Publisher's summary

When her husband mysteriously disappears in a plane crash into the Virginia countryside, a devastated wife must sort out truth from lies in this pause-resisting New York Times best seller.

Sidney Archer has it all: a husband she loves, a job at which she excels, and a cherished young daughter. Then, as a plane plummets into the Virginia countryside, everything changes. And suddenly there is no one whom Sidney Archer can trust.

Jason Archer is a rising young executive at Triton Global, the world's leading technology conglomerate. Determined to give his family the best of everything, Archer has secretly entered into a deadly game. He is about to disappear - leaving behind a wife who must sort out his lies from his truths, an accident team that wants to know why the plane he was ticketed on crashed, and a veteran FBI agent who wants to know it all.

Great book

Where does Total Control rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It was a great suspenseful story without international politics , it kept me guessing and I was very surprised by the ending

What did you like best about this story?

It involved regular working people

Which character – as performed by Jonathan Marosz – was your favorite?

Lee

Any additional comments?

Yes I would have given it a 5 but the narrated seemed to read to fast , I loved his voice and the different tones he used but he could have slowed it down just a little , I felt he was in a hurry to get it read

Offer McLarty & Cassidy Whatever They Want

Would you consider the audio edition of Total Control to be better than the print version?

This was a GREAT story but would have been MUCH better read by Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy. I love Baldacci's stories but they really come to life with McLarty and Cassidy. I was Not at all impressed with Jonathan Marosz.

What other book might you compare Total Control to and why?

I really can't say

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

No
