Publisher's summary

David Baldacci brings back Sean King and Michelle Maxwell - former Secret Service agents turned private investigators, featured in the hit TNT TV series King & Maxwell - in their most surprising, personal, and dangerous case ever....

It seems at first like a simple, tragic story. Tyler Wingo, a teenage boy, learns the awful news that his father, a soldier, was killed in action in Afghanistan. Then the extraordinary happens: Tyler receives a communication from his father...after his supposed death.

Tyler hires Sean and Michelle to solve the mystery surrounding his father. But their investigation quickly leads to deeper, more troubling questions. Could Tyler's father really still be alive? What was his true mission? Could Tyler be the next target?

Sean and Michelle soon realize that they've stumbled on to something bigger and more treacherous than anyone could have imagined. And as their hunt for the truth leads them relentlessly to the highest levels of power and to uncovering the most clandestine of secrets, Sean and Michelle are determined to help and protect Tyler - though they may pay for it with their lives.

(Book 6 of the series)

ANOTHE BALDACCI WINNER!

BALDACCI never fails to deliver an exciting story and Ron McCarty and Orlagh Cassidy never fail to bring the characters to life.

King and Maxwell

This was a very good book. The plot twisted and turned. Please write more with King and Maxwell.

I CANT Believe this is how the series ends...

What did you love best about King and Maxwell?

This was a good story but not the best King and Maxwell of the series... I'm a little disappointed- there was no twists and no way to leave the series... about as disappointing as the series being cancelled in the first season.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

meh

Have you listened to any of Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, this was a better King and Maxwell interpretation but they will always be better at Robie and Reel... Myabe because the series started out with Scott Brick.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Once Mans vengence is nothing for King and Maxwell

Any additional comments?

Who in the World thought it was a good idea to cast Rebecca Romijn as Michelle Maxwell? Beautiful but not believable

GREAT

Loved the twist in the story. Would love to have more of Edgar's character involvement from the beginning. It would be interesting to have King & Maxwell cross paths with Will Robbie & Jessica.

Please no sound effects.

I really wish producers would not add sound effects. I think they actually detract from the story, especially when listening at faster speeds.

THERE BETTER BE ANOTHER BOOK IN THIS SERIES

I'm very hopeful that there will be books 7 coming around the corner soon. King and Maxwell was a great book because it had so many twists and turns, but you also see the possibility of a romantic opportunity for these 2 characters. They are definitely made for each other, so Mr. Baldacci, get busy, LOL….

Review of King and Maxwell

I enjoyed the book however the male narrator needs to learn how to sound different in the different characters he plays it was often very hard to tell who was talking because he sounds exactly the same as the last character but overall a good book
