Publisher's summary

In Paradise, nothing is what it seems....

Army Special Agent John Puller is the best there is. A combat veteran, Puller is the man the U.S. Army relies on to investigate the toughest crimes facing the nation. Now he has a new case - but this time, the crime is personal: His aunt has been found dead in Paradise, Florida.

A picture-perfect town on Florida's Gulf Coast, Paradise thrives on the wealthy tourists and retirees drawn to its gorgeous weather and beaches. The local police have ruled his aunt's death an unfortunate, tragic accident. But just before she died, she mailed a letter to Puller's father, telling him that beneath its beautiful veneer, Paradise is not all it seems to be.

What Puller finds convinces him that his aunt's death was no accident… and that the palm trees and sandy beaches of Paradise may hide a conspiracy so shocking that some will go to unthinkable lengths to make sure the truth is never revealed.

Exciting and intereseting

I enjoyed this book. I like the John Puller series and I like the narrators. Of course like every hero Puller can do it all, but thats ok I like super heros! I liked the characters and the story line in this book. I have enjoyed the entire series.

another Puller prize.

This story about AJohn Puller is the best in the series so far. i find the author's story almost impossible to put down. This particular story broken into small chapters have you wishing for the next chapter to start before you are finished listening to the current one.
David Baldacci is a terrific writer but he has outdone himself with this one! only took less than a week to complete this book. thanks for a wonderful story.

I love John Puller!!!

Another fantastic Puller book. The storyline is twisty and full of emotion. Bad guys are bad! A couple of unexpected events round out the outcome.

Puller is the new Reacher!!!

If you could sum up The Forgotten in three words, what would they be?

Action packed mystery

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes...it was constant action and mystery up to the twist at the end.

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

I like both performances, they have a diverse array of voices that aides the listener in picturing the story.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No not really.

Another great Baldacci Book

I've enjoyed every Puller book I've listened to. No difference this time around. I recommend this to anyone looking for a well written and narrated audiobook.

Movie Time?

Where does The Forgotten rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I've only listened to five books so far but I really liked this book and I can't wait till the movie comes out!

Great story- awesome series

Don't listen to the negative reviews. I have listened to the entire series (3 books to date) ... I skipped this one at first due to the reviews. Very glad I decided to get it!

Hooked - Start to Finished

I got this audiobook by mistake. I was looking for something else. However, once I started listening I could not stop. I finished it the next day. From the beginning, the book peeked my interest enough for me to put off looking for the book that brought me to my account. I found the storyline interesting and stimulating. One of those kind of stories where you enjoy figuring the outcome. The presentation was capivating. I highly recommend The Forgotten to anyone looking for an intriguing audiobook.

Very Good

Story was great. Characters well developed. Narration very good. Some of the reviews said the music was distracting. I did not find this to be true. The added voice for female rolls was great.

Spanish language lover says thumbs down

The story seemed to be the traditional Adventure Criminal type. but every time the reader spoke Spanish I cringed. it seems to me that in a country where there is so much Spanish spoken he could have done a little research to find out how to pronounce the words properly.
