - as good as all his other books

The suspense gets a little too draggy at some point - but that happens - otherwise a pleasant read if you like this genre

A shocking story, thank goodness it is fiction

What did you love best about The Forgotten?

Although the premise for the book is a very sad one, the depth of the characters keeps you listening and rooting for John Puller to uncover the truth

Who was your favorite character and why?

John Puller , I can see why David Baldacci used him again

What about Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy ’s performance did you like?

This pair are my favourite narrators, I much prefer books that have male voices for male characters and female voices for female characters, you feel so much more connected to the characters.

Great Book Great Narration

Agent John Puller is still recovering from his last nightmare when he receives news from his father that his Aunt may need some help. Upon arriving in Florida he discovers that his Aunt is dead. Was it accidental or was it murder?

The answer to that question leads John on a path that will bring him in conflict with a local crime ring that is dealing in human trafficking, the new major smuggling operation to hit America. As if drugs and illegal immigrants wasn't bad enough we now add to that the importing of slaves through illegal activity. John's aunt may have stumbled on a major crime syndicate.

Add to that a couple of mystery characters and the addition of a one star General and you have a plot line that will hold your attention as well as take you into the world of slave trade.

Is the book a political statement or a military police investigation novel? Yes on both accounts. Will John solve the problem on his own or with the help of a small town police force? Will the local police be helpful or will they look inept?

I think Baldacci does a good job of bringing to light a major crime issue while giving us a good novel that will hold our attention. Baldacci fans will enjoy this work. New listeners will also enjoy it and will be drawn into wanting to go back to listen to the previous novels.

Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy were outstanding with the delivery of the story.

Brilliant and addictive

My second Baldacci book and I'm going to find many more, the characters, story line and pace were good and I simply couldn't make this book last by only listening in the car...

I just couldn't put down this book! It's 5AM here!

I love Baldacci, Sandford and Lee Child. If you are into those authors as well you won't be disappointed. Also duo Oralgh Cassidy and Ron McLarty works great building atmosphere and tension. I hope they will read together more and more books. The only part of the book lacking a little bit is the ending, but still I recommend this book.

Good Book

This is a good book. I did not find it as good as the previous ones but still entertaining.

Excellent Expose

The sad reality of human trafficking. It’s all about the money. A good story, well told.
