Redemption Memory Man series David Baldacci Kyf Brewer Orlagh Cassidy Books Reviews

• I really enjoyed this latest outing in the Amos Decker series. I wasn't all that crazy about the last book in this series but this one more than lived up to my expectations. There were a couple of clues in the book I sussed out before Decker (having to do with a print left behind at an old crime scene and something fishy about a diner that features heavily in this book). I'm not sure if that more of a commentary about Baldacci's writing or more that maybe I have finally read so many mystery novels I'm figuring out the clues earlier, haha.
  
  I was pretty sure about halfway through that I had figured out the bulk of the mystery, but I was completely wrong. And then about three-quarters of the way through I was certain I had figured out the main reason behind the murders and again, I was wrong, haha. So all of that is to say that there were a lot of twists and turns along the way and I found I just could not put this book down until I got to the end, which featured several surprises.
  
  Really good book and I love it when an author as well known as Baldacci doesn't get complacent after he's made it big. Can't wait for the next book in this series!
• Amos Decker is back in another solid offering from Baldacci. Many twists of plot with interesting villains to challenge all of Decker’s analytical abilities. Surprises abound in his small hometown as he pays his annual visit to the graves of his wife and daughter. Murders aplenty, treachery, lies and stonewalling adversaries keeps one’s interest till the mystery is solved.
• If you haven’t yet delved into the world of Memory Man’s main character, Amos Decker, you’re missing out! While each novel can be read as a standalone, for me it worked better to read from the first book to date. I enjoyed seeing how Amos was growing as an FBI agent and as a man who suffered a head injury via the NFL.
  The series introduces Amos when he returns home in book one titled, Memory Man, to learn of the murders of his wife and daughter. From there, Amos spirals into a pit of darkness both professionally and in his personal life. What was really gripping in the latest novel was the way the author wove a mystery. Readers get a hint early as to who is the culprit only to learn…well, I won’t say so as not to ruin it for you who haven’t enjoyed it as of yet.
  The author has written a very engaging and riveting tale that kept me turning pages for hours. There were intricacies that made the story a surprise in the direction it takes and reveals a deeper plot than what is first apparent to the eye. Amos is changing since his appearance in book one and in many ways, he is also the same. There were a few heart touching-moments as I read parts that revealed Amos’s internal struggles and thoughts. Amos Decker is definitely a deep thinker. His personality quirks are at times frustrating to other characters but also endearing.
  I think readers will enjoy watching Amos Decker as he solves crimes, bucks the system and learns to live with loss. The series starts with Memory Man followed by The Last Mile, The Fix, The Fallen and now Redemption. Suspense, mystery, intrigue, and more fill the pages and will keep your nose in the book all the while engaging your mind as you try and solve the puzzle presented in each installment.
  I highly recommend starting at the beginning to really appreciate the character as he changes, grows and in some ways remains the Amos from the first book to the fifth. I hope the author plans more exciting adventures for Amos!
• I loved the previous four books in the memory man series. To me, this 5th book was a disappointment and not up to the usual Baldacci writing. Amos is back in his hometown of Ohio to visit his wife and daughter's graves. Once his partner, Jamison, leaves to return to the FBI, it is Amos and his old police partner trying to figure out a crime committed 10 years ago. The book added no new depth to the memory man, even when his friend Melvin Mars showed up, I felt he was very shallow and did not add much to the story. Much of the story line was spent summarizing Amos Decker, what happened to him and his family and why he is the way he is. I suppose that is necessary for the reader who is reading the memory man for the first time, but I found it distracting. The storyline itself felt formula driven and so similar to the 4th book (all about what happened in Baronville, which was a great story) that this 5th book seemed dull and repetitive to me. Bottom line, I could have skipped reading this story and not felt that I missed something important in the memory man's life. I will look forward to reading Baldacci's next book in this series, and hope that he steps us the storyline.
• David Baldacci is at his best with this book. He just keeps getting better with each book. I cannot wait for the next Memory Man book or any other book that he writes.
• I immensely enjoy the Amos Decker series! One of my favorite characters! I look forward to more adventures with him. I highly recommend!
• This is one of Baldacci's best....torn from the headlines of our news in the last 2 years. I can't remember the exact number, but, the govt. has given a huge number of foreign spies and assets in our country these days. It certainly is food for thought.
• He is such a good author. All of his books are beyond great. I have followed him for years and still all of his works are outstanding. Keep it up
