Publisher's summary

The number one best seller.

Long Road to Mercy is the heart-pounding first novel in the FBI Special Agent Atlee Pine series by bestselling author David Baldacci.

It is 30 years since FBI special agent Atlee Pine’s twin sister, Mercy, was taken from the room they shared as young children. Notorious serial killer Daniel James Tor, was caught and convicted of other murders, and while there’s no proof, Atlee believes he knows what happened to Mercy. Tor still resides in a high-security prison in Colorado.

Assigned to the remote wilds of the western United States, Atlee has never stopped the search for her sister, and, wracked with survivor’s guilt, she has spent her life hunting down those who hurt others. She will always ask herself, ‘Why her, and not me?’

Now, Atlee is called in to investigate a case in the Grand Canyon when a mule is found dead with strange carvings on its body, and its rider missing. She knows about killers and perhaps understands them better than any profiler in the FBI, but it soon becomes clear that she will need to put her skills to the ultimate test in this investigation.It seems that Atlee will now have to confront a new monster. And face the one of her nightmares.

Slow to start with

Long Road to Mercy was very slow to start with. Both story & narrator. Actually, it took me 2 goes at starting before I decided to tentatively commit.

I keep thinking this a David Baldacci book, it will get better. Around 3 hours it started to grab me. From then on, I really enjoyed it. I look forward to the next book in the series about David Baldacci’s newest hero!

Good fun

Bit slow initially but pace picked up and I enjoyed it.
A few cliches though but with tongue in cheek it was fun

Tag team narrating

The tag team way of narrating the story did my head in. Also I’m not too sure about the purpose or relevance of the side story about Mercy. I loved the strong Main character - but I think this is one book I would have enjoyed more if I’d read it myself.

Ramba

The heroine in this implausible story makes Rambo a weakling. With her around you can conquer all. The story is far fetched and sounds like an anti Trump essay.

Chronic

Contrived story and abysmal narration. Don't bother buying. After the first hour I gave up; the waste of an hour.

Blasphemy

Why use my savior’s name as a swear word? If you respect people’s believes please respect mine too.
