Long Shadows

By: David Baldacci

Narrated by: Kyf Brewer, Orlagh Cassidy

From the author of The 6:20 Man, “Memory Man” Amos Decker—an FBI consultant with perfect recall—delves into a bewildering double homicide in this thriller in David Baldacci's #1 New York Times bestselling series.

When Amos Decker is called to South Florida to investigate a double homicide, the case appears straightforward: A federal judge and her bodyguard have been found dead, the judge’s face sporting a blindfold with two eye holes crudely cut out, a clear sign that she’d made one too many enemies over her years on the bench.

What at first seems cut and dry is anything but: Not only did the judge have more enemies than Decker can count—from violent gang members, drug dealers, and smugglers to a resentful ex-husband—but the bodyguard presents additional conundrums that muddy the waters even further. Who was the real target in this vicious attack?

Meanwhile, Decker must contend with a series of unsettling changes, including a new partner—Special Agent Frederica “Freddie” White—and a devastating event that brings Decker’s own tragic past back to the present . . . and forces him to reckon with his future.

As potential witnesses start disappearing, Decker and White are inexorably pulled down a twisted tunnel of secrets, crimes, and scandal—at the end of which lies Decker’s deadliest threat yet.

Alvin and Liz review

Great plot and story in general. There seemed to be a big increase in strong language which was a big detractor for us. Does there really have to be that many F***s and s***s in the dialogue?

So good I’m sorry it’s over

Really enjoyed it. New partner and all. I love the memory man and the humanity he shows. One of my favorite authors

love the series

I've listened to each in the series. tad slow to start as repeating story line for those who failed to read the previous books in the series. I enjoy the main character as well as the many twists toward the end

He never disappoints

I had to slow myself down and savor the story. It is good but too much profanity for me which is the reason I listened a little at a time. I was satisfied with the ending though

Can’t even rate this book

Besides the story being out in the universe somewhere, the performance was worse! The woman that narrates has no idea that the expressions she puts into the words all sound the same, except when she tries to use foreign and even southern, northern, Midwest, etc, accents, then it is more unpleasant and grating. I will never listen to another book she narrates and I have listened to many many books with her annoying voice and because the story was engrossing, but this was the last straw.
The men s voices all sounded the same with little variations in tones and trying to sound like the character,
Why does audible or whoever chooses narrators take time and listen to the finished product??

Best yet

I love all of the Memory man books, but this one was far and away the best. Love the new partner and her back story, loved the mysteries in this one, Grabbed me from the first scene and didn’t let go.

love this author

David Baldacci is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. This book didn't disappoint

Love Decker

David Baldacci wtits some of the most interesting book with amazing twists and turns. Can't wait for the next one.

Exciting

Mr. Baldacci seems to keep getting better with each book he writes. We do thoroughly enjoy the Memory Man books. We hope there will be more.

Good story with a twist at the end

I like the Amos Decker novels, this one gave him more human emotions and feelings and I enjoyed it as well as the twist at the end of the story! Great book! Another score for Baldacci!
